Happy 1/2 Birthday Jason!

My little guy is 1/2 a year old today.  I can't believe we've made it.  Not that I thought anything bad was going to happen or that we wouldn't make it to 6 months.  But wow what a whirl wind of activity those first 6 months were.  Navigating the uncharted waters of parent hood with nothing but my nerves of steel, my trusty "mom-manual"  What to expect in the first year and oodles of unsolicited advice.  I am now just finally feeling like I know what I'm doing... sort of.  I still consult my mom network for advice from time to time and my copy of "what to expect in the first year" still looks like it has seen better days.  With Jason being so happy and easy to please... most of the time, I feel I must be doing this mothering thing half right at least.  And I feel it's a good sign that Child and Protective Services hasn't shown up at my door (not that I'm saying they would ever need to).  But so far Jason is a happy, healthy 6 month old meeting all his developmental milestones, so I am giving my self a pat on the back.  Now lets see how the next 17 1/2 years turn out... I know, it's kind of dumb to assume that he'll be out of the house at 18.  I actually know he won't because he's already a mama's boy. And I like it that way.
