Way too quick

Most days I find myself looking at the clock every hour wishing it was time for Mike to come home from work. But, every once in a while I'm struck by how, in the grand scheme of things, time goes by way too quickly. Lena turned 6 months old on Friday. In some ways, I'm in shock that it's already been 6 months. But, I also cannot remember life without her. She continues to be my little angel. I just cannot get enough of this precious little girl. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that she is the happiest baby ever. She smiles from the time she gets up in the morning until the time I lay her in her crib at night. And it's not just a little turning of the corners of her lips. Lena's entire face smiles...her eyes, her nose, her cheeks, her lips...even her body gets in on the action. Add to that some laughter and you know why we have nicknamed her 'Giggles'. Seriously, this girl is awesome. I think her only downfall is that she still wakes me up several times a night. But, I can forgive her for that because it's not really her fault. She cries in her sleep, but is not fully awake. Her reflux is still bothering her and seems to be at it's worst at night. Hopefully she'll be growing out of it in the near future.

How can you not love this face?! She is becoming more mobile...rolling over all the time, sitting up and trying to use her arms to scoot herself across the floor. I had to capture this moment of just 'laying still' so I remember what these days are like.

These two LOVE each other. Dylan loves to make people smile and laugh. Lena loves to laugh and smile. By that you can come to the conclusion that Dylan loves to make Lena smile and laugh...ALL THE TIME. If I'm making Lena laugh, Dylan cuts in and says "No, let me do it." He immediately picks up where I left off. So cute!

There is nothing in the world more precious than sleeping babies.

Except maybe a sleeping almost 4 year old.
