6 months!

I cannot believe that 6 months with my baby have gone by already!  I still feel like it is brand new, and his infancy is half over!  As much as it scares me that time is moving so quickly (and with that comes so many unknown events), every month comes with new adventures and milestones.  We are still waiting for Parker to really enjoy eating...right now, the spoon confuses him and the tastes startle him.  He is able to hold his head up, look around, giggle, squeal, and cry because he is not being held.  He is so beautiful, and every day forces me to wake up stronger so I can be his advocate.  

This next month of his life will hold so many new experiences.  First summer with mommy is obviously one of my favorites, but I am also excited for his first time in a pool (get it together, Chicago!), his first trip to New Jersey, meeting his Grandpop Cucchiaro, seeing his cousins, and playing with friends.  I am nervous about his next round of evaluations, his vision, and the uncertainty of our house hunting.  In June, I will also be taking a trip to Georgia to spend time with some of my best friends celebrating Meg and Jace's wedding in July.  It will be my first time away from from Parker overnight....and it will be three nights to be exact.  I am extremely nervous about being away from him, but I know I will have a blast once I get there.  I keep telling myself that it is really only two days of not being with him.

I am so excited for what the next 6 months have in store for us, and know full well that this time in our lives is ever-changing and thrilling.
