sutton smith six months.

my precious precious boy. 

six months. 

six months of the sweetest gift. 

DREAMED of another little boy

after your big brother went to heaven

and i feel like we just got all 

GOOD when we got you. 

cannot explain what it does to 

your mommas heart 

when you smile at me like you do. 

those sparkling eyes, 

the big gummy half smile. 

it's too much. :)

you have the sweetest personality.

even when you're fussy because

your mouth is so sore from teething,

you smile so BIG when someone

makes eye contact with you. 

you're "talking" so much. 

you make the same noises over and over. 

and you are SURE 

that we understand you. :)

if there's another girl you love as

much as momma, it's your sis.

you STARE at her until she looks at you

and you can't contain your 

excitement when she does. 

she's been playing so good with you

now that your bigger and more interactive. 

you've got the tripod sit nailed

and getting better at controlling it. 

you get up on all fours, 

rock back and forth and then lunge

forward and then again

until you get to your destination.

i purposely lay on the floor away from you because i LOVE to watch 

you work your way over. 

yesterday you finally made it to me

cheek to cheek and 

you just kind of

sighed a big sigh of accomplishment.

it was so cute!!

i LEFT YOU for 2 days with daddy

while willow and i flew to pennsylvania 

to visit our precious grandma radaker. 

you did so good and 

when we got home 

you just stared at me. :)

you're drinking 6 oz every three hours

during the day but i think you're

about ready to be bumped up. 

you've been going to bed at 7

and usually don't wake up 

to eat until the next morning! finally. ;)

i'm not really pushing the solids 

but you loved sweet potato tonight.

i smooshed one up and you and willow

each ate half. 

you get bored quickly because 

you want to be up but 

can't quite do it yourself 

so it's been tricky trying 

to get things done but i know 

this phase will pass quickly. 

you do love your bouncy seat

that hangs from the doorframe 

so i put you in that while 

I'm working in the kitchen. 

we love you and adore you 

SO MUCH precious boy.
