half a year later

my little baby girl turned six months old today. so many people say "where has the time gone?" and while i'm not saying time has not gone by quickly, i think i know the answer to that question.


i have truly enjoyed every moment i have spent with little stella. sometimes the time goes by quickly, sometimes slowly (those times where she did not want to sleep a wink). but as i watch her learn and grow and change and as her personality shines through i realize how much i've enjoyed the changes being made.


of course i miss my little newborn that could curl up in my one arm and wanted to snuggle all day long, but i also love my half-year old baby girl that giggles and smiles and raises her eyebrows and looks at me like she understands what i'm saying. i love my little buddy that goes with me everywhere and experiences new things with me. i love talking to her. i love listening to her. i love who she is becoming.


i've always heard talk about how much you will love your child, but i could never fathom what that meant. now i know it is indescribable. every day my heart breaks with love for her. there is really know way i can explain or even fathom how much love i have for her. my baby. who loves to smile. loves her daddy. loves to be out and about. loves to taste the wind with her tongue. and i think she loves me too =).

so happy six months, sweet girl.
we are so proud of you. we are so captivated and in love with you. so utterly enthralled with you. and to think that our Father looks on us with love even greater than this is beyond me.
