Baby Doodle's half birthday

Today baby Doodle is 6 months old. Mr. Doodlebug and I sang to him at exactly 2:56 p.m. when he was born. He was delighted by the song. I made him a half cake, inspired by Girlfiend, and he promptly put his hand in the frosting and took a chunk out of it. We also made a mold of his little hand with plaster of paris. I'm sure I will appreciate it much more than he will when he's older.

I can not believe how fast he's growing. The other day I was putting away clothes that he has outgrown, among them were his newborn (smaller than the 0-3 month) one-piece pajamas. They looked so tiny. I remember when people gave us outfits for when he would be 6 to 9 months and thinking how big they looked, and finding it hard to believe he would ever fit in them. Well, he does. It's amazing.

Some pictures to commemorate baby Doodle's half birthday:

Too cute.
