6 months of you!
Half to your first birthday. It feels surreal how quickly the time has gone by. I want time to stand still. Chasing time is like chasing the end of a rainbow, I see it in sight but never reach it. I blink and you have grown again.
Your hungry eager eyes always scan the room, observing, taking in the faces in the room. The way your face breaks into the sweetest smile when your eyes set on the face that you are searching for.
You are sitting so beautifully and are often adamant to be carried around that you stiffen your body not to sit down. I love the way your chubby hand wraps around my arm as I carry you around the house. Adriana loves you so dearly and often carries you around the house. You giggle and “squeak” with glee as she dances with you.
Papa says that we must extend your cot as you are outgrowing the first stage. In doing so, it only pulls at my heartstrings on how fast you are growing.
You celebrated your first Easter this month as we all wore matching pjs.
I did stare at your drawer of clothing and thought that I had the heart to take out the outgrown onesies. Yet as I pulled out the items one by one, I remembered how tiny you were when we brought you home.
Now the jet black hair has lightened at the roots and curled and curled.
I have to laugh at the way you soothe yourself to sleep. Your chubby hand grabs my cheek and squeezes it until you fall into dreamland with your dummy hanging off your bottom lip.
You are a little Angel sent down from heaven.
I love you.
Mama
