Happy 6 months!

My baby is 6 months old today. Look at that face, sweet potatoes and all! Isn't he the cutest?

 We went to Pimlico for a little picnic in the sun with him, and we still couldn't get a good family phot. Here's a semi-decent one on the right.

He had his 6 month shots yesterday and let me tell you how proud I am of him. He cried when they stuck him and 15 seconds later, no more tears!

He's growing way too fast, reminds me of this song by Lonestar on my shower CD:

Let them be little - Lonestar

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please

Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It's time to let them go

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

Let them be little

Mommy and daddy love you more than they could ever imagine, little one. Grow and spread your wings, don't ever be afraid of anything. Be curious about the world around you, be respectful of the nature you co-exist with and very cognizant of the life you interact with. But, always, always be your own self, in everything you do. Don't let anything or anyone hold you back from that. We'll be here to hold you up and catch you if you fall. And, be patient with your parents, we are doing this for the first time and we'll probably make mistakes but remember that whatever we do, we do with your best interests in mind.,

We love you more than we could have ever imagined!
