6 Months a Mother

6 months a mother and still none the wiser.

6 months a mother and still worried I'm doing it wrong.

6 months a mother and we tummy time 6 times a day.

6 months a mother and we practice sign language with song.

5 bottles a day and one more before bed.

5 minutes at the beginning of every nap I pat his back.

5 times we've tried cereal with a bowl and spoon. 

5 people I'm grateful for, who pick up my slack *. 

4 books every day, we read together in his chair.

4 AM I'm up and running, literally... I run.

4 times a day we step outside to shop, walk or play.

4 chores at night, before the day can be done.

3 naps a day, and hour or more a piece.

3 dogs follow us around hoping for attention.

3 bottles I wash over and over again.

3 educational CDs we listen to, hoping for retention.

2 of us hoping we don't screw this kid up.

2 days a week Jim is home with us all day.

2 piano recitals every day where Josiah (and the dogs) sing along.

2 times a day Josiah and I pray

1 little boy we love so very much.

1 chance to raise him the best that we can.

1 more day before he's another day older :(.

1 huge (little) blessing, part of God's plan.

* You know who you are.
