I promise. ♡

My baby is almost 1. 😭 I've only ever breastfed him since he was born, no formula. It's gonna be hard for me when he no longer needs to be breastfed.. The way he looks up & smiles at me. Touches my face when he's being fed. I wish I had someone to take pictures of him & I in the moment we're off guard. Just to capture & forever keep those memories but I have no one to do that kind of stuff. I'm gonna miss all the messes he makes, all the moments he wants my attention while I'm cooking or cleaning so he walks up to me, hugging my leg or pulling on my pants for me to notice him. When we're asleep & he wakes up just to go back to sleep on my stomach or chest. When he peeps around a corner so I can just barely see his face & once he sees I'm about to run after him, he quickly turns around, running away while laughing. I try to take as many pictures of him as I can because I know one day he won't be so little anymore. Knowing that I carried him in my stomach for 9 months & he trusts & loves me more than anyone, makes me feel like the luckiest mother in the world. In this moment, I'm realizing that he's gonna grow up, He's gonna get hurt at times, He's gonna struggle sometimes, have heartbreaks, get sick. All of it is a part of life no matter how hard I'd wanna try to keep him away from all of it. I can't help but think sometimes that I fail as a mother or that I'll let him down but I'm absolutely gonna try my best to give him everything he needs & support him no matter what. To always keep him happy. That's a promise I'll always keep. ❤
