The Mom I Want To Be

Baby reached a very special milestone this month. It wasn't a motor skill or a first word, but a matter of age. My little one is now officially half a year old! And my, so much has happened in this half year, both to Baby and to me! I don't need to recap all the excitement, exhaustion, and learning experiences of my first six months as a mom, but I can recap on what's been happening in the past month and at Baby's age overall. Baby's Accomplishments First Words As you know, Baby said his very first word last month! On November 5 when I was taking his 5-month birthday photo, my son babbled something that almost sounded like the word "Mom." But then on November 17 as he lay on his changing table he said it again, so much more clearly and several times! Not "Mama" or "Mommy" but just "Muuhhhmm."
