The Hardest Thing

These long 10 hour days at work are really getting to me lately. Wyatt is changing so fast, every single day he is doing something new! And I want so badly to be able to be home with him.

He is now crawling, belly up off the floor arms and legs working together crawling. It's amazing to have watched him figure it out all on his own.

And on Wednesday I walked into his room to find he had pulled himself up onto his knees using the rails of his crib. Time to drop the mattress so I don't run in to find a screaming baby in the middle of "nap time".

Plus I noticed that he can go from tummy to sitting and back now.

I hardly even recognize him in his newborn pictures anymore, he is such a different kid now. He looks like a little boy, even acts like a little boy sometimes. Like when he started to pitch a tiny fit in Target the other day when I took away the shopping list he was trying to ingest.

It's amazing how he is changing and more than anything I just want to be there for it. He's going to have so much time to be independent and on his own at school as he gets older, I wish so badly I could be around more for this part of things. Before he starts telling me I'm not cool (which I'm not so that's fine) and that I'm embarrassing him (which I plan to so that's alright too). It feels like I miss so much being apart from him all these hours. And it doesn't help knowing that I have to do this to make sure we have food and a nice place to live.

I miss Wyatt. All the time. And I wish things could be different.
