6 Months Old



Wow, I can't believe that my baby boy is halfway to being 1 already!! He is such a big, happy boy, and he and Kalia are still having so much fun together. I tried to capture some of this fun on the camera, but in all of my pictures one of them or both of them were making a really weird face! I just love how much Kalia loves Oliver. Yesterday I was making lunch and it just warmed my heart to hear the two of them happily giggling and playing together in the living room. His eyes just light up when he sees her and she can cheer him up when he's crying so easily with her silly noises and faces. The three of us were sitting on Kalia's bed reading stories a few days ago, and Kalia looked at Oliver and then said to me "Mommy, Oliver is a special gift from God" and it made me so happy I just wanted to cry! She just came up with that on her own, without Scott or I having said it. I feel so blessed as a mom to have these two beautiful kids and am so thankful for the ways that they bring joy to each day.

So I definitely teared up when I read what Kalia said about Oliver...what an incredible blessing! You must be doing an amazing job as parents for her to think like that!!! Both your munchkins are so cute:)!

He is such a little man already! I don't think he looks much like Kalia at all. Amazing the faith of a two year old, hey? If only our faith could be so unconditional. Thanks for the reminder though.

Your kids are too cute! I love that Kalia thinks Oliver is so great. Hopefully that lasts!

Awww, so cute! The two of them are so beautiful and it's so great that Kalia is such a great big sister to Oliver. 1/2 way to 1? Noooo! That means my baby is growing up too. :*(

OH my goodness, your kids are SO cute, I just LOVE your family picture at the top, it's wonderful!
And Oliver, oh my, I can't believe he's already so old! I've been out of the blogging world for a while now and I've missed out on him growing up. But I'm back now, and it's great to see that you're doing well.
Reading your post made me excited to see how Ethan and Anthony will interact as they get older :o)

Hey Brandi,
Can you switch my email address to:
bloggingmandi@gmail.com

The one I was using was Chris' but I never could check off the box that emails you if the blog writer answers or comments on comments you've made...does that make any sense?

Anyways, I've made my own gmail account now, so if you could switch that one to have access to your site, that would be good, thanks :o)
