Six months old. Wow. Time does fly by so quickly. Six months ago at this time I was walking Baby Mae around showing her off to everyone. Time flies...

I've enjoyed watching her grow bigger and stronger each day. She's been our primary focus - there's really very little time for much else - raising a baby is one of the toughest jobs I've ever done.

Someone told me it gets easier with time; they were right - it does. I'm just now finally (slowly) adding things back into my routine - like working out - watching birds - working in the darkroom - reading - noodling ideas with Alison. The one thing I've learned over the last six months is it's OK to put things on hold - or to forget them completely - while attending to baby. That's been a hard lesson to learn - and one I wish I would have learned many years ago.
