The Best 6 Months of Our Lives

The 14th marked the 6th month anniversary of the day we met our sweet Ruby. So incredible. So much has changed since that long awaited day! We are a family! Our days are filled with giggles and smiles and all the joy that a toddler can bring. Our shy baby girl has blossomed into this fun, funny, sweet, loving, and adventurous little girl. It's great to see her growing and coming into her own! Such a personality she has!

It is remarkable to think about how many wonderful times we have had and how close we are in such a short time. The transition was so easy. And all those months last summer I worried so much! There are no words to perfectly capture the days and the moments we share with her. I still just stare at her in awe some days. The magic is still there and I don't think it's ever leaving. Sure there are sleepless nights and chaos here and there. But life is good and this special day was spent with family. Jeff's parents were up and Ruby loved her time with Grammy & Pappy. We did too!
