You are such a big kid! You are six months old and already such an over achiever. In only six short months you've already grown to the size of a one year old. Literally. You are wearing 12 month clothing already and only one inch away from the 18 month sizing. We took you to your six month check up and you weighed in at 18 pounds 9 ounces (70th percentile) and 29 inches long (97th percentile). You grew an astounding 3 inches in 2 short months!
Your brother decided that you need all his night time cuddly things. So he piled them on top of you. hehe.You had two big physical accomplishments this month. The first is that you are rolling over from back to stomach, which means every once in awhile I have to go in to your room and roll you back over because you roll in your sleep and wake up mad. Silly monkey.
The second is that you are sitting up, and you are doing so well too! We've even put you in a high chair a few times when we go out to eat.
Your eyes are turning brown for sure, though are still not quite there. You've got your momma's long eye lashes. Your hair is staying reddish brown and a little coarse. You are just perfect. And I'm not biased at all.
We also took you on your first big road trip this month. We went to visit your Uncle Kenny for the first time, a three hour drive. We were worried about how you would do sleeping in a new place, you are such a creature of habit, but to our surprise you did great! And we had such a good time visiting Uncle Kenny!
It's amazing that I'm still learning new things about you, but everyday you astonish me in some way. Like when you are sleepy but just DO NOT want to close your eyes, you let me cradle you (yes, let me) and you take your soft, sweet chubby little hands and just play with my face, rubbing my checks and grabbing my lips. It's one of those moments I'll always treasure.
Another moment that I will always hold very dear is the newest trick I've learned to calm you down. You can be screaming and crying full force, bright red faced and if I cradle you and kiss you very softly on the eye lids, nose, forehead and cheek you just stop. You breathe slowly and have even fallen asleep. It's beautiful.
Love Always,
Momma
