Today you are SIX months old!!! I can't believe it has been 1/2 a year ALREADY... OK... NOW... even though you still don't sleep through the night, I'm ready for time to stop.
I love that you can sit up by yourself now. We still have to put pillows around you in case something above you catches your eye but you are able to sit unassisted for up to 30 minutes. You LOVE it! The day before you turned 6 months you figured out the "jump" feature of your excesauser from Uncle JJ and Auntie J and you think that is just SO much fun! That day you also learned the new trick of SPITTING all the drool you seem to have acquired because... you are cutting teeth.
That has not been much fun here... because I think you really turned it on when the heat kicked in. So you spent a couple of 90+ degree days hot and in pain. It was not fun for anyone but least of all you... with the cooler weather and a whole lot of distraction you seem to do better. You LOVE the A/C that Daddy put in your window at MIDNIGHT this past week and you are SO blessed to HAVE a Daddy that would do that for you :)
You are still in your size two diapers and I think we are there for a little while longer since they are supposed to go up to 18 lbs :)
A typical day for you is getting up around 5:30ish AM and hanging out with Dad until 6:30 or so... then you have something to eat and a little cereal. You like to play on the floor or in your jump-a-roo/excesaucer until about 8:30ish when you are ready for a nap. Sometimes this goes well but often it doesn't... :( You are REALLY not a fan of sleeping the past month or so... you eat again around 10 or 11 and we go outside if the weather is nice, or the library with your friends, Bible Study every other Tuesday and recently we've done the park with Aunt J.T. and Dani. You really had fun with that!
You eat again around 1-3 and have another rest somewhere in there... you are typically up for the afternoon by 3ish and head to bed after cereal and more milk by 6:45. You like? to get up 1-2 times a night and sometimes we think it is your teeth, sometimes we have NO IDEA why you are awake. It can take anywhere from 5 mintues to 3+ hours to get you back to sleep and those are NOT fun times... for you OR Mommy. Your "strong" personality is coming out more and more each day but I am LOVING the positive side when you have to be LOUD and make things crash together and I can get you to giggle. You LOVE words that begin with the letter "W" and will typically give a belly laugh for them. You also love it when we hit the bottom of your feet and in our best Uncle L voice say "run and run and run and run". That most def. gets smiles. You have also learned and can copy saying "dadadadadada". We are working on you finding your nose and Mommy's nose and you think the "beep beep" when we find it is the best part.
Daddy is STILL your favorite and I STILL love it :) but Sophie comes in a close 2nd. You are also def. starting to recognize people and it is neat to see you build relationships with your family, Dani, Auntie J.T. and the other friends that I let (hee hee) you hang out with. We are getting SO excited to spend the summer together and now with the A/C in your room I think you'll realize things just WON'T be any better than having Mommy and Daddy at your beck 'n call :) hee hee hee
