yes, this is weird. you are five and a half months old and i have yet to record anything on your blog. i had big dreams of journaling your every day. then life happened.
i got so wrapped up in loving you and learning you, that this commitment got away from me. i thought of it so many times, but had already missed so many days that it was overwhelming to begin. i may have missed your first months, but i don't want to regret missing the days from here on. sooo....we may be getting a late start...but let's do this. :)
i'm not quite sure what this will look like. i guess some days i will write everyday. maybe i'll log on throughout the day with precious little blurps about what you're doing... sometimes once a week...let's hope at least that much! i'm pretty sure it will be chocked full of errors...we all know that i write how i think...a little big of everything, everywhere! regardless, i hope you'll cherish these memories of our little family.
i'll probably post some flashbacks of your first months...here and there. :) but, we'll get caught up at some point! maybe.
you are so wanted and so loved. i hope you always know that! your daddy and i have grown so much over these last months as we have fallen more in love with eachother, with our Lord and with you! we are in awe that you are a little bit of both of us...we joke that we hope you got our "good bits!" :)
right now you are fast asleep in your swing at the foot of our bed. i love that swing and so do you! you take your best naps while swinging. we've spent our day catching up on some photo editing, laundry, paying bills, going to the bank and starbucks, then home to play and nap! we'll probably run to mardel and the post office this afternoon. we're trying to stay on top of everything, as we are anxiously awaiting the call that your first cousin, oak, is on his way! laura was due yesterday and we all can't wait to meet this precious little man who will be your first best-buddy. i know you guys will love each other so much. you will teach him so much, and take good care of him -- i know he will protect and love you through the years. i can hardly wait to you watch you grow up together. come on oak! :)
i am in awe of you and all you are doing! you are so strong and so joyful. i could sit and watch you all day long...sometimes i do. i love that i can. the last few days you have spending lots of time on all fours. it's so fun. you rock back and forth and look up at me and smile - almost like you're making sure i'm watching. i love that smile! you have two bottom teeth...and you don't let me go long without reminding me of them while eating! that's ok...you've been such an incredible eater from day one...i'm not complaining if this is our first "eating issue." i always said i wouldn't start solids until you were six months...but you were so ready! after you cut your first teeth, i decided to try some food! you were SO ready... you love it! we are eating banana, avocado and rice cereal right now. your favorite is rice cereal with banana....i kind of like it, too. i am so happy you are a good eater...i have lots of yummy foods to share with you. i wonder what your favorite will be? if you're anything like me or your daddy, you'll like it all! you roll all over the place and scoot on your tummy. it's amazing how fast you move. you can get where you want to go...usually taking the side-swipe salamander-type approach. it's pretty cute. you are really keeping me on my toes, the days of you laying on the quilt in the sunroom and playing with your toys are long gone. i leave the room, and you leave the quilt. i'm pretty sure you are days away from crawling!! oh, dear...our lives are really about to change! i can't wait...i love to watch you grow and explore...but i just wish it didn't happen so fast. i just can't believe you will be a half a year old in a few weeks. crazy.
you are a true joy in my life. i am crazy about you in every way!
i love you, sarah caroline! what did we do without you? :)
mom
