Today I am thankful for baby sounds. I hope I never forget the unique sound of how you sip through a straw, chew a cheerio or breathe in your sleep. My days are full of those sounds and it is easy to take these precious moments for granted. But after you go to bed and I have 30 seconds to myself I miss you and all of these little Caelanisms. You turned 1 year old yesterday and I am starting to realize just how quickly time is passing and how soon it may be that I will no longer hear these exact baby sounds. They will be replaced by other sounds; sounds of childhood. And I will love those moments equally. But right now I just want to make sure that I don't forget the sweet sounds of your first year. It has come and gone more quickly than I could ever explain or could have ever imagined.
