Arianna is 6 months old!


It's hard to believe that Arianna is 6 months old. What's even harder to believe is the 180 she has done in her temperament. She went from an out of control colicky newborn to a sweet, smiley, and content infant. She would scream for 4 or 5 hours straight at night and now she goes down at night without a sound. It's truly amazing and a good thing because her brother is giving us enough grief!

Just 6 short months ago:
*it was 80+ degrees out. While I was in the hospital there was 2 or 3 days of brutally humid weather. What I wouldn't give for that now.

*Cam was just starting to speak. He was stringing 2 or 3 words together and we were amazed. Now he is talking in full sentences and can tell us what he needs and also how he feels. Just today I said, "I love you, Cam." He turned to me and said, "I love you, Mommy." He has never said that and I broke down in tears.

*Cameron had another surgery but this one was a breeze. Since then he has had zero ear infections! Arianna on the other hand has had 2 rounds of ear infections. I don't get it. Why are they always sick? They are not in daycare 40 hours a week so why are they sick?

*Most importantly, I have survived 6 months as a Mom of 2! There have been plenty of days when I didn't think I would or when one of the kids wouldn't...but we have!
