Happy Six Months!

Six Months

 

Dear Sweetcakes,

I can not believe you have been enriching our lives for 6 whole months now.  Each day, a more and more of your personality is coming out.  It is so fun to watch you become your own little person. 

You are eating a mixture of rice and oatmeal cereal for one meal each day.  Of course, feeding you started out really messy, but we are getting better.  Introducing solids stresses mommy out incredibly.  I feel like just when we got the perfect nursing schedule down, we have to go and change everything. You started sitting in your highchair this month.  Until this point, we have just been using your Bumbo seat, but we felt you are old enough to claim your space at the table.  Your daddy and I have decided to make your baby food.  Let’s hope we don’t regret this decision. 

 

You have gotten too big to take baths in the sink, so we have moved your bathtub into the big tub.  You love bath time and are definitely not afraid of the water.  It is becoming one of my favorite times with you.

 

 

Your bond with your daddy is growing stronger by the day.  Not to mention that you look more and more like him too.  Both of you love to be in the kitchen.  Your favorite is to sit on the counter while he prepares dinner, usually playing with his coffee spinner.  You, also, love it when he comes home from work and immediately want all his love an attention.

 

 

This is the first month you sat in a highchair while we were eating out and rode in a buggy.  You like to sit this way because it allows you to see more of what is going on.

 

 

You now have 2 teeth on the bottom!  You will be ready for your daddy’s delicious meals soon enough.  We are still working on the skill of sitting.  If someone helps you into the position, you can sit all by yourself and play.  You are so much fun at playtime, but at times wear yourself out. 

 

 

And of course, I still love to watch you sleep.  There is a special peacefulness that washes over me when I concentrate on your sleep.  6 months later and I am still in awe of you and all that you have brought to our lives, how you learn so much everyday, and how you have completely changed my concept of love.  I am so excited for the next 6 months and there are lots of fun things down the road for us.
