6...or 7.... Month Update.

“I feel so lucky that I get to be his mama!”

I used to hear this and think, “Duh. What do you mean you feel ‘lucky’? Did you not know what you were getting yourself into?”

 I was always so confused when I’d hear moms say things like that. I didn’t get it.

Now I do.

I get it.

I feel SO lucky to be Xavi’s mama.

I was thinking the other day about how so many people in our lives LOVE our sweet boy. I was thinking about how often we’re asked how he’s doing. Or how often we have someone tell us that they miss his face.

Then I thought about how I get to come home to that face every day.

And I got it.

I’m so lucky to be his mama.

And here I sit… writing his 6 month update – 4 days after he turned 7 months. (What can I say? It’s the first time I’ve had time AND energy to sit down and take a minute!)

Six-Month Old Xavi is delightful.

He’s sweet and funny. He loves everyone he meets – and the feeling is mutual. He’s such a “good baby”. He travels well and totally goes with the flow.

His smile is the sweetest and his giggles come straight from his soul.

He loves his puppies. He loves his party chair and the walker at Granny and Grampa’s house. He loves his silly Abuelita and LOVES bath time!

He’s got 2 toofers and he’s workin’ on a third. He’s close to 19 pounds and I’m pretty sure he’s going to be a giant when he grows up.

He’s got enough hair to make a Bath Tub Mohawk and is almost waving and clapping.

He’d rather walk around holding your hands instead of even pretending to think about crawling or sitting down. However, when he does sit he’ll play with his toys forever and not make a peep.

He (right now) seems to be independent. I’m soaking up every single second of that since I don’t expect it to last forever.

The second I put him down for bed at night I miss him and I want him to wake back up so we can play.

And Jason. Who knew that you could fall in love over and over again every single day? Just watching the two of them together melts my heart.

I get it now. And I do feel so lucky.

Who’s got time to write a blog when you’ve got this sweet face to kiss on….
