This year has been the fastest flying year ever! We cannot believe that the little one we raced through states to meet 6 months ago is a very active, happy, noisy, mobile little guy who fills us with joy each day.
I am so blessed.
Because I have been blessed with awesome friends who take amazing pictures of my kiddos, and because I got a new CD of David’s 6 month pictures I couldn’t wait to share how our little guy has grown!
At 6 months:
he is teething (quite peacefully, however) In fact, his first tooth popped through today!
He is getting more mobile by the moment. Today he took his rocking on hands and knees to a new level. Now he gets on his hands and knees and throws himself forward. He can get anywhere he wants to go!
He is eating new foods all the time and is a great eater (except for Bananas. I won’t make that mistake again!!)
This boy can jump!! His favorite seat is in his jumperoo where he works out those leg muscles.
He still likes to snuggle mommy and be worn when we are on the go. My favorite time is when he rubs my face and talks to me while he is in his front carrier. What precious little hands.
He has lots of friends of all ages who he is very excited to see. There never seems to be a lack of arms to hold him!
We are counting down the days to his adoption being finalized right before Christmas!! Can’t wait until it is all official!

Last night Abby and I went on a date to see Taylor Swift. I don’t take time often enough to be completely alone for something special with Abby and I am thrilled that we got to do this together.
This concert has been a long time in the making. It was last February that the tickets went on sale for this concert. Her original concert was in the beginning of July and was canceled when she got sick. They rescheduled for last night. Back in July, it seemed as though November 16th would never come, but time flies… Brenden managed to score some amazing seats. We had no idea how good they were until we were sitting at the concert and overheard that Taylor would be coming to the sound booth area (right where we were sitting) to sing some songs. Oh what a treat! We ended up being 8 feet from where she was singing!
I have been to my fair share of concerts. I have seen some pretty big name people. I have never seen anything like this show that was put on last night. From fireworks to confetti, several stage changes to multiple outfits, every detail was thought through and executed amazingly. This has ruined normal concerts forever.
My girl – there is no one I would have rather shared last night with than you. I loved watching you awestruck, listening to you sing your heart out (I could have passed on some of that screaming though – although it was apparently not quite enough, since you still have a little voice today), enjoying every bit of last night. It was like living a fairy tale. And being with you was the best part. (Danny Gokey as an opener was second.

For colorful leaves that fall
For Grandparents who rake them into enormous piles
For healthy children who can run, jump and play…

So thankful for rainy days
and concentrated schoolwork
reading on the couch, all snuggled up
and teamwork between the grades.

For a soft bed to sleep in,
5 children who sleep all night in their own beds,
and a cup of coffee with yummy creamer in the morning -
You have no idea how grateful I am!

I love the sound of music that fills our home…
And the children who work together to learn new songs.

For grandparents who love spending time with the Fab 5, who help with the schooling process, who take walks slowly, examine bugs, read the same books over and over, built treehouses and create crazy concoctions like animal cracker and kool-aid soup…
We are grateful
