half-birthdays

This weekend we celebrated six months since Baby Caroline joined our family.
We love a birthday, so we took some time to celebrate Caroline's half birthday*.

To mark the occasion, we let Lauren pick out a cupcake and headed out to the park.


We played and ran around in the humid Texas heat
while thinking about how quickly the last six months has gone.
It's so cliche,
but it is something every mother feels.
Despite your best effort to soak it in,
take your time,
and enjoy every little moment,
they pass before your very eyes.




Here's to six more months
of soaking it in,
taking our time,
and enjoying every little moment
we have with Baby Caroline.
Because before we know it,
she'll be the little girl in the picture,
blurry,
because she runs so fast.



Just like her sister.

* I didn't really think about it until writing this post, 
but half birthdays may become a running theme for Caroline. 
With a day after Christmas birthday,
we're going to have to find all sorts of creative ways to celebrate.
