6 Months

Dear Piper,


You are 6 months old today and that boggles my mind.  I can't believe it has been 6 months since you were born!  I still cry just thinking about that night and early morning.  When you entered into this world, I swear time stood still.  You cried.  I counted your fingers and toes.  You looked at me.  You looked at daddy.  You grabbed onto daddy's finger within seconds.  You, at that moment, became the center of our universe.  


I'm sitting here listening to the songs I picked out for you for 9 whole months, to be "your" songs.  I spent so long trying to pick out the perfect songs and I would listen and try to imagine you in my arms.  Little did I know that holding you, snuggling you, feeding you, dancing with you, rocking you would be the most amazing feeling I would ever experience.  I will do anything for you my lovely, anything.


Taylor Swift's "Never Grow Up" comes on now and it brings a tear to my eye.  You are growing up so fast.  You were so tiny in my arms on May 20th and now 6 months later, you are my chunky monkey.  You sit up by yourself, do the body scoot on the floor, can stand up while holding my hands, roll around to get to something and observe everything.  I am amazed at what you have learned in such a short amount of time!


Miss Piper, you are curious, a quick learner, observant, alert, aware, silly, playful, flirty, lovable and so much more.  You bring so much pure happiness, joy and pride to mommy and daddy's lives.  We didn't even know this amount of happiness existed before you came along.


My munchie, I love you forever and ever.  
"To the dwarf planets and back."
Love,  Mommy
