Not so fast, please.

Last night I picked up Vincent and held him while he was sleeping.

Things can get crazy and frustrating during the day, but there is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby.

I just stared at him and took in all of the little details:

The way his eyelashes curl, the shape of his lips and his tiny fingers.

He has already changed so much in three months.

I cuddled him close and realized that this isn't going to last forever.

First he'll start walking, then he'll leave me for school, serve a mission and find a woman to marry.

It's easy to wish away the time.

But last night I wanted time to stand still.

I am going to miss this special time with my first baby.

I am determined to enjoy each of Vincent's stages more fully.

So Vince, you can grow up... but not so fast, please.
