Six months

Happy half birthday, little Penny Pot! Maybe when you're older we'll pretend we never sang "Penny Pothead, and i don't care" to the tune of "Jimmy Crack Corn" (although i guarantee you we will care a lot about you actually being a pothead)....  

Anyway. Your smile makes me so glad I had you. You love it when we kiss your fluffy, so-kissable checks. You laugh at almost everything your sister does and already you're friends. (Today she gave you April, her doll, when you were crying. That shows how deeply she likes you!) 

You're so eager to get everywhere and grab everything. It's fun to watch, but i also need to keep a close eye on you and clear a wide swath around you. You're growing up fast. I'm glad about that, and looking forward to discovering what life after the first six months of a baby is like when I'm not pregnant, but i do kind of see what people mean when they say i'll miss this. But there is so much fun ahead for us!
