Half Birthday

 Um.. Jane is six months today. What? And honestly we spent her half birthday hanging out. She pretty much did what she does every day. Eat, play, diaper change, sleep, repeat. I definitely snuck cuddles and kisses in there too.

 What can I say about this little girl that I haven't already? Our whole family is still just as smitten with her as the day she was born. Jane has just brought a whole new element to our family. Now, I'm not going to say that I don't remember what life was like before we had her because we loved being the awesome Townsend Family of Four. But since we had Jane, somehow I feel like we have rounder edges than we used to. Does that even make sense?

 Jane spreads so much joy to us. She makes us smile and laugh and love even more! It's been so great to see William and Lily love and serve and sacrifice more than I have ever seen. They're amazing siblings and have stepped up more than I could have ever imagined.

 This month Jane has been progressing. We got her a bouncy chair that she loves and we all have learned the little tune it plays. I switched the music and William commented that it was different.

 I started making baby food and she seems to like it. She eats like a champ, which makes feeding her more pleasurable. I have to say that fruits win by a landslide.

 Jane is still not a big fan of rolling over, but she is a pro at rocking on all fours! Crawling will be soon upon us. She's almost sitting up by herself also. I think she'll be a lot happier when that's accomplished.

 Jane still "talks" and makes all kinds of noises. She's especially chatty in the mornings.

 

Jane is a beautiful little soul. I feel lucky that I get to squeeze her little body and kiss her cheeks every day.

Next six months, you have my permission to slow down a bit.
