We've come a long way as well

My Theo is 5 months old today. I don't know how but it's been the fastest 5 months of my life. I really don't know where the time went. I do know that the first 3 months were awfully rocky and I never imagined that he would turn into this cheery little fella who loves to laugh and smile. These days we have a great time together and in reflection I see that those tough first months just made me appreciate him more. When he is handed quickly back at the first sign of distress and you've got no choice than to just hold him and rock him through the screams, you ask yourself how much more you can take. Then just when it seems too much to handle, he starts to smile! and coo! I'm glad that my friends and family are much more wise and level-headed than I am and knew it would pass. I'm grateful for all their (your!) support and council. My prayers were answered through you. So now we all laugh more than cry and wake up looking forward to our day (even if it does start WAY too early. But that's a different story...) I LOVE YOU THEO!!
