This past Sunday, James, Emmett and I went to Shawn and Sara's to babysit one-month old Ben while they went out for a lunch date, and it seemed like such a flash back. I also realized how much easier it is to look after a one-month old than it is a 10-month old. My gosh! It's crazy to think about how our lives have evolved in 10 months.
