you are so big now
i can't believe how much you've grown
here you are looking at me through a plastic cup
smiling and cooing
coaxing me to notice you
i guess somehow you instinctivley know
how easy it is to live moment by moment
and not notice the details
or how is it
that you have become so unique
such a new and different person
looking at me through lenses
to see me clearly?
to see me better?
to show me how to see you?

time is out of my grasp
and you are the reason i know this
