month 6: reflections

Mason,

Happy half birthday! And Happy St. Patrick's Day--what a fun day to have as your half birthday. We weren't very festive this year, though. We didn't even dress you in green.

We blinked, and this past month was over. As a result of our busyness, we have few pictures and few reflections, but we'll do the best we can to keep this monthly tradition alive.

You got caught watching TV a couple times. (Mommy doesn't watch TV, so that's clearly Daddy's influence, as evidenced below.)


You helped Mommy try to repair our wreck of a yard and gear up for spring planting season. You also learned how to jump on our laps and in the exersaucer.


You stuck your toes in your mouth.


We started working with you on sitting up. You still have a ways to go, but you're making progress.


You didn't hit any major developmental milestones this month, but we did make a huge family decision: Mommy is quitting her job to stay home with you, at least for the short term. If you've ever wondered how much you've changed our lives, sweet Mason, this act should tell you. Before you arrived, we never considered making such sacrifices. Now that you're here, we can't imagine or embrace any other option for our little family.

You're pretty special, Cupcake. And we love you, love you, love you. Happy six months!

Mommy and Daddy
