Six Months

Six months old.  Six months of sweetness.  How have you been here for only half a year and yet you've filled my heart with a love that seems to have taken a lifetime to discover?  You are precious and delicious and I adore every inch of you.  From the top of your soft brown hair, to those chubby, little feet, I relish every part of you.  Kissing your yummy neck and soft cheeks brings a smile to my face as you giggle in delight, your eyes closed tight as you throw your head back in a fit of laughter.  Your laugh makes me so happy, but then everything about you makes me happy.  Absolutely everything, sweet boy.
You are precocious and active and doing so much these days.  You are crawling like a champ, sitting up like a pro and you can clear a coffee table in three seconds flat.  You already have great use of your hands and you love to grab at anything you see.  You are trying to wave and will wave your whole arm up and down while saying something that sounds a whole lot like, "Hey!"  You love to blow bubbles and constantly make silly noises and sounds. You have already grown bored with baby food and would rather eat a plate of table food just like your big brothers.  We are working on this slowly and I'm asking you to be patient, buddy. You have plenty of time to eat like a big boy, so just let me enjoy feeding you a little longer, sweet baby.  

Will, you love your brothers and watching you watch them fills me with such love and pride. You light up when they walk in the room and you love to watch them play.  Sam makes you happier than anyone and you simply adore him.  You are so lucky to have two such wonderful big brothers and they are equally as lucky to have you. I love how much you love me, sweet boy. Your brothers were crazy about me too, but you are different. You personify a "Mama's Boy,"  and I am so lucky to be on the receiving end of your sweetness. Your love for me is so evident.  You show me through twinkling eyes, a scrunched up nose and a smile that lights up my life.  Thank you for loving me the way you do, my little one.
Will, thank you for six wonderful, priceless months.  Every day with you is perfect and joyful and rewarding.  Happiness.  Pure, perfect happiness.  That is you, son.  You are beautiful and loving and my constant reminder of God's goodness.  Waking up to your face each morning and falling asleep cuddled beside you each night is a gift that I cherish.  You are such a blessing.  Thank you for being mine.  I love you.  To the moon and back.
