Standing up!

Liam,
You started pulling yourself up about a week ago. I really can't believe it. It's like you turned six months old and then decided that you're a big boy now! I caught you pulled up along the side of your crib. Later in the week you pulled up along the coffee table, and due to me videotaping it rather than making sure you didn't fall... you fell and bumped your chin on the table. You cried for a few seconds and then were ready to go again! You're also trying really hard to crawl. You can move all over the floor, even if the movement isn't all true crawling. Your growth amazes me everyday. I swear that you look different every time I look at you.

Last week, I took Thursday and Friday off from work (between the end of one job and the start of a new one). On Thursday, I picked up your six month pictures. They were fabulous. You're so smiley and happy. People always remark about how happy you look in pictures. You really are the happiest baby ever. On Friday, you and I spent the day together. It was like old times. How I miss those 12 weeks of maternity leave... I wish I could be home with you everyday, but I know that you're having fun at "school" (daycare).

I love you, lil' peanut.
Mommy
