When sweet Rylie met her adorable cousin Imogen for the first time, it may have not been lovee at first sight. In fact, a first born child and first grandchild, Rylie was very used to all of the attention being on her and was clearly not happy with sharing the spotlight. The story behind this photo shoot is one of evolving love.  More recently, Imogen’s baby coos and giggles have begun to win Rylie over, and we captured some of her affection when she graced Imogen with a few kisses.  Seeing how fashion forward Imogen was in her soft and adorable Flora and Henri outfit, Rylie was beginning to warm up to the idea of sharing the spotlight, that is…until Imogen began to nibble on Rylie’s Flora and Henri dress…..

as you can see…six months means much more Immi to handle!! hahahaha.  she was way more entertained this time by the fact that she could rip the letters down than by the goofy noises and dances mom was doing to grab her attention.  Can you see it in her face? “Look mama, these letters come off!”

so six months…wow.         wow.    wow.  wow.  it’s crazy how you can go YEARS, and time flies by, and nothing really significant changes…then all of a sudden you have this amazing little person and SO MUCH happens in just 6 months…and you are continually grabbing at time to just cling onto whatever time allows you to keep for more than a millisecond!  when i think about it, i start to hyperventilate…not a good idea.  so the best thing to do is just be in every moment possible, and enjoy it.  

so…fun stuff about our 6 month old.

* sitting up…it’s great, because we can stick her on the floor while getting dressed and she’ll sit there and grab for her toys…keeping her entertained for the seven minutes it takes to slap on some mascara, and blush…brush my teeth.

* we’ve got a tooth! and more coming in…yay for mom! who needs sleep anyway, right?
