Six Months Old and Seeing Santa!!

Our big blue-eyed baby boy turned 6-months old yesterday!!  We partied by waiting in a decently long line to see Santa for the first time!!  Darian fell asleep in the car on the way, and slept for most of the time while we waited in line, but he woke up on his own when we were close to seeing Santa.  He awoke in a good mood, as usual, and had fun watching all the excited kids in line.  We met some nice people in line behind us, and they took a group picture for us! It was really cold, so we dressed 'Santa's Little Helper' in his snowsuit, which is a wee bit too big, but he'll grow into it!  I have to get the zipper fixed already though, as it broke!  Deedlebug was pretty content sitting on Santa's lap! I thought he might pull his beard, but i don't think he really noticed Santa much, since he wasn't facing him!  He did get a little flirtatious with Mrs. Claus though!  Darian has really been such a joy this first 6 months!  Despite hard economic times, paycuts, daycare costs, essentially being the poorest we've ever been...it has been the BEST 6 months of our lives by far!!  So much to be thankful for!  He's growing and learning so much everyday!  I hope he's half as happy having us as parents as we are having him as a son!!
