Babyburf 6 Months

Dear Babyburf -

You hit half a year about two weeks ago. This is my favorite age yet - everyday is an exploration it's so fun to watch.  You are so cheerful and you light up at just about everything.  A few things to note -

- You are now 19 lbs and 8 oz and 25.5 inches tall.

- We were separated for a few days while I traveled for work it was so hard.

- You looked for me in the phone and tried to get me in FaceTime.

- You got sick for the first time also while I was gone.

- Being sick made you so pitiful.  

- But you handled it like a champ always smiling and cuddling.

- You didn't want your nose wiped though which was annoying.

- You continue to explore new foods like pears, apples, zucchini, blueberries, honeydew and French fries

- Your favorite is still green beans and really just green veggies.

- You also love the wash cloth after your meal we call it dessert.

- You sit up solidly and reach for things with both hands.

- You start to move toward crawling position but can't move yet.

- You can however scoot backwards when on our hardwoods.

- You especially like to grab straws, hair, and glasses.

- Whenever guys hold you - you look for their beards to pull just like daddy's.

- You like toys that make noise.

- Favorite toy is the hungry caterpillar.

- you became and expert at sticking out your tongue.

- you also love to shake your head as if to say no.

- Mommy checks your hair growth daily. 

- I love mimicking your squeals and noises.

- I still detests your car seat and cannot wait to graduate to the bigger one.

- I love watching you play by yourself.

- and you constantly want to do whatever I am doing, which is too cute.

- I so enjoy when you reach for me to take you or pick you up.

- I enjoy playing the "are you ready game" and making you cackle at the end.

- Daddy gets you dressed many a morning and you often pee on him or on the changing table.

- Daddy loves when you fall asleep on his chest.

- He loves cuddling you after work.

- He also loves posting pictures mommy sends him throughout the day onto social media.

- He was very excited for Christmas and your 1/2 birthday and bought you a play table and a handful of Christmas presents.

That's all for now.  Love you very much.

Mommy
