Time marches on...

..and right across me, apparently.

BabyStar walks now. I was so not prepared. I was so sure I'd have at least until his birthday.

Walks. Chases his brother around the house. The baby. Is walking. BoyStar is thrilled to have a partner in crime.

I'm still processing. BoyStar's infancy went so quickly. I tried so hard to make sure I enjoyed every moment of babyhood this time. Tried to imprint every day of this past year, to store up those memories, to keep him small and new.

It's an uneasy balance, this holding on and letting go.
