a season of firsts.

It's crazy how many firsts you experience during the initial 6 months of your life... and you don't even know what is going on! Total bummer, right? My poor little Peter is accomplishing all sorts of cool things right now and he wont even remember a single one of them. Luckily I take more than enough pictures of him so when he is older and having his own kids he can finally appreciate all of this firsts... hahaha yeah probably not, but at least I'll feel good about it. (: To demonstrate... here are a bunch of Peter's firsts. Don't worry, I did not include his first blow out... although it may or may not have been documented because of it's ginormity... danged up&up diapers!

Our little guy is almost 6 months old now and he has really slowed down his pace. Firsts don't happen every day like they used to but I'm sure he'll be crawling, getting teeth, and walking soon enough (but not too soon, pretty please... I like this immobile baby stuff). Now to pitch the idea of "first shirts" to Carters so they can add to their "first holiday" line... the possibilities are endless!
