Lucas,
Today you are five months, which is almost half of a year, which really freaks me out. I try and understand where the time has gone, but there is no understanding this. You are getting bigger before my eyes, and I have to learn to look forward to these changes, not dread them. This month were full of changes for you, everyday it seems you know something new, and your daddy and I swear you are so much more advanced than any baby your age and talk about our "little genious" all the time. Ofcourse we are your parents, and so there is a partiality - but I can promise you that you really are so very smart.
We have dozens of nicknames for you. But most of the time dad is calling you "Silly McGilly", and I call you "Guy Smiley". These names couldn't be any more appropriate for you. You are happy. All the time. Even when you are screaming mad, we can get a smile out of you. I think smiling is embedded in your DNA. You are also so silly. Your laugh is infectious and you get a kick out of making everyone around you laugh. You make the funniest faces, and elicit pure happiness wherever you go. It's hard not to smile when you are around...I mean look at that picture....who could resist?? Not I. Not your Daddy. Not your Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, or friends. It's impossible. You define every good thing in our lives.
