Half Birthday!

I cannot believe that our little one is already 6 months old! He continues to make us laugh everyday. We love watching him discover and learn how to do new things. He's learning so fast! In fact, he's found his crawling position ... so it's just a matter of time before he starts moving!

He's also going through a Mommy Phase right now. Which, I admit can be exhausting, but I've never felt so loved! He thinks I can fix anything ~ just by holding him. He really is Mommy's Sweet Boy.

Here are Barrett's 6 month pictures:

Things I Don't Want to Forget:

• the way he finally can take a nap without screaming first. A little Twinkle Twinkle goes a LONG way!
• the way his face lights up when he sees Mommy or Daddy
• how excited I am that he's about to lean how to crawl (knowing that my whole world is about to change here pretty soon!)
• the way he makes a "umph" sound once the finds his spoon finally
• singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" stops his crying 99.9% of the time (and that's the ONLY song that works)
• how he will stop EVERYTHING that he is doing to watch a car go by
• the squeal he makes when he gets really excited or wants something
• the way he kicks his legs with excitement when he sees his bottle
• the way he wants to know what everything is, how it works, and where it's going
• the way it feels when he falls asleep on me at bedtime

We love you so much Little Barrett. You have change our lives and our hearts in ways that we never could have imagined. You are such a precious gift, and I thank God every night when I'm putting you to bed for the privilege of being YOUR Mommy.

In fact, we love you so much ...

we're going to take you with us to our new house!
