"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

6 months baby Clark

Bubba is six months old! It can't be! It just can't be that half a year has already gone by. :(
I'll let Clark tell you about his month:
Mommy constantly squishes and squeezes me mercilessly.She likes to dress me up and make me pose. She really can't make me do anything though.
I love my sister the most. Daddy walked in and caught us being sweet to each other. Let's hope this lasts! :)
I got to take some baths in Gamma's sink. I loved it!
I think a lot. Not so much talking though.
This is the look I give Mommy to make sure I get whatever I want.
I can't escape sister's hugs either.
I try to eat everything.
I am a drool machine. Oh and give me that camera.
These puppies also melt Mommy's heart.
I promise Mommy did not hurt me while taking this picture. She just wanted me to show off my four teeth that I got this month. Yes, four. The top two were very bad to me, Mommy says.
I chowed on the table when Mommy wasn't looking.
I went on a date with Julia. She tried to hold my hand. I let her.
I LOVE that I'm big enough to take baths with sissy now.
Clark's stats:
height: 27 1/4"
weight: 22.3
head circumference: 44 1/2 cm
*sitting up well
*starting to make more noises
*wakes up happy
*has gone back to being a great sleeper
*loves his bottles more than solid food
*is SO ticklish!!
*laughs the hardest at AnnMarie
*still cuddles with Mommy as long as she wants
*wearing 12-18 months
*leaks through his diaper every morning after sleeping all night---think we might have to start doubling up with the next size diaper

love those chubby little fingers and "braclets". Can not believe it's been 6 months already. Pretty soon I'll be reading about his 1st birthday! :(

Love the photo with the bottle in his car seat! What a precious face! And those teeth - love it! Looks like sweet times with sister. Such a sweet boy.

OH MY HEAVENLY STARS....I really would love to be closer to you guys and get to squeeze on him all the time. He is just too precious, Katy. And those snap on wrists just make me love him even more!

He is a DOLL! I know you are so proud. I love 6 month olds. Nothing sweeter!

i love that little one! he's precious and i think those facts he shared about himself are treasures to keep for his mommy. he is so similar to griffin and i think by next month, griffin will have caught him in weight.

i also cherish those moments between the siblings. we have them over here too. so sweet.

maybe we'll all be well for a short amount of time and we can play!

{oh and four teeth!!! yikes!!! griffin is holding steady with his two!}

Great posts my friend, I was catching up:-). I cannot believe he's six months...really I cannot believe it!!! I love all the Christmas decorations around your house too, nice idea to document that. December was a whirlwind but SO fun. I love seeing all the family activities.
