A nice reminder.

So I have seen this saying a few different places in the last couple of days,

 

"And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."

Seeing how my baby girl will be turning one on September 2nd it kinda hit a soft spot.

It goes by all too quickly. It seems like she just came into our lives just days ago. Im having a hard time believing its almost been a year. We knew she would be our last baby but Im still having a hard time accepting that we are experiencing all these "firsts" for the last time. Anyone who knows me really well knows that Im a bit OCD about my house. If its a mess so am I, but this quote makes me wish that I had let things slide a bit & enjoyed it more. Before you know it they go from this:

To this:

in no time at all. It leaves you wondering where it all went, and thinking about how much of it was wasted on things  that didn't matter. As much as I would love to keep her little forever I do look forward to watching her grow up. She is definately destined for great things!
