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.
