Dear Augustine {6 Months Already!!}

My Dearest Augustine -

Six! months have passed since you landed earth side.  I can hardly believe it.  Being baby 12 can't be easy.  Especially after 5 girls.  You handle it well.  You get LOTS of love and attention, lots of kisses, hugs.  There is lots of noise but you sleep anyway.  When you were in the NICU they put you in your own room because the nurse said you needed silence and calm.  Well played, dear boy.  You got your own room out of that deal but we both know you handle noise and chaos with great valor.  It's kind of your thing.  My Dr. first caught you moving like a maniac around 8 weeks after conception.  He said then that he had never seen such an active baby.  He has delivered thousands of babies so I think he knows his stuff.  He stuck by his word throughout my pregnancy with you.    I say now that I have never had such an active baby.  Your smile lights up a room and your eyes dance like I've never seen.  You're "kicky and grabby" as your dad says and "just adorable" as your sisters say again and again and again.  I say you are loved. 


 
Thanks for being a light in our lives.  You make our days better.

 
Oh little superman what a journey you've made so far!!  Never forget the power of prayer because it's by the Grace of God and our friends far and wide that prayed that you are here and healthy.
Happy 6 months, your half birthday, don't grow up too fast.
Love,
Mommy
