My handsome little baby, you are 6 months old today! I can hardly believe that it has been 6 whole months since you made your 10 day early arrival into this world. You have changed so much in these past few months. When I first saw you I thought your precious little face looked exactly like your Daddy's, which just made my heart smile. I love your Daddy so much and I am so thankful for him in our lives. He loves you more than anything else and to watch his face light up and your face light up when you see each other, almost makes your Mama cry.
Lately I've seen more of me in your face, not to mention your funny little banana toes that are just like mine :). I love that you have truly become a combination of me and your Daddy. I hope you continue to take the best qualities from each of us, along with your own sweet personality, to become the little man we are already so in love with.
You had a big day today! Wearing overalls for the first time and going to the Central Christian Church nursery for the first time; big stuff for a big guy!
When you wake up each morning and greet me with big smiles and laughs as I change your diaper, I know you are truly a gift from God. I feel so lucky to be your Mama. I know you love me when you hold on so tight while you're nursing. I know you love me when you shimmy over to be closer to me while we're laying in bed. I know you love me when you smile at the sound of my voice. I know you love me when you reach your arms up in the air for me to pick you up when I get home from work. And I know you love me when you nuzzle deep into my neck when you're sleepy.
And I want you to know that I will always love you baby boy. I love you when you laugh at my silly noises. I love you when you spit sweet potatoes on my white t-shirt. I love you when you try to crawl toward me. I love you when you're fussy right before you fall asleep. I love you when you suck on my finger, my cheek, and my shoulder trying to get even a drop of milk out. I love you while I'm changing your drooly onesies and poopy diapers to make you feel all clean. And I love you while I'm just staring at your gorgeous face and touching your soft, perfect skin while you sleep.
You are the love of your Mama and Daddy's life. We can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring for our family. Happy 6 month birthday little bug!
Love,
Your Mama
