Sweet Girl at 6 Months

I have to be honest. The last six months have been the most tiring months of my life because little lady hasn't figured out how to sleep through the night yet.

I didn't expect to look for Owen's bear for a HALF AN HOUR only to find it hiding beneath a toy in the basement. Lots of things I didn't...
