Rolling Over

Yeah for Caleb!!  He finally rolled over all the way on his very own today.  He's been trying for several days now and was getting close.  He likes to roll back to front. I'm just glad that I was able to actually catch it on camera....well on my cell phone camera...that's still something.  Half the time "that special/eventful moment" passes before I can get the camera and shoot some pictures, regardless of how often I carry the camera around or have it ready and close by.

His little toy turtle was laying a little far over and he wanted it to play with.  

He had thrown it over there not too long before I took this shot. 

 And the rolling begins

 Ahhh....made it...got my turtle.

I love this moment.  I remember when Miles rolled over and I can't believe that Caleb has.  This again is just another step in his learning and growing process.  I get really excited over these moments and then there is a slight second where I am sad because it means they are growing and that time is passing by.  Oh, but I have pictures...and one day I'm sure when my boys are grown I will pull these pictures out, lose myself in the moment remembering when this happened, and smile to myself.  I'm sure I will also be telling them "I remember when...." and they may go "yes mom" or "not again mom" but that time is far from now I tell myself.  People always say to me "treasure this time, it goes by fast."  It makes me wonder sometimes if I am enjoying every moment.  But when I really think about, I know that I am enjoying it the best I can, there are those days where Miles is driving me crazy, screaming while we are in line at Target, or hiding from me between the clothes racks, and Caleb is crying at the top of his lungs...I wonder to myself "what am I doing" or "I just want this to end"....but if I stop and take a deep breath and remember the moments, like that above, they outweigh the crazy ones (which sometimes are funny also...later, much later) it is all worth it.
