standing up

the fact the my little baby is going to be 7 months old on monday is kinda blowing my mind....

where the heck is the time going?

i know i should probably be used to the months feeling like weeks, but each one sneaks up on me way too quickly.

7 months just sounds so old. when i think about a 7 month old i don't picture a tiny baby, yet my sweet boy still feels like my tiny baby. but everyday he grows up right before my eyes. i swear i can already hear him saying "i can do it my self! i'm not a baby!"

his latest thing is standing...

he can't pull up yet and he still hasn't quite figured out that if he lets go he's going to fall, but that boy.. he just ain't happy if he ain't standing these days.

i'm slowly beginning to accept the fact that this is just the beginning (and the smallest act) of him claiming his independence.

watching him become his own person is bittersweet...

its friday! 

i'm linking up again with Lauren for h54f (high five for friday)

1. our anniversary date was so much fun!

2. in the midst of the freezing weather and tornado warnings we had one beautiful day, so we spent it at the park

3. we finally opened the vintage bottle of wine Luke gave us as a wedding gift. it was incredible!

4. Owen had his 6 month well visit. he loved tearing up the paper on the exam table :)

5. i just love how much my brothers adore Owen. he is one lucky dude to have 5 awesome uncles!

i hope your weekend is wonderful! :)

Owen is 6 months old... already?

my sweet baby boy,

when i think about the past six months of my life, i can honestly say they have been the best months of my life thus far. you have brought so much light and joy in to your daddy and my life. each and every new day with you is an adventure and i love rediscovering the world as you discover it for the first time. 

time seems to be flying by so quickly, i sometimes want it to just stop so i can keep you my sweet little baby forever, but at the same time i never want to hold you back and watching you begin to become an independent little man is amazing. 

God blessed me far beyond what i deserve when he gave me you. my promise to you is that i will always try my hardest to be the best mom i can be.

i will always always love you, son. 

no matter what, no matter where, no matter when.

love,

Mama
