Time

The other day Jake said, "Megan, we're going to wake up tomorrow and be 50." That's a scary thought but so true! We started talking about when we started dating and it's been 8 years. I can't believe it. And now we have a little girl who is already 3 MONTHS as of yesterday! Life up to this point has went by so fast but at the same time it seems like I've always had Jake and my little girl with me. I can't imagine life without them.

Last night was a big night for Kaylee and I both. I actually don't think Kaylee thought much of it but I did. Kaylee has been sleeping 8-10 hours every night. I know - AWESOME! I borrowed some baby monitors yesterday so last night was Kaylee's first night in her crib in her own room. I was nervous that she wouldn't sleep well because of the new environment and whatnot. I don't know what I was thinking - she slept great! Everyone told me that I wouldn't sleep because I would hear every little noise. Well for the first time, Kaylee was the quietest little sleeper. I wanted so badly for her to make any kind of noise. Needless to say, I checked on her multiple times. She was fine. At least one of us was getting some sleep.

Anyway, I got a little sad last night when I put her in her crib for her first night without Jake and I and thinking about how fast time is flying. Before I know it she'll be walking and then going to school and then dating and then graduating and then getting married. I know I'm being a little silly already thinking about her moving out and going to college when she's only 3 months old and all I did was put her in her crib but it just makes me sad to think she won't be my baby girl, who loves to snuggle with me and smiles every time she sees me in the morning, forever.

So I'll just enjoy the journey and all of the special moments as they fly by and try to write it all down so I can look back and enjoy them all over again.

I started bawling one day thinking that one day we could EMBARRASS them. And one day they won't want us to hold their hand ... and one day they won't let us cover them in kisses. I am going to tear up again ... BAH! So you're right ... we just enjoy every second!

One of the greatest things about life is the wonderful memories you make along the way. It will go fast so write things down so you can relive them over and over. I love you all! mom and grandma
