6 months

That's how old my baby boy is today. How has half a year gone by already? Half of his FIRST year? I know it seems to go by quicker with each additional child, but nobody told me it would happen in the blink of an eye. As I was going through pictures to put with this post, I was amazed at how much he's changed. How does somebody change so much in what is honestly such a short amount of time?

I am amazed at how lucky we got with him. After all, the girls were pretty easy babies. But he is always so happy. Nothing makes him smile bigger than simply being talked to. Or seeing me, which of course makes me happy. And even though the time has gone much too quickly, I can't believe how seemlessly he's fit into our family, as if he's always been here.

I didn't know I wanted a boy. And I'm pretty sure if you had asked me a year ago, I would have told you I wanted another girl. I love my girls like no other, they are my heart and soul. But now I know - I was meant to be a mother to a son.
