Happy 1/2 Birthday!
2 years, 12 months ago on Wednesday, January 11th, 2006, in the wee hoursLiah is 6 months old today. Hard to believe. I’ll admit that I still look at her and can’t believe I’m her dad. Oh, it isn’t so hard being her dad now, but even after six months I can’t picture myself as the father of a teenage girl. Thankfully I’ve got about 13 years to get ready.
I just posted a fantastic photo album (if I do say so myself) of photos from Liah’s 5th and 6th months. You can find it here.
It’s been a great six months. All the stories I heard from friends and family with kids apply. It’s a ton of work, and I can’t imagine life without Liah.
Six months is a great age too. Liah recognizes us, and it couldn’t be easier to bring a smile to her face. She’s sitting up and appears to be on the verge of crawling. She makes all sorts of sounds, and loves to poke at things with her hands.
And let’s not forget mommy Aparna. She and I are a team that have managed to find a harmony in raising Liah. For example, right now I can hear her angelic voice telling me to "get off the computer" and "change your baby’s diaper you do nothing dad." Ahhhhh… the sweet sounds of love.
ok, I better go.

cute pictures. Liah sure knows to smile for the camera. Thanks for sharing. Love, mom

Shivani, my mom and I were looking at Liah’s pics and couldn’t not believe how much she’s grown. She is very pretty, just like her mom!
The pic with the santa hat was our favourite.
I hope all is well with Team Austin and let’s try and get everyone together this summer.
God Bless
Mr.VS
