Two more days: Today and tomorrow. In honor of TWO more days of blogging, I'm going to list the two major reasons I'm so glad I've kept up with my boys' baby blogs. First Merrit's site and now, Ollie's site.
For one thing, blogging about every little detail of your little one's life makes you actually pay attention to every little detail of your little one's life!! Sounds like a no-brainer, but when you're sleep-deprived and behind on laundry and need to get dinner started and the baby's hungry, it's sometimes hard to slow down and appreciate all your blessings--much less write them down and snap a few accompanying photos. I love it that I was able to capture for all time all of Ollie's milestones, big and small...when the umbilical cord shriveled up and fell off; the first time he rolled over; when that first tooth came in; how good it felt the first time he slept through the night. So much of your baby's first year is a blur, and it's wonderful to have a written down (just about) every minute of it!
Secondly, I know for sure that when the boys are older and they'll have the chance to read through their individual baby blogs (I have had Merrit's printed up and bound into a hardback book and will soon do the same with this web site), they will both know for sure that their Daddy and I were head-over-heels in love with them from before they were even born. That we took pleasure in every moment with them. That we celebrated each accomplishment. That we laughed at their silliness. That we sometimes struggled to keep our sanity. And that we hugged, snuggled, tickled, and squeezed these kids every single day! This blog is, if nothing else, proof that we think Ollie is ONE IN A MILLION and that we love him with all our hearts.
