five months and fourteen days.

That's how old you are today, sweet little girl. Hard to believe in a few short weeks you will be half a year old already. Where is the time going?! I love watching you grow and learn and experiment with the world as you see it from your baby eyes. You are amazing. A few things I'm loving about you right now...

-Your bright, big, blue-grey eyes. Daddy and I definitely thought you'd have brown eyes. I think your great-grandma gave those to you in heaven.

-Your curling finger toes which you love to eat.

-Sitting! You can officially sit up all by yourself. Of course we still have a few fall-over moments.

-How you wrinkle your forehead after you eat and I move you onto my chest for a little cuddle time.

-Your perfectly round baby head.

-Your downy baby hair that's starting to stick up as it grows...reminds me of your auntie's hair as a baby.

-How you sometimes look at me in deep thought and that little mouth moves as if you're about to rattle off a complete sentence.

-The way your whole face lights up when Daddy comes home from work.

-The smile you give me when you wake up and the completely peaceful look on your face as I watch you drift off to sleep.

You are mine, forever. I get to teach you about God and the world and what is right. You changed everything about life for the better. I am in love with being your mama. I love every minute with you.
