Owen Benjamin, 8 months old!

8 months ago I loved you more then anything I ever had, even though I had just met you.
8 months later I love you more then anything I ever have, and know you better then anyone I have ever met.
8 months ago I was scared to fall asleep, worried that something might happen to you.
8 months later I still check on you a dozen times each night.
8 months ago I was amazed by what you were.
8 months later I am still in awe of what you are becoming.
8 months ago I couldn't imagine you growing any older.
8 months later I can see you in the future.
8 months have come and gone. I need time to stop. I love this boy and I devour every single day I have with him while he is still so small. I love you ob, and I will try to remember every small thing you do, for that is what makes life ... life. You clap, you crawl, you wave, you laugh, you explore, you try to talk to me, you play with my hair, you pull yourself up. You love me more then anyone else has.

OH my gosh, what a sweet little post. Owen is so cute, I love his little polo shoes at church, he is such a little stud! I'll be honest I can't believe that he is 8 months old already, time sure does fly!
