6 Months Old

Dear Ainslee,

I can't believe how quickly you are growing up! In just 6 short months you have already learned how to do so much. You have become such a fun, silly, spunky, smiley, and independent little girl. You love to be around people and smile at them, although you currently only want Mommy or Daddy to hold you when you are around a lot of people. You also love animals. You could watch Charley kitty for hours, I even caught you trying to eat him! He is in big trouble when you learn how to walk... Your daddy and I are amazed every time we see you do something new. The other day you just started running full speed when you were in your "walker." Daddy and I stood there with our mouths open, we had no idea you could do that! We also love when you give us big slobbery "kisses." You are such a sweet little girl!

There is a song that is popular right now that always makes me think of you. It says:

Cause you're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

I know that these are some GOOD times, but part of me is so excited to see how much you will change over the next 6 months, year, or 5 years. When I hear this song it just reminds me to savor every moment with you right now. I know you won't stay this little for very long. Your daddy and I love you so much and thank God for the blessing he has given us in you.
