My darling Elsa is now half a year old and it only seems like yesterday that I cradled her tiny body in my arms and smelt her sweet scent. Everyday is filled with smiles, chuckles, little cries, lots of food and the odd exploding nappy.
When someone says (before child) that there is no love like the love you have for your child you think, yeah right, but I can totally relate. I would literally walk heaven and earth for my little pudding, she is my world, my heart.
When walking around, people often smile and call her beautiful (she always beams a big smile back) I can feel my heart exploding with immense pride. When someone compliments me, I always do that totally British thing 'oh this old thing/it's only from Primark/are you crazy, I'm really rough today' etc etc, but when someone compliments Elsa I always agree with them, because I know that she is beautiful, funny, amazing, happy, lovely, I could continue.
It's amazing how a little baby can change and grow so much in six months. Elsa has gone from a little bean that just laid in the same spot and cried for milk quite a few times a day, to a wriggly octopus who will not stay still. Dressing her is almost impossible and I am constantly chasing after her when she has rolled the length of the living room, but I would not have it any other way.
A newborn baby is so special and precious, however a six month old is just a bundle of fun and energy and it is just so heartwarming when she wants me for a cuddle.
My darling Elsa has been on this earth for a short space of time, but the impact she has made is incredible. My life just wouldn't be right without her now, she is my life.
So, here's to the next six months, lets see what they bring!
