Oh Clarky, it is happening...you are entering my absolute favorite baby phase of 6-18 months old. This is the very best stage. Sweet and cuddly, innocent and fun, squishy and giggly...and you are the epitome of a happy baby.
I look back at photos of you over the past 6 months and I just can't grasp how it has gone so quickly. It is hitting me hard that we are half way to your 1 year birthday and it's tugging at my heart so much.
I LOVE YOU more than words can say. You just smile and gaze into my eyes and my heart drops to the floor every time.
You are patient and kind and gentle. You love to snuggle and you still wake up to eat in the middle of the night, and to be honest, as much as I love my sleep, I LOVE this time with you way, way more.
You fall asleep against my chest and I feel your deep sleeping breaths and your warm head under my neck. It is pure heaven. I stay there and hold you for an hour sometimes just trying to soak in the uninterrupted time together, knowing that all too soon you will be running and playing and my moments like this are numbered.
My goal is to cherish these next 6 months until you turn one, to hold onto every moment, to squeeze a little tighter, to hug a little longer. I know how fleeting this will be. It is beautiful, it is lovely and it is once-in-a-lifetime. I love you so, so, so much my sweet baby boy.
xoxo
