6 Months and Growing!

Today, Jameson is 6 months old! Wow! Oh how time flies when you are having FUN! :)  These past 6 months have been so precious and rewarding as I have experienced motherhood with Jameson. I find myself staring at Jameson while he is eating or sleeping and wondering what I did to deserve him.  I never imagined all those days and nights I prayed for God to bless us with a child that he would give us such a precious little boy! Jameson bring such joy into our lives and it would defiantly not be the same without him. I thank God everyday for giving Daniel and I Jameson and trusting us to care to him.  What an amazing responsibly being a parents is!

Jameson has grown and changed so much during the past 6 months.  It's sad that he's not a tiny baby anymore and it brings tears to my eyes when I think about it.  I would love nothing more than to keep him little forever but I know that can't happen.  I do, however, look forward to next 6 months of watching him grow and learn.  I wait in anticipation for that first tooth, the first time he sits up alone, the first time he crawls, and those first steps. My baby is growing up way to fast!!!!
