Can I keep you this little forever?

I look at Logan and think, how did you get so big?  Wasn't it yesterday you were a little baby I could hold in my arms and rock you to sleep?  Fall asleep on my chest and listen to you breath in and out? 
He isn't, he is a big boy. 
Independent.  Stubborn.  Tantrums.  *Sigh*
But there are those moments.  The ones where I think to myself, can I keep you this little forever? 
Last night, he was taking a shower with Daddy (yes, he takes showers now! Not every night but sometimes he wants to.) I got him out and wrapped him up in a towel and carried him to his room to change him.  His towel, not covering most of him (he needs some bigger towels!) and when I laid him on the changing table, he is so big, he hangs off.  How can this be?! It was only 2 years ago that the towel was so big and he was so little on the changing table. 
After bath, we watched a movie and he got under the blanket with me and let me hold him in the rocking chair.  This rarely happens! I took it all in.  His scent.  I would like to bottle it up and keep it for always. 
One day, he won't fit in my lap, or he won't want to.  One day, he won't be using baby shampoo.  One day those little feet, will be big.  He will be big and grown up. 
But oh these moments.  I love every minute of them. 
After the movie, we told him it was time for bed.  He got down from the rocking chair and turned to me, grabbed my face and gave me the longest kiss ever.  Be. still. my. heart. 
I love that boy more than words can even say.
