Your Daddy has taken to calling you Lil' Bit. I love it! He started out calling you cupcake. I also loved that but I think Lil' Bit may stick. You are still a little girl. I can't believe it! You have been on this earth for half a year! This time last year I was finally feeling good about letting my heart believe I was going to be a Mom! You scared us a lot at the beginning so I was guarding my heart in case we lost you. I prayed every night and I still pray for you. I give thanks every single day that you are not only here but that you are wonderful!
Half a year old. Wow.
This month I have absolutely fallen in love with your little personality. You are starting to have a little sense of humor. You "tell jokes" by blowing bubbles, screeching or fake sneeze/coughing. You wait to see how we will react. It's hysterical. You are pretty laid back and it takes a lot to get you upset. The most upset you get is if I leave you with someone you don't care to be with. You have to be hours past eating, sleeping and changing before you get too upset. Because you are so laid back there are times I have to stop and remind myself it's eating time. The best part is that you can really go with the flow which is really handy because both your Daddy and I have jobs that require us to be places past a normal kids bed time! I love getting compliments about how well you do in a mostly adult setting.
Just this last week we ate at Cane Rosso in downtown Dallas. It's a hip little spot in town and there were not any other babies. A lady stopped me just before we left to tell me that she couldn't believe that you waited so patiently and just hung out at the table with us. Then a few weeks ago we went to a banquet for BSA Order of the Arrow. It didn't end until almost 10 PM and you were there in your PJ's (I changed you in the middle of the program) just smiling at everyone. Several different moms came up to me to tell me they couldn't believe you were still awake, still smiling and so quiet. I didn't think you were THAT quiet. In fact when it was time for the most important part of the banquet, and quietest, you heard the drums and thought it was time for you to sing. We ducked outside before you could get too loud!!!
You can be VERY loud when you sing. You sing a lot! You sing in the car. The. Whole. Time. Until you fall asleep. It's pretty instant too! I've never heard a kid "sing" the way you do. So long and drawn out. I love it! You are one special girl!
I could gush on and on about you and I know I will. I can't wait to see how your very first Christmas goes!
Love,
Your Mom

Medical Note: At your 6 month check up Dr. Davis decided to get some labs done to check out the cyst on your head. We went to the hospital and 1 hr, 4 nurses and 3 stick and digs later you gave up 5 vials of your precious blood. The nurses remarked what a pretty red it was! Hopefully that's a good sign! Dr. Davis did say that you are one of the healthiest kids he's ever seen. That and he loves your cheeks! Hopefully you will stay a healthy girl!
