today you are six months old. six. months. 26 weeks. 182 days. wow.
we celebrate you both every single day. but today marks your very first half-birthday... and all i can think to say is thank-you. thank-you for being so brave and so strong. thank-you to everyone who has prayed and hoped and wished for you both to be healthy. thank-you for all of the sweet and goofy smiles. thank-you for reminding me to believe in miracles.
every single day i am grateful for you, lynci. every single day i am thankful for you, quinnie. my heart bursts with love and joy and adoration for exactly who you both are.
lynci- oh, peanut, i am so very proud of you. you had such a rough start, and yet you fought. you fought hard. your courage amazes me. i know that that pesky reflux is still hurty, but you are conquering it, sweet girl. when you were born, you weighed a whopping 1 lb 7 oz, and, today, you weigh 11 lbs!!! you are so full of smiles and coos. you fill our lives with light and happiness.
quinnie- my pretty girl, you are getting so big so fast! the other day you rolled over from your tummy to your back all by your lonesome! granted, you were madder than a hornet during tummy time, but you. did. it. you have overcome so many obstacles, and i am in awe of your perseverance. when you were born, you weighed 1 lb 15 oz, and, today, you weigh 12 lbs 5 oz!!! your silly smiles and twinkling eyes let me know that everything will always be so okay.
happy half-birthday, lynci and quinnie! you are both love!
