A month? Really?

It's not that I haven't had anything to say to the two of you.  I've had plenty.  But you both keep me so busy, and exhausted, and by the time the day ends, I'm out of steam!

Rowan, you have been such a handful lately.  I'm afraid I haven't been the best mommy to you, but I am trying.  We're both struggling in this as we try to figure each other out, but know that I am trying.  I love you so much and as frustrated and beat down as we can both get, I'm trying to figure out the solution.  I'm not giving up.

Logan, you are growing up so fast!  You turned 6 months old yesterday, and I cried a little bit.  You started sitting up last week- you can't pull yourself there yet but if I set you that way, you hold steady.  You are grabbing toys, and putting things in your mouth!  You have started solids- your favorites so far are banana and prunes, which is no surprise!  Last night when you woke for the first time, it was kind of early so I tried to just rock you and soothe you back to sleep without feeding.  You would have none of it!  You reached up in the dark, took my face in both hands, and pulled my chin into your mouth as if to say, "MOM!  I'm HUNGRY!"  I laughed and then snuggled you in to nurse- I love nothing better than being your nourishment right now.

I'll try really hard to write more often.  I hope to write daily so I don't forget about your lives in these precious stages, or any stage.  You are perfect, kiddos!
