I was looking through photos of your first day with us
It was just six months ago that you were born
But it only feels like a few weeks have gone by
Where has the time gone?
You’re already giggling and holding yourself up
I remember when you were so much more fragile
I’d hold you like precious china
Your little head fit into the palm of my hand
Your little body would cradle perfectly into one arm
Now you’re much bigger, much more aware
You’re looking at toys and reaching for them
You’re looking at my face and want to touch it
Your smile is so bright first thing in the morning
Your limbs jolt with excitement when you see me
You’re full of energy to start the day
Soon you’ll be reaching many more milestones
And I’ll take pictures of every one
In six more months I’ll look at them and wonder
Where has the time gone?
