12 Years Later and I Can Still Hold Him by alophoto

12 Years Later and I Can Still Hold Him

But he's getting a little too big. I tried picking him up and cradling him standing up but it hurt my already carpel tunnel aching wrist. So the rocking chair that we got when he was born will do.

Today my oldest is 12. I've been a mama for 12 years.

Feeling blessed today that I can still hold my son, that he'll let me if only for a photo.

Had a great day working out, taking him lunch at school and touring the town's flooding river with a girl friend.

This made me smile. I tried to do the same thing with my 10 year old last night. It was quite hilarious. Why do they have to grow so fast!

Lovin' your expression here. It's a mix of amazement, determination, discomfort even, and love.

Cute shot :)

What a cute shot! It's making me realise though that I've been a mamma for 23 years! Oh my goodness. It just flies by! I hope your big boy has a wonderful birthday Amanda!
March 2nd, 2017  
I love your sense of fun and adventure! You're a great mama!

And guess what! Even when he's nearly 30, you'll still wish you could do that! (I know this from experience! How I wish I could do this with my own son and make everything better like I can do with HIS son!!!)
