Simone, Simona, Simonachka, Simosha, Simka, Rimmka, or how your sister calls you “Simonatsa.” What a blessed year for our family to have you join us six months ago. There are no words to describe how complete you make us whole. In our eyes - you are perfect. You’re an answered prayer. A living miracle. God’s Grace on display.

Baby, at this age you are pure delight. You’re gentle at touch and content at cuddles. You have the kindest eyes and the sweetest heart. You attract kisses and lots of them. You are one special icebreaker. You are always looking for opportunities to socialize and communicate. You sure do know how to keep a conversation going. Better yet, you love a good laugh.

Simone, you are super ambitious. You fight to get your way and you won’t stop until you get it. Especially when it comes to car seats. You will use your powerful voice and act on it. You’re always pushing yourself to achieve new milestones. If you continue in that spirit and with that energy, you’ll be going places!

Apart from your looks, there is a noticeable difference from your sister. Baby, you and I have the same love language. If you could spend all day snuggling with your loved ones, you would. That explains why nursing time is a special time. It is a perfect chance for you and I to lose track of time.

6 months flew by quickly. If we could pause time, we would. But we will not be selfish and let you grow up. Your chunky thighs, dimply hands, and chubby cheeks will be greatly missed. We love you, pupsik.
