On-screen text

11 months The final month of babyhood. The month that feels like goodbye as baby features begin to fade. Every cuddle is a little tighter as if part of me isn't ready to let go. And lasts a little longer because soon this stage will be a memory. Almost one full year of carrying each other through each day, learning and growing and bonding. Together. It's true what they say... don't blink.
