6 Months

J,

I cannot believe you are 6 months old today!  You are growing so fast, I just want to be able to stop time for a little bit, but I am just savoring every moment I have with you.  You have begun to squeal.  It is so funny!  As I put you to bed tonight, you woke up and just laid there.  I went out of the room for a few minutes, and as Daddy was getting ready to lay E down, we heard this awful squeal coming from your room!  I opened the door to check on you, and you jerked your head up and turned to towards me with this huge smile on your face.  You smile just melts my heart!  I picked you up, fed you, and then we laid down together.  While I was holding you, you started squealing again.  I would look away, and when I would look back, you would squeal.  It was hilarious!  Daddy and I just laughed.

You have started sitting up...in the past week, you have been sitting for longer periods of time.  Daddy and I love to watch you play and interact with your brother.  You just adore E and laugh and smile at him all the time, and likewise, he adores you.

Sweet boy, I love watching you grow, and you bring me so much joy that I cannot describe.  You are loved beyond words.  As we are preparing to celebrate Christmas in the coming days, I am thanking God for giving you to me.

Love,
Mommy
