Vivien is officially sitting up and today she spent most of her morning sitting like a big girl. It finally hit me today that I have a six month old! I still can't believe I've spent six months raising my daughter.
It feels like yesterday we brought her home and I felt overwhelmed and a little afraid of what was to come. I'm a pretty confident person but holding your child and realizing she's your responsibility was pretty scary those first few days.
In six months, Vivien has evolved into this tiny little human growing before my eyes. Each day she suprises me with something new. Her personality is completely unique and nothing I really expected.
I love how serious she can be and then suddenly give you a pretty smile. I love how focused she is when there is something in her path she wants. I love how happy she is in the morning and how she kicks her feet with excitement when she sees me. I think its funny how she isn't the biggest cuddler. She won't rest her head on my shoulder unless she's completely exhausted. She prefers to sit as upright as possible so she can see all of her surroundings. It doesn't matter what we're doing together, she's happy as long as I'm keeping her involved. Whether that's playing peek-a-boo when I'm in the shower and she's watching me in her car seat, or how she likes to sit in the kitchen and watch me cook and dance at the same time. She even likes to watch me blow dry my hair and put my makeup on. She's constantly studying my expressions and every move like she's taking it all in.
Together her and I are taking it all in. In six months, I feel so much more confident as a mother and even though I haven't "figured it out", I know that we'll figure it out together. I know she's going to continue to grow in her own special personality and I'll be right by her side to embrace all of her.
Happy 6 months! :)
