Where did the time go

Tonight, I was sitting here looking on Pinterest, Google, buy buy baby, and Amazon for things for Dillon's first birthday party/pictures. I suddenly realized that we are a month and a half from him being a year old.
I almost felt like I was going to have a panic attack. How has his first year of life gone so quickly?

Everyone always tells you time flies but when you are going day to day, it is hard to realize how quickly time is ticking. Even though I have watched him hit various milestones, grow, and learn it still shocks me we are so close to the one year mark. I want to freeze time and just keep him as my baby forever but at the same time am eager to continue to watch him grow and achieve. I want to treasure every second even more, hug him a little tighter, and enjoy (well try to) washing bottles, changing diapers, and folding the endless piles of tiny baby clothes because I am realizing how that will eventually be a thing of the past.
Yes, he is only going to be one but with how quickly this year went I can only imagine how fast the next couple years will go.
As I am typing this one handed, my little man is snuggled up laying on my other arm. I love his snuggles and can't help but want to lay here with him while he sleeps , imagining all the glory his future will hold.

Every day with you is a blessing, Dillon. I love celebrating every little milestone (like learning how to get off the couch/bed without face planting) with you. I love watching how excited you get to watch Bob the builder, Mickey mouse, Paw Patrol, or Dinosaur train and how you start dancing to every song. I love watching your bond with your Dada, auntie, nana, and Papa and how excited you get to see friends or other kids. And most importantly I love when you wrap your tiny arms around me and give me hugs and kisses, or the smile you get when you see me, I love playing hide and seek with you, and watching you explore. Never lose your stubbornness or temper because with your strong will you can achieve anything you put your mind to and I hope you never lose that gleam of excitement in your eyes as you enter each day. God has big plans for you little man and if you follow his path I guarantee he has a wonderful adventure planned for you
Love forever and always
