Six months already?

six months already?

Today is Pumpkin’s six-month birthday.

A proper little lady

Hold on, I need to take a moment to let that sink in…

Okay, I’m back. *sniff*

I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone (yes, I know, everyone told me it would go by fast – of course, I didn’t listen).

It seems like just a couple of weeks ago that her little blue body was plopped on my chest, and then whisked away to the resuscitaire to get her lungs cleared out and the rest of her warmed up.

Seeing her in the incubator was so hard. And I knew we were lucky with our full-term nine-pounder. The babies next door to her in the special care unit were all so tiny and looked so fragile.

I remember holding her for the first time, then laying her little nine-pound self on the bed between my knees and thinking: “How in the world did she fit inside me?” Now I look at her first outfits and wonder if she really did ever fit in them.

It’s amazing how much she has changed in the first six months. She was so wrinkly and red those first few days – quiet, except when it was time to have her nappy changed. Then she screamed loud enough to wake everyone on the maternity ward. When we brought her home, she had a little snore that sounded like a kitten mewing and she didn’t do much, other than eat, sleep and poop.

She still loves her bear bed

For the most part, she’s still a quiet baby – she loves to silently watch things that are new to her and she gives smiles to anyone who takes the time to talk to her. She does enjoy ‘telling stories’ but she rarely cries (something I’m incredibly grateful for). Her way of letting me know that she needs something, rather, is to start talking – first quietly, then increasingly loudly, until I do something about it.

Tummy time!

She has a beautiful smile and a laugh that makes my heart melt – laughter is most successfully triggered by playing Super Baby, giving lots of kisses on alternating cheeks or blowing on her belly. Just last week, she mastered the art of rolling over and she demonstrates this new skill whenever she can. Crawling is still a long way off, but she can wriggle herself into just about any position she wants and she does an excellent impression of an inchworm.

Daddy-man is making her laugh

My favourite time of day is when we snuggle up together for an afternoon nap. Although I don’t actually sleep during this time, cuddling up to get her to fall asleep fills me with so much joy that I feel like I’m about to burst. And just before she dozes off, she almost always turns her head towards me, touching her nose to mine and letting out a contented sigh. That is the best feeling in the world.

I know the next six months 18 years will fly by and I’m doing the best I can to enjoy every moment. Part of me longs for her to stay the way she is forever – but I’m also looking forward to seeing the person she’ll become.

  1. This is so lovely! She’s a little dote 🙂 Definitely those early days lying there with skin on skin were so lovely – I was so overwhelmed but in those moments of just quiet with me and him, it all seemed okay and like I could do it! Four months in and that quiet is gone but still loving the cuddles with the tiny man – too soon he’ll be pushing me off for being uncool!

    • Thanks! Those quiet moments together are wonderful – I guess it just proves that the little things in life that really matter. 🙂
