Six months old!

It dawned on me in the last couple of weeks that my baby is growing much too quickly. Maybe it's because he's finally sitting up and rolling over, but I feel like time is really getting away from me. It is so much fun to watch him grow and explore the world, but I wish he could stay small just a little longer! His first tooth even broke through this last week! I'm trying to cherish all the times I know won't last forever--the early morning snuggles in Mommy and Daddy's bed when he wakes up at 5; the afternoon naps with Mommy on the weekend; carrying him in the Ergo or Posh Papoose (types of carriers); the never-ending smiles when he wakes in the morning; his "baby bird" imitation when we're feeding him dinner (especially yogurt); and the smiles he always has for his big brother. It's just so hard to explain how much love I feel for him and for his brother. Every moment is precious, and I am so blessed to be their Mommy.

We took Matty for his 6-month photos a couple of weeks ago--they turned out great, and it makes me laugh whenever I see them to remember how much fun he was having.
