Half a year and a lifetime of joy...

I know it sounds cliche but it is so hard to fathom that Leilah is already 6 months old. On one hand, it seems like yesterday that I saw her sweet little face for the very first time and I knew, yet again, love at first sight. On the other hand it seems impossible to imagine life before the joy of her beautiful smile and the completeness that she brings to our family. She is such a little ray of sunshine and simply put we cannot get enough of her. She definitely has eyes for her mommy and thinks her brother is the funniest thing she has ever laid eyes on. As long as she gets in her snuggles and cuddles, she is the most content baby... she makes being adorable seem so easy! Weighing in at 15 lbs 8 oz and 26 3/4 inches long, she falls in 25th-50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for length. Sitting up almost all by herself, scooting around the floor and starting baby food are subtle reminders that she will soon be a little girl... running, dancing, singing and playing. I can only imagine what God has in store for her, but I have no doubt that she will continue to bless the lives of those who know her in her own sweet way. For now, I appreciate each and every moment... embracing the sleep deprivation and the baby attached to my hip as a privilege. A privilege of the all-encompassing gift of motherhood. As soon as I think life cannot get any better... it does!
