Alex,
My oldest son and littlest baby, having you enter our lives just six short months ago was one of the greatest joys we have been blessed with. Since that time you have grown from a tiny, sensitive newborn into a gentle, patient but amazingly active little guy. We are constantly surprised with how quickly you master new skills (especially when it comes to traveling across the room to grab whatever toy catches your attention!) and love watching your curiousity grow as you encounter new people and experiences. There is often a look of mischief and excitement in those big brown eyes of yours that make me wonder just what fun we'll have as you enter toddlerhood! And although you always seem to be on the move, there is a calm, easy going aspect of your personality that allows you to patiently sit and examine a new face, object or situation with the attentiveness of a little scientist. You have forever stolen our hearts with your gentle brown eyes and sweet baby curls. Our lives would be empty without you. We love you Alex!
Max,
Our youngest baby (by fifteen minutes!), having you enter our lives just six short months ago was one of the greatest joys we have been blessed with. You are in two words: sunshine personified. Your bright, happy smile and cheerful personality bring joy and laughter into our lives each day. We love listening to you burst into nonstop giggles (which you do most often while watching your big sister act silly) and can never get enough of the bright, beaming smile you easily share with everyone. Although you seem to be filled with curiosity and awe at all the new surprises in your ever expanding world, you are most content taking it all in from our arms while being cuddled, hugged, kissed, and especially tickled. You are our own little teddy bear, our charming little flirt. Our lives would be empty without you. We love you Max!
My Little Boys,
As wonderful as it's been watching you both grow into your little personalities over the last half year it also makes me sad to know just how fleeting your baby days are. Could you slow down just a little and let me rock you awhile longer, give me time to enjoy your warm, sweet baby smell. Let me sing to you and watch as your little eyes light up at the sound of my voice. Let me kiss your soft baby cheeks and play with your tiny toes while I still can, for each day you move a little further away from being my babies and that much closer to being the little boys you'll soon grow up to be.
Happy half year birthday my baby boys. I love you both.
Mommy
