Pay attention.

When life is busier than I'd like.
When babies have been sick.
When I LOVE this stage and don't want it to ever end.
When the bottles have been packed up.
When I never thought we'd survive the first year.
When my arms are tired from holding two babies.
When my back hurts from holding Ella on my hip and holding Sydney's hand.
When I think about my girls growing up.
When their vocabulary consists of ma-ma, da-da, and growling.
When we realize that we probably won't ever have a little baby again.
When I say "put your plate down" for the 50th time.
When Sydney quits crawling and walks everywhere.
When Ella crawls over and lays her head on you.
When I take our amazing life for granted.
