Six months!

Clark turned 6 months old on the 10th! It's crazy how fast time flies. I never imagined how much having a baby would redefine love for me. It's hard to describe, but it's almost a palpable feeling. It's like my heart is beating outside of my body now and it's the best feeling in the world!

This boy is loads of fun! He loves playing with anything that is black, metal, shiny, or for big people - things like keys, keyboards, a toothbrush, phones, pots, kitchen utensils, plastic bags, boxes, lids, purse straps; you get the point. He is really strong and always wants to stand up. He's so close to crawling; I'm sure he'll take off sooner than later, but it wouldn't surprise me if he walks first. He rarely sits still or even sits for that matter. He's a little comedian and makes funny faces and noises to get mommy and daddy to laugh. He likes going on walks and being outside. He giggles when we push him on the swing in the park. He loves stuffed animals and tries to talk to them and eat their eyeballs. He responds really well to classical music and his lullaby CD is the only thing that works in the car. He likes to set with Ben at the piano and bang on the keys.

If he's ever fussy it's because he's tired, hungry or needs a new diaper (like most babies). He takes two to three 45 minute naps a day and has a bad habit of only wanting mom to put his Binky in his mouth when he stirs.  Otherwise he's generally a happy little guy. And we love him more than the moon and the sky! I feel so lucky to be his mom!
