Happy 6 months!

You turned 6 months old today. The time is flying. Looking back at your birthday, I still chuckle. And probably tell anyone who ever looks at you and says, "woah, he's huge"! I always respond with, "he weighed almost 11 pounds when he was born"! You will be hearing about this for the r e s t         o f y o u r l i f e! Those 24+ hours were hellacious. I remember telling your dad to tell everyone to leave the room and walking into the bathroom and loosing it. Crying because I was tired of being in labor and nothing was happening. Just like magic, daddy snapped his fingers, G-paw made a little scene, and the nurses popped my water. It wasn't long after that I was pushing and had a nurse on top of me assisting with pushing you out. They laid you on my chest and you just looked at me. Not crying, just looking at me. And you felt huge. That feeling was comfirmed when the doctor told us you weighed a whopping 10 pounds and 13.6 ounces. Telling this story will never get old for me, but for you it will, I am sure.

You love splashing
You are trying to pull yourself up
You love finger snacks and don't like eating much else yet
You are trying to talk
You find your sister funnier than anyone else
You hate your car seat
You LOVE bella
I sing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" every night and you fall asleep before I can finish the song


You bring so much joy into our lives. From just two weeks old, you've smiled and laughed more than any baby I have ever known. Your best tickle spot is your neck. And your giggles are what turn my moods around quicker than a snap! Just the other day, I put some spinach cheetos on your high chair and you picked one up with your thumb and index finger and took a bite and I about lost it. It was so CUTE but so unfair. I wish time would slow down. I am enjoying every moment of watching you grow up. You have recently starting blabbing, I wouldn't call it talking. You get frustrated when someone takes anything from you and anytime you don't have our attention, you make it known that you want it! You adore anything big sis does. Especially when she jumps up and down making silly noises. It cracks you up! Who knew, at the age of 23, I would be a mama to a sweet little boy and almost 4 year old little girl. I thank God for the two of you every day. I am so thankful for how blessed I am. You are always happy, always smiling, always into something. The sweetest little boy on the PLANET. Mommy loves you, and I look forward to every day to come.

You are precious in every way. The sunshine in my day; the joy in my soul. And the love of my life.

I'll love you forever, and always...always. My baby you'll be.
Love, mom.
