Toby is six months old today - at 4.39 a.m., to be exact, which is why this is getting posted at 4.39 a.m. (It’s posting at that time because of blog-magic, not because I am awake at that time. At least, I hope I’m not!)
He’s lovely. He’s tiny, but bright and alert and babbling and sweet and quick to smile. Just lovely 
On the one hand, it can seem like the time since his birth has flown, but on the other hand, it seems like he’s been part of our family forever. His brothers are still besotted with him (and his parents too, just a bit ;-))
Remember that whole this-is-the-last-one thing? Well, I’m making nobody any promises.
Tonight - well, last night, by the time this posts - I found the text-record of an instant-messenger conversation I had with a friend while I was in labour. It’s full of typos, short sentences, one-word answers, long pauses, threats to do things to Scratchy, and even a bit of swearing 
At the time, I wasn’t sure if it was “really it” - there’d been so much stop-start stuff - but reading it now, it is so obvious

Happy 1/2 year birthday Toby! When do anniversaries of our babies’ births start to be simply their birthday rather than the day we gave birth to them? Or don’t they? Thought you’d know better than most having done it so many times!

That just means I’m more confused than most
I still think about their births on their birthdays. I don’t know if it ever changes - I still do for Barney, and he’s 11.
Happy 1/2 Birth Day - and hope you didn’t freeze to death
