Avery Kate is Six Months

My Sweet Avery Kate,

I cannot believe that half of a year has gone by since you joined our family! You are such a sweet, carefree and happy baby and it has been a great six months together. When your sister was born I had never experienced such love, and I wondered and worried if I could love another child as much as I did her. It turns out that a mother's love doesn't divide with another child, it multiplies.

Watching you and Madelyn interact warms my heart and gives me so much joy. No one can make you laugh and smile like your sister can. You two give each other more than I can ever give to each of you, and I cannot wait to watch your relationship grow throughout the years.

You also LOVE your daddy. You light up whenever he talks to you, and you can't take your eyes off him when he's around.

Over the past six months you've learned to smile (a lot!), occupy yourself in a bouncing chair, and you manage to grab everything you can find. We look forward to see how much you'll change in the coming months.

Happy six months, AK! Life just wouldn't be the same without you, and we are so glad you have joined our family.

Baking with My Girls

A little more patience and a lot more clean up, but I wouldn't have it any other way. So blessed to be home to experience such moments.
