Please slow down.

You are 6 months old today.  I can hardly believe it.  I think I have to say it again so it really sinks in, you’re 6 months old today.  Time has gone so fast but I also can’t picture our lives without you in it.  You are the happiest baby, I know this not only because you’re the third one I’ve raised, but also because everyone tells me so.  You sit so happily at everyone’s doctor’s appointments (and we’ve had a lot of those this year) and so contentedly as we run errands.  You still love your feet.  We’ve had socks or booties on but every time those piggies are free you go right for them.  You seem to be teething a bit – having woken up with that hallmark red cheek rash recently.  Although no teeth have broken through yet.  You’re interested in everything.  And it all goes straight to your mouth.  And can we talk about your little cheek dimple?  It’s right outside your smile line on your left side – we get to see it every time you flash us one of your huge toothless grins.  You coo and babble all the time – it’s adorable.  I almost don’t want you to learn how to talk!  You’ve started belly sleeping a little bit at night but you always cry a bit when you first land that way and when you wake up during a sleep cycle to find yourself still on your belly.  I know you’ll figure out how to roll yourself over soon.  You light up our whole house with your bubbly presence and I hope your brothers always adore you as much as they do right now.
