Hello my sweet Dage,
It has been a while since I've written. To be quite honest, I forgot about my letters to you. I hope I will remember from this point forward to write to you often.
You are more than 6 months old now! I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was in the hospital, anxious and waiting for you to be born. And then you were in my arms, the most precious thing I have ever held. Thinking back over these six months, my heart is filled with love and joy. I remember sleepless nights, exhausting days, sweet snuggles, and a longing to be with you at every moment. There have been massively poopy diapers and spitup on my Sunday clothes. You've peed on our friends and splashed bath water everywhere. I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
Each moment with you is a gift from our Heavenly Father, and I'm so grateful for the blessing that you are in my life. I've been back at work for 4 months now, and some days I really struggle with that decision. You are attending Kid's Castle during the day. They take really good care of you there. I work from home every once in a while, and am able to keep you with me on those days. You are such a great baby! There are very few times that you aren't content, and in most cases when whatever problem you're having is resolved you are immediately happy again. You love people, and you love standing and jumping. You're eating most pureed foods, but you didn't like apples last time we tried them.
Daddy has been in Hawaii for the last 3 and a half weeks, and during that time you started saying "Dadadada". I sent a video to Dada, and he was so proud of you! We both love you so much and are so excited to watch you continue to learn and grow.
All my love,
Mama
