Connor is 6 months old!

Wow...where has that time gone? Sloooow down! Time is moving so fast and our baby boy is 6 months old! LOVE this age-he is full of smiles...all day long. He loves his big sister and laughs when you tickle him...he sits up on his own...and grabs at toys...he eats babyfood(loves peas and sweet potatoes)...still only naps in the carseat or stroller (despite my best efforts)...and still wakes up twice a night...loves to be held all.day.long...

6 months is such a fun age...still that adorable and innocent baby, but interacting with us so much more each day...

Here are the 6 month stats:

2 teeth on bottom
20 lbs 3 oz!! 95th percentile
26 1/4 inches-75th percentile for height
Didn't even cry when he got his 2 shots at the dr.!

WE LOVE YOU, CONNOR DAVID!! Can't wait for the next 6 months with you!

Before I was a mom...

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.
