Six months old!

Oh, my boy.  You are growing up too fast!  I can tell it will be like this your entire life.  Here's to remembering the little things.

You're such a happy little guy.  You smile all the time!  You're only grumpy occasionally, and even then it's SO adorable.  You love to sing and play.  You're not big on talking, but you are good at making noises!  You're like to make the omigosh noise...where you suck in your breath in surprise?  Yeah, you totally love that.  You're a big boy now at almost 19 pounds!!  You also have a tooth.  Mommy's proud of that tooth.

You're eating solid foods so well.  You're eating about 2 ounces of homemade baby food (except the carrots we had to buy pre-made) three times a day, and you take an 8 ounce bottle in the morning and at night, and the two in the middle are 7 ounces each.  You always have a hearty appetite, and you always make a "happy plate".  =)  You're on a four hour schedule, and you're taking three 1.5-2 hour naps a day and sleeping 11 hours a night.  You get up every morning at 7:30am to a happy Daddy, and you're always in the best mood!  Occasionally, you have a grumpy day, but those days you're usually just extra hungry that morning.  You are a growing boy, after all!

You had a busy week this week due to Thanksgiving.  Your Grandmama and Pops came up from Louisiana, and your Aunt Linda and Uncle Nathan came up from Savannah to visit, too.  This year, for the first time ever since Mommy and Daddy got married, we spent the majority of the day with your Grandma and your PawPaw.  Usually we go to your Great Grandma Jean's...not this year!  Daddy deep fried two turkeys for our Thanksgiving meal at Grandma and PawPaw's house.  It was sooo good!  You, of course, had formula and sweet peas.  Mmm.  We had a good time playing.  Your cousin Hannah had a good time playing with you, and your other cousin, Dallas, had a good time trying to figure you out.  Good times!

You still love jumping in your Baby Einstein Jumper!  You love to chew on your linky rings.  You love music, and you love to smile and have a good time.  You're such a good little boy!!  Mommy and Daddy are lucky to have you.  God was good when he chose us to be your parents.  We couldn't be happier to have you here with us!!

Here's to the rest of the year being as fantastic as the first half has been.

All my love,
Mommy
