"Googer"

Since Trent was a little baby, I have always called him my little "googie". When he was a little over 1 year old, he used to sit in my lap and I would say, "you are my little googie-baby" and he would say, (in the sweetest, baby voice) "uh-uh". It was always the sweetest little response. Well, "googie" has evolved to "googer". I have no idea why. I am just a nick-name kind of person. Well, googer is approaching his 4th birthday and every day I can't believe how big my baby is getting. Being well past the baby stage is awesome and freeing, but I do love to reflect back on those special days when Trent was just a little googie.

Every night, I lay in bed with Trent for a few minutes while he drinks some juice. As soon as he's done, he hands me his cup and says, "one more mimmet?" He's asking me to sit with him for "one more minute". It is the sweetest thing and I love that he still needs to be babied every once in awhile. He is growing up fast and I'm thankful for every extra "mimmet" I have with all my kids.
