Six months old!

Today our darling girl turned six months old. I cannot believe the last six months have gone as fast as they have. I've tried to be a sponge soaking it all up, every little minute. My hard drive is screaming for more space as Delaney fills every last nook and cranny. Photos of Delaney. Letters to Delaney. Video of Delaney. Emails about Delaney. She evolves and changes daily. She sits unasisted. She works constantly at crawling and nearly has it down. She grabs for and grips all sorts of things and can hold separate items in each hand, manipulating them and moving them around at will. She laughs and smiles at the good jokes. Frowns at the poorly told ones. This kid's got it all going on. Delaney has a healthy appetite and so far she's tried rice cereal, oatmeal, bananas, carrots, acorn squash, butternut squash, green beans, apples, sweet potatoes and peas. She loves them all and hasn't turned any down. She sleeps like a champ: 12+ hours per night and two naps each day. I want the power to slow down the next six months. Assuming I can't, I plan to savor every day and continue obsessively documenting Delaney's babyhood. It'll pass so quickly. I know I'll wake up one day and it will seem so long ago that she laughed uproariously at me simply winking at her.
