My Little Valentine is Six Months Old

Marshall is six months old today! I can't believe he is already 6 months, the time really does fly. Strangers have come to us and said, "Enjoy this time. They grow up so quickly." When he was a newborn I was so tired and thought, I just can't wait for him to sleep through the night. Then he did, and I thought, I just can't wait for him to sit up on his own. Now, I want to slow this whole thing down. Looking back, I would have enjoyed the quiet time we spent together in the rocking chair at 1a.m. and 4a.m. a little more. I probably would have lingered a little longer, kissed a few extra kisses, snuggled a few extra snuggles and not been in such a rush to get back to my bed. A friend recently told me, "the days are long but the years are short." There is such truth in that statement. While I can't slow down time, I can slow down and enjoy the time, even though it truly does go so quickly.

Marshall is currently...
*smiling and laughing all the time
*eating solid food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and some milk before bed) (peas are his favorite food)
*sleeps 7:00-7:00 (he wakes up SO happy)
*napping two times a day, about two hours each nap
*attempting to crawl (we have caught him up on his knees a bunch, he just needs to start pushing himself forward)
*loving to take walks (we do this about three times a day, he loves to be outside)

My baby is getting to be such a big boy.

We love you Marshall Man! Of course we celebrated with a photo shoot. Enjoy!





Who's six months? Yep, this turkey is six months!
