Oh darlin don't you ever grow up...

I cannot believe how much my little Easton has progressed in this one week. I visited my friend Abby in the hospital with her new baby and I'm trying to remember just 3 months ago Easton being that tiny. And guess what? I CANT! How crazy is that. It was only 3 short months. Then to top it all off my little man has decided to hit 3 milestones all in one week...

1. He slept through the night for the first time!

2. He's rolling over like crazy! Front to back, back to front, 360's.

3. He's been able to hold things in his hands for a while now, but on top of that he's starting to reach for things and hit them with his hands

Is this fair that he's progressing so quickly? He is amazing me with one thing after another. I feel like he should still be my little jelly bean inside of me or at least the little boy who use to just be content with laying there and staring up at me. Now before I know it he'll be crawling... and standing... and walking! Eeek.

I have to admit that his new found abilities do bring a smile to my face. Like when he rolls over onto his tummy and back, he gets this look on his face like "Woah, did I really just do that," that always makes me smile. Or when you put your face really close to his to kiss it and he puts his hand on your cheek (or in my mouth, he likes that for some reason). Melts my heart everytime.

I can hardly believe how much he changes everyday.

There is a new song by Taylor Swift called Never Grow Up.

The first verse is perfect for how I'm feeling...

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

So please....

Easton, could you please stay this little?
