Six Months Old



My baby has reached the half year mark and I have to say that I am already missing his babyhood. He seems like a kid already--no more cuddly little ball. Grabbing, sitting, crying, eating, and lots and lots of toys are the name of the game for six month olds.

Ten Things I never want to forget about Jackson:

1. He'll lay on my bed with his arms around my neck and gaze into my eyes.
2. He thinks Alisa is hilarious.
3. He smiles, and smiles, and smiles.
4. He hasn't disliked any food yet. (Even that rice cereal which Alisa tried and almost threw-up)
5. When he falls asleep in my arms, I have the strongest urge to kiss his angelic face. . . but I don't because I know it will wake him up.
6. How easily he falls asleep (except when he's sick or teething or constipated or overtired or in a strange place.)
7. Sometimes, especially when he is asleep in my arms, I just don't want to put him down even though I know I should. Let me cradle him just a bit longer.
8. He gets really excited when Dad comes home from work.
9. He gets constant love from his brother and sister.
10. He loves his mama!

I think he is the happiest baby ever and soooo cute! I know what you mean, they just grow so fast. I miss those 'baby moments' all the time, but not enough to have another one :)

They are all so cute, but seriously...jackson's thighs! I love them, I want to squeeze them, too cute! I have how fast that whole "tiny" baby stage goes. Doesn't always seem like when you're in it, you can't wait to be out of it, but then when its over, you wish you could rewind?
