Joanna Gaines‘ son Crew is a mamma’s boy!
In a sweet Instagram message on Tuesday, the mother of five revealed that her infant son is already speaking, and saying one word in particular: “Mama.”
“Crew is already six months old and saying ‘mama,’ ” Joanna, 40, wrote, before teasing her husband (andFixer Uppercostar) Chip Gaines — with whom she shares Crew, sonsDuke, 9½, andDrake, 13, and daughtersEmmie Kay, 8½, andElla Rose, 12. “I had to throw that in there, sorry Chip!”
Joanna’s note came attached to an adorable photo of Crew sitting on her lap, holding her hand.
Though endearing, Joanna explained that Crew’s latest milestone — and others her kids have been having — struck up different feelings in her. “It’s always been my nature to reflect on the past and linger there a while. I find myself thinking about what I will miss and how life is just moving too fast,” she reflected. “Drake will be driving in two years and off to college in four. And just like that I have found myself mourning the past but now in future tense.”
“You see what I just did there?” she added. “This whole time thing can feel like a thief if you let it.”
From there, Joanna went on to lay out her goals for 2019.
“I want to enjoy the now because it’s the only thing we can actually embrace,” she said. “I want to hold it carefully. Hold it thoughtfully. I want to rid myself of the little distractions because I have found that these are the thieves that steal our moments and rob our days. But time, time is our most precious gift.”
This being Crew’s first Christmas, Joanna made sure to make the holiday special — including giving the sweet boy his own special visit with St. Nick.
“I thought about every possible room it could go in, and the only place where there was an open spot was the master bedroom,” Joanna wrote on herMagnolia blogin December. “In years past, I would have never thought to put a Christmas tree this adorned in my bedroom, but given the circumstances, it played out just the way it was supposed to.”
“The other night,I was holding Crew and hiseyes were glued to the lit tree — he just wouldn’t look away,” she recalled. “Watching him grow up celebrating Christmas and taking part in our family traditions this year, and every year after, is going to be so special.”
