7 months...

I'm not really sure how to start this post...I have a 7 month old. Is that even possible? I can't even remember my life before we had Witt. He has brought us so much joy that there are no words to adequately express it.

I read a Facebook post from a blog that mentioned how we live in a society of "just waits" when it comes to parenting. It went on to say that parents of teenagers are notorious for saying "just wait until your teenager does_____fill in the blank". Really? I look at it as more of an I can't wait to see what joy Witt will bring us! I know that parenting has its ups and downs and challenges, but we knew that going into this. I can't wait to see those challenges, hardships and stresses. I can't wait to see the joys, triumphs and accomplishments. I consider parenting a joy and a blessing. Something that should not be taken lightly or joked about. Don't get me wrong, I am not naive in thinking that it will always be peachy, I don't have rose colored glasses. But there is joy in everything...just wait! :)
I leave you with some 7 month photos of little man.

Bluebonnets

I still don't understand the fascination with Texans and bluebonnets. I thought, and still do, how ridiculous it is when people stop on the side of the highway and unload their entire family, including their extended family, lawn chairs and such to take photos in bluebonnets. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful flowers, but is this really necessary? The side of the highway, cars are whizzing by! Well...I am not the person who stops off the highway but I did partake in the bluebonnet photography opportunity, like every other Texan (please don't misunderstand, I am NOT a Texan, but I am embracing a few things)! We, and what seems like the rest of North Dallas, went to a beautiful field of bluebonnets (not off the highway). Witt was not really a fan but he still looks mighty cute despite the facial expression! We have a fun time dodging bees and looking for that "perfect" shot!
 Here is one example if his LOVE for nature...just like his mamma!

There are also a few 6 month onesie photos...we are calling him our little bobble head with his gigantic head! Love it! I love every second of being a mom! Happy Spring friends!
