Hey, little man!

6 months!

Wow. You are six months old already. Six months must seem like a very long time to you. You've been growing and learning and getting used to your home and all the people whose faces you've come to know and love. Well, I hope you are coming to know and love us, though you seem very upset at me when your mom leaves to go grocery shopping.

You are so sad as soon as she leaves the room that we have decided to all hang out together when Papa and I come to visit. That way, we hope you won't associate seeing us with not seeing her. You are now at the age where a baby is very attached to his mama. And why not? She is an amazing mama, so pretty and kind and loving.

As I was saying, six months must seem like a very long time to you. When you are small, you think time drags by so slowly. And you will hear older people talking about how fast time flies by. Yes, it is very strange. But it's true. The last six months have gone by very, very fast for Nana and Papa.

I've heard that the less you have of something, the faster it disappears. I guess that is true of time, just like it's true of ice cream. You don't know what ice cream is yet, Derek. It is cold and rich and creamy and delicious, and there are so many different flavors! Someday, I hope to introduce you to a few of those.

I love you!
Nana
