Today our wonderful daughter, Rayleigh, turned 6 months old!!! What a major milestone! What can I say? She is an absolute blessing, the light of our lives for sure. Every smile she flashes lights up the world. These have been the most trying but most wonderful 6 months of our lives. She has learned so much in the last 6 months and so have we.
She has learned where her hands are and how to use them and how to put them straight into her mouth. She has learned how to make sounds to get what she wants, mostly attention. She has learned how to hold her head up high and how to support her back up. She has learned how to roll over to get out of doing tummy time. She's learning how to sit up on her own. And she has learned that she is the most loved little thing around!
We have learned that we do not need 8 hours of sleep to survive. We have learned that watching TV is overrated. We have learned how to eat dinner in under 15 minutes so at least one of us is finished before she wakes up and wants to be held. We have learned that watching your baby learn to bat at toys can be the most entertaining. We have learned patience is key. We have learned that you can't be out of the house in 5 minutes anymore. We have learned how to pack most efficiently. We have learned that the true sadness is watching your baby hurt. We have learned how to truly love.
Rayleigh, you make this world a better place to be. We are so blessed to be your parents. We love watching you grow and learn new things everyday. We love you more than words can describe. Love, your Dad & Mom.
