six months

Yesterday was a baby milestone: William is now 6 months old.

And I’m sort of typing this as quickly as possible so I can not really think about it. Because I’m a little bit sad about him being that old. About Jameson being 5 months away from turning 3. About all of it. A little bit frustrated that I have to clean the kitchen while my baby is growing up. Why can’t we just snuggle forever?

*sigh*

I remind myself: They were born to be men. The fact that I have them as sweet babies for even a short time is a privilege.

Yes, sunny days have come to Northern California, which can mean only one thing: lots of pictures!

saying “cheese!” in the wrong direction. (i love it!!)

they love each other.

the ride home.

William has two teeth.

…which you can’t see in any of these pictures. I just wrote that so I’d have it recorded somewhere that his first tooth came in on the 10th, the second on the 12th.

chubby.

still chubby.

what he actually looks like most of the time.

this one’s for the feet. i love those chubby toes!!

Tonight we were out to eat, just Ry, William, and me. In the middle of a busy, colorful new restaurant, William sat on Ryan’s lap and just stared at me as I ate. With the hint of a smile on his lips. And absolute love in his eyes.

My little baby loves me.

The other best part of the night?

When Ryan said, on our way home, “You’re my best friend.”

I’m so blessed. Thanks, God.
