6 months! Where did the time go!?

I've been meaning to post something for a while now, but have had so many thoughts bouncing around in my head, I have had a lot of stress coming from many directions, and just been plain busy. So I hope I can put all my thoughts down without it sounding too chaotic and hopefully will make sense.

 Elliot turned 6 months on the 26th of March. We haven't had his 6 month check-up yet, so I don't know his stats, but I will post about that after his appointment next week. I cannot believe that 6 months have passed already since this amazing, precious little boy entered my life. I knew having him around would change my life, but I never knew in how many different ways that would happen. He is such a happy baby. So smiley and giddy all the time. Even when he is sick, he is still happy and smiling. How did I get so lucky?! He is rolling around all over the place and I think will be crawling soon. He loves pears and sweet potatoes. He LOVES Cosmo! He will burst out in giggles every time Cosmo comes around him or tries to play with him when he is playing on the floor. I love his smile. He has these piercing blue eyes and combined with his contagious smile, he can melt anyones heart. I love how he will grab and hold my face and just stare at me. There is something about the way he looks at you and smiles, I can't explain it, but it somehow makes everything okay, no matter how bad of a day I have had! He is so precious and innocent. He doesn't care what I have done in the past. He doesn't care what I should have done and didn't, or what I shouldn't have done and did. He just loves me. He smiles and squeals every day when I get home from work! Best thing to come home to EVER!!! I love that I get to be his mom. At the same time, it is completely terrifying knowing the responsibilty I have to care for him, protect him, teach him. I feel totally unqualified. I want him to experience many things, at the same time, there are things I don't want him to ever have to experience. But I know that he probably will, and I also know that it will help him grow and learn and help mold him into, hopefully, a wonderful man someday. And I don't want to miss a moment of it!
