Maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones, but my heart can’t even take this sweetness.  

I want to remember Max at this age forever.  Surrounded by his penguins and other animals, the Starbucks holiday cup that he insists on sleeping with in case he needs coffee, and the cloth under his face “pe-cuz I’m afraid I will drool.”  My camera is the closest thing I have to a pause button, but I would love to just freeze time and dwell in a moment or a season just a little bit longer sometimes.
