A sad day...

Sunday was a sad day. I was folding clothes and I keep Aaron's clothes separate. So when I got to them, I decided I needed to pull out some items that were getting a little too small for him. The outfit that he came home in, the best friends outfit with a jacket and pants, has been retired. Well, at least the onesie. He still fits in the jacket and pants for now. But it was one of my favorite outfits! (Thanks Meghan!!) Slowly but surely he will grow out of everything but it's just a little sad.

I was watching John and Kate plus 8 the other day and they took the little kids to get their first haircut (it was a rerun). And John said something profound (at least to me because I never thought of it this way). He said that it was a little sad because they were cutting off the hair they were born with. Aaron has such pretty hair, which, by the way, I think is blonde. And it's so soft, unlike Chuck's hair. I'm sure it can change and it might, but this is the hair he was born with and I'm sure Chuck is going to make me get it cut long before I'm ready because he'll want to keep it short. It's growing so fast!! It just glows in the sunlight! It's wonderful!

Just a side note: I love lying in bed at night, right after we put Aaron to sleep, and he makes those wonderful baby noises like a little jabber or a big baby sigh. I LOVE that!!

Today was a happy day for me! I realized that only 2 months from now, I will wake up in the same state, city... house as my adorable nephew! I'm so excited! It's a long way away from now in a way, but it's getting closer and closer!

I'm still sad putting Noah's clothes away! I just went through all his clothes Sunday and had to put probably 2/3 of it away! And I definitely miss his little curls that we cut off a few weeks ago! Don't let Chuckie "make" you cut Aaron's hair when he wants. You both need to be ready to let it go!! Love you all!

I know what your talking about. I still feel sad when we have to put away clothes that no longer fit Haddie. She is very tall for her age... she's in 9 month clothes. At least I'm no longer crying about it like I did when I put away her newborn stuff :). But I can't help but feel sad!
