{Six Months}

Six months ago today

this sweet little boy was placed in my arms

for the very first time.

And oh, how I loved him!

From that first moment I saw him, I loved him.

In an instant he became my son, my very own, a part of my heart.

These last six months have been so many things:

amazing

wonderful

overwhelming

joyful

challenging

Watching our little boy grow

is like unwrapping a new gift

every single day.

We have treasured every moment

and are so grateful for

six months

of hugs...

Six months of becoming the ones he reaches for...

Six months of dressing up for special occasions

(like being dedicated at church)...

...and dressing down

(for the pool!)

Six months of laughter...so much laughter!

At first it seemed like the journey was over;

We had arrived - we were parents at last!

But as the days go on, we learn the truth...

...the true journey was just beginning!
