Happy Half Birthday Baby!

I can't even believe that I'm writing this.

Today my little angel is 6 months old.

Just a little recap.

Here is the last picture taken of me, January 19th, the day before I had her.


Here is our first picture taken of us.


Here she is 6 months later.








Madeline Renee.
July 20th, 2009--6 months old.
19lbs 9oz. 26 3/4 inches.

At 6 months old:

*She is sitting on her own.
*She is rolling whenever set down.
*She reaches for anything in her grasp and automatically puts it in her mouth.
*She pulls the cross off the wall when laying on her changing table.
*She thinks the word 'purple' is hysterical.
*She loves the dogs and watches them in fascination.
*She pulls herself up into standing position.
*She kisses her babydoll.
*She waves, a little arm flailing wave to mimick the person waving at her.
*She babbles consistently, to anyone who will listen.
*She likes the sound of fingers snapping.
*She loves 'raspberries' on her belly and things tickling her face.
*She adores the outdoors, loves to sit in the grass and holds tight in the swimming pool.
*She is our entire world.

MY DEAR CHILD.
You are the poem
I dreamed of writing
the masterpiece
I longed to paint.
You are the shining star
I reached for In my
ever hopeful quest
for life fulfilled..
You are my child.
Now with all things
I am blessed.
