Six Months

Dearest Braedyn,

Today marks your 6 month birthday. Honestly, I cannot believe you are 1/2 a year old. In the last 6 months you have gone from waking up every 2 hours to sleeping 12 hours straight (on most nights). You have gone from eating breast milk, to soy formula, to oatmeal, and now fruits and veggies. You have gone from wanting me to hold you 24/7 to wanting to play on your playmate and exersaucer and entertaining yourself (though you do get the occasional where is mommy is she looking at me cry). You have gone from this blob who didn't move at all to this little wiggle worm. You were this little peanut who fit in the palm of her daddy's hand and are now this long string bean. You're so long you're wearing 9 month clothes! Today you even decided to go from front to back twice and from back to front! You are changing right before my very eyes, everyday there is more hair growing on your head, eyebrows and eyelashes growing in. You just smile and laugh and sometimes cry, and everyone says they can't believe how beautiful and how good you are. And guess what? They're right!!

Braedyn it's hard to believe that a year ago I was just telling people I was having you and now you're here (actually you've been here for 6 months). This is the hardest job I have ever had to do, however it's been the most fun and rewarding. I cannot wait to see what's in store for these next 6 months. You truly are an amazing baby and I am so blessed that you came into my life.

Love,
Mommy
