I love my son so much and feel so blessed every day to have him in my family. It is so much work being a mother and all of the other roles I must call my own. It is so worth it and can only imagine how it will grow from here. Colton has such a sweet and adventurous spirit. I am proud to call him mine. I love you, Colton. Happy 6 months!
