Wolfie at Six Months
April 1st, 2010 by Dawn Tacker
Actually, Wolfie is six and a half months, and big brother Andrew is almost six and a half years old. I will not lie. Raising an infant is hard. Some days it’s REALLY hard. Sleep deprivation is a way of life, which is why my professional portrait commissions are far fewer these last few months. But I know how quickly this time flies by, so I try to live each day and enjoy.
Wolfie is fearless; he has no worries about getting hurt. But he’s only happy being held if it’s me or Dave. He has four teeth already, working on #5. He is in the 15th percentile for weight, but the 85th for height. I wish I could say the same! He is sitting up on his own and crawling. Let the babyproofing begin! As we often tell him, he is Trouble. In a cute way.
He looks up to his big brother, and the two of them together are silliness and joy and love personified. Andrew is amazing with him - he lives to make Wolfie laugh, and is the perfect age right now to be highly amusing to babies. Becoming a big brother has made Andrew complete. It makes my heart glow when I see how he has stepped into his new role, and the love he showers on his baby brother. It’s all worth it just for that. I love thinking of them together - that they will always be brothers.
I could write a book, but will end here to post these Spring portraits. Let me know what you think.
Beautiful as always, Dawn.
SO cute!! I love his bald little head and those flowers are incredible. Where is that??
Your boys are both so handsome and so lucky to have such a talented and fun Mom.
