You weren't always this tall...

my belly-laugher, run-let's-catch-her,

mama's little love.

book-reader, daddy-greeter,

getting so tall.

I watch you run,

You're just having fun,

You don't know I'm watching all you do.

heart-holder, getting bolder,

always on the go.

nose-namer, kiss-claimer,

you're stealing my heart.

Don't grow up so fast,

I want these days to last,

Can't stop the clock from spinning 'round.

heart-breaker, smile-maker

mommy loves you so! 

*sometimes I like to write poetry. Especially after listening to this song that makes me cry and think about how babies grow up too fast. I know I borrowed the rhythm and style. Indulge me. Thanks! 🙂

I liked the book reader -daddy greeter! Everyone always says how awesome it is to be a Mom and then you have your own little one you finally get it and it melts your heart!

  4. Lovely. Simply lovely. And all so true. I keep tell the kids to stop growing and they just don't listen. The clock just keeps ticking and I feel like it's on fast forward. Well stated.
