Happy 6 Months Sweetie

My Dearest Little Boy,

Tomorrow you are going to be six months old.  SIX MONTHS OLD.  How has this happened already?

Each day that we spend together, playing, laughing, reading and so on is so special to me.  You’re growing so fast that I already feel like you are more of a little boy than a baby.

So quickly you’ve gone from this:

To this:

Just this last month, it seems like you’ve been growing like crazy, both mentally and physically.  All of a sudden you’ve found your hands and “piggies” and know how to control both of them so well.  Maybe a little too well, in fact.  I’ve had quite a few great laughs over the past weeks watching you lay in your little chair, sucking your thumb and playing the music on your toy with your toes.  It’s like you’ve been doing it forever.

I knew I’d have to soon “baby-proof” the house, but I didn’t realize that it would pretty much happen over night.  Within a week you mastered rolling over, both from front-to-back and back-to-front.  Which is wonderful.  However, you’ve also mastered rolling across the floor very quickly to get to where you want to be.  I guess I had thought that type of moving wouldn’t come until you were crawling.  Boy, you just keep teaching me new things.

I’m here my dear boy, rooting you on everyday.  The way you’re developing makes me feel so proud and when you flash the “Did you see what I just did?” smile my way, my heart almost bursts.

I’m learning to cherish every moment, and live in the now.  It’s something I wasn’t so great with before, but if I don’t, I’m going to miss things.  And right now, the most important thing to me is the memories that we’re making.  Together.

Happy Six Months Sweatheart.  I love you always,

Mummy  xoxo
