MMMMMM.  I can’t sleep.  I was all snuggly in my bed watching Maggie sleep.  She is getting chubby and yummy looking.  She really does get prettier every day.  Every time I look at her I am struck with how fleeting this first year is.  As excited as I am to see her get big and learn and grow, part of me keeps yelling, “Stop growing right now!”  She’s so small and perfect.  There is a feeling of contentment you have with a little baby that you just don’t get any other way.  I nibbled on her ittybitty fingers while I was trying to fall asleep.  They are so soft and so unbelievably tiny.  Of course she started stirring in her sleep.  I could hear the future teenager saying, “Lay off mom, I’m trying to sleep here. . .” 
I wish we could take the time we have with them as infants and give up sleeping for that year so we could enjoy it more.  Then we could sleep a little extra when they reach toddlerhood. (Not that they aren’t cute then, it’s just not that blissful, sweet, perfection cute at that point, it’s more of a “you are so cute and in sooo much trouble you little stinker” kind of cute.)
I wish I had enjoyed a little more of Jonas’ babyhood.  I was very eager to see him reach milestones. I’m excited for Maggie’s development too, but I am doing everything I can to live in the moment with her, because the moment is very, very delectable.

Did I mention she has my nose?  Look at that little elbow dimple!  I could literally eat her up.
