Ellison Headley is coming up on six months -- here, he's about a week short of it. Place these photos next to some from his first week or two of life? Take me out of my context as "Papa" and I'm not sure I'd realize that it's the same boy. Well, probably I would -- but my point, should I have one, is that he has changed A LOT. Grown six or so inches taller. Nearly doubled in weight. He sits up on his own, rolls over whenever he wants. Is curious about everything that is happening around him. The boy is absolutely playing in these pics here. Playing! Can you imagine such a thing? This -- all of it -- we find shocking. And wonderful. And terrifying. Miraculous.

| For a bit of perspective, here's Tiny E during the truly tiny days -- probably within a week or so of bringing him home from the hospital. |
I remember him at this early stage and see him growing into his older self. Seems so long ago, yet it's only half a year.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to put up the contemporary and the beginning bundle of joy who is just springing forth at astonishing speed. Beautiful. Thanks for the pictures and captions. Precious. Can never be achieved, for this stage, again.
