9 months? Where has the time gone?

Charlie is 9 months and my mother tatted grilling me for his first birthday ideas and plans. When did this happen? One second he's a sweet and snugly newborn, and now he's a wiggly, adventurous baby. 

He's always been really big for his age and I think that's part of what's making him seem older. I just want him to stay my little baby for ever!!

At the same time, however, I can't wait to see my little guy come into his own and express himself--become himself. Haha here I am thinking of him in 3-4 years and we just bought his first pair of shoes that fit yesterday. 

The biggest thing for me personally is to enjoy each moment and not put the cart before the horse. I can't experience him at 3 until I've experienced him at 1. 

I gotta finish planning his party so I can start making invitations.
