Happy 6 Months!

Dear Erin,
You are 6 months old today - 6 months! I cannot believe it. Like every other parent, I wonder where the time has gone and I marvel at how big you are getting. You are more and more interactive, and you are so fun to be with - unless you are tired or hungry, but honestly I can't blame you. I love getting to be at home with you, and watch you laugh, smile and grow! Some pictures from the month...

You love to read books! You're so advanced...you seem to be a little more interested in eating them at this point, but that's ok.

 

I love how you delight in the simplest things - like the sun coming through the window. Your eyes are still as blue as ever...

 You started eating solid foods - it's been pretty entertaining watching you. You didn't like your high chair at first...

 ...but after sitting in Daddy's lap, all was better. 

 Uncle Toby, Aunt Yvette and Elyse visited. You loved being held by Aunt Yvette, and laughing at Uncle Toby.

 I love this picture of you with Elyse. This was the first time you were really interested in her cousin...I can't wait until you are old enough to play together!

 You also got a visit from Uncle Sam, who brought you a friend named Humphrey. You didn't quite know what to do with him at first...

 I love how you are looking up at your uncle in this picture!

 You hung out with your friends...here's you and Banner. I think you guys called each other to find out what the other was wearing that day so you could coordinate. 

 You love to spend time with your Daddy in the mornings. He is usually the first one to get you when you wake up, and you love sitting with him while he reads. I adore this picture...

 Humphrey inspired a new theme for your monthly pictures...however, I learned that getting a picture of both of you was more challenging than I expected.

We love you so much, Erin. We thank God that He chose us to be your mom and dad. Sometimes I am overwhelmed at the responsibility the Lord has given, but I am quickly comforted to remember that He loves you so much more than we do, and we can trust Him in all things. Happy 6 months, Peanut!!

Love,

Daddy and Mommy
