We've been reflecting today on how much has happened to us in the last 6 months, even though Jackson's 6 month half-birthday was 2 weeks ago. It's been an incredible ride, and it really seems like things are just starting to happen, at least from a Dad's perspective. In the last month Jackson has begun consistently sitting up, has proven roll-over capabilities, and has starting grabbing things to put into his mouth. He really seems like a human now..
Since neither of us were the typical, "We're definitely gonna have kids," types, it's hard sometimes to realize that just a year and a half ago we made the decision to start trying to have a baby. Now here we are, and when Jackson has gone to bed and we look at the toys on the floor, the baby food smeared all over his high chair tray, and the stinky clothes in the wash room, it the most fulfilling, happy, wonderful feeling we've ever had. I tell ya, all those obnoxious parents were exactly right, and I guess now I'm one of them. You just don't know what its like until you have one.
