Since the day she was born, I couldn’t wait for my baby to be able to sit and play and walk and talk...I always considered myself not to be a ‘baby’ person. I didn’t enjoy seeing her frustrated and wanted to be able to have ‘fun’ with her.

Now my baby is 6 months old, after trying for so long...yesterday, she played by herself for close to an hour (under close supervision of course). She was sitting up for ages, playing with her toys, then she rolled over and kinda-crawled over to the toys she wanted to grab.

She has never shown signs of independence like this before and I know it’s only going to intensify everyday. She’s a determined baby!

Now I have what I wanted. This was the day I was waiting for....and I literally spent ages in bed crying! She even slept for 12hrs tonight with no wakings. Which she hasn’t done in months. She’s suddenly growing up and I want time to stop.
