It's too easy to forget...
...that these moments are finite. Josephine is lying here next to me, snuggled up. She is quiet and calm and so very much a baby. But, soon, she will grow and change and her personality will gather steam. I will love those moments, but you can be sure I will miss her smooth baby skin, her steady gaze, and her soft noises. Because babies just don't keep.

You just made me cry! My Mom stitched a sampler before I was born that said:
The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.
