For half of a year
you have been in our life.
For 6 entire months
I have been a mother.

For 26 weeks
you have taught us about love.
For 182 days
I have been kissing your cheeks.
For 4,383 hours
your daddy has doted over you.
For 248,850 absolutely precious minutes
we have been a family
because of you.
We love you, OBaby.
perfect post. there is almost no way to describe the giant love you feel for your own child and how you’ll never be the same again. but you do it well. motherhood is such a wonderful blessing. it’s draining sometimes, and guilt inducing, but o the rewards!
Thank you, Shelley. These six months have brought a mixed bag of emotions, but the one resounding chorus has been love.
can you believe how fast time flies when you have a baby?! i love this post – so precious nad heartwarming! and that picture of you with Micah is gorgeous! being a mommy looks great on you :)
O, thanks Elizabeth! You know, it does feel like this winter isn’t dragging nearly as much as the last ones I can remember. That’s probably because I wake up everyday in disbelief of how much he’s grown and how old he is.
Happy half birthday, OBaby!
I adore the second picture!
Isn’t Beth an amazing photographer? So glad she captured that.
That Picture of you and OBaby that Beth took is simply gorgeous!
That’s all Beth. re: she’s awesome.
Awesome or not, you and OBaby sure make it easy on her! :)
Simply beautiful! Just wait, the next 6 months will be O so amazing!
~Is it OK for blog guest to use cutesy phrases beginning with O??
O, you know it!
Cutest 6 month old I “know!” Love his sweet, darling face in that first picture!
It is amazing how they change out lives, isn’t it?
BTW, is his birthday July 16th? Just curious since that’s my hubby’s birth date! : )
Yep! July 16th, 2009 10:10am
One of those moments in time you will remember forever, you know?
Happy 6 months,Mr Beyond Adorable! If I was closer to your age(like,maybe 19 years younger)I think I would marry you. :)
Thanks for sharing him with us, AllisonO!! ♥
Awe! Thanks for letting me share this with you!
That first picture is absolutely adorable.
Though I love my second baby like crazy, I have a special place in my heart for my first born because of what you said — he’s the baby that first made me a mother and first made us a family. What a little life changer!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the ride of motherhood.
And what a fast-paced ride it is. Holy guacamole.
I was a blubbering mess on Dacey’s first half-birthday. I spent hours making a photostory of her first six months. I was SO SAD that it had gone by so quickly. Guess what? Just gets faster from here. That’s utterly unique insight, I know.
He sure is one kissable little boy! I agree – motherhood looks very good on you.
I’ve been a blubbery mess a few times this week, but I held it together on his half-birthday. Putting him in the highchair for the first time had me in ruins though.
Wow 6 monthes already. Time sure does fly, You have grown to be a wonderful Mommy (nlogger) keep up the awesome work. I love reading your blog and OBaby is just to precious. Come check out my blog http://www.carribear0620.blogspot.com
He is absolutely precious! Y’all always look SO HAPPY in your pictures!! Good to see! :-D
Thanks Brandy! Our secret is not having the camera out at the crazy moments. ;)
He is seriously the most beautiful baby! Great photography!
Thanks Abby! I’ll tell him you said so.
Beautiful. And thanks for the reminder that Tommy is six months tomorrow. You’re not as good with these things the second time around!
Hey, I do what I can. Happy half-birthday, Mr. Tommy!
Oh the joys you will experience…………enjoy every minute!! Believe me you will blink and he will be 6 years old!!
We certainly are enjoying every minute. Every single that goes flying by. WOOSH.
The second picture is my favorite! You look gorgeous and SO happy… :)
