Don't blink.

Today, B is nine months old. In some ways, it kind of seems like I've always been his Mommy, but in others, nine months seem to have gone by in a blink. Last weekend, on the ferry back from Long Island, I was standing on the deck with B in the Baby Bjorn, when a man turned to me and said, "Don't blink. Whatever you do, don't blink. Mine is 16 already and it seems like yesterday that she was that age." So, along today's recurring theme of staying in the moment, I'm going to try not to blink, because I don't want to miss a thing!
