You're six months old today. Boy the time has flown by! Here are some of your recent highlights:
1. Your 3rd tooth cut today. Let me set the scene for how I found out. Your Dad picked you up from daycare around 2 pm, he sent me an email around 2:40 pm that said "I got home and daddy got me a cold one, life is good. :)" He attached two pictures of you with some of the teething rings I had put in the fridge. He then noted "He has a tooth coming in his top left." Wow buddy, you have 3 teeth now at 6 months. No wonder you've been whining lately.
2. You give kisses (well Oliver kisses). I'm known to give you repeated kisses on your cheek several times a day. You're now grabbing my face or neck and planting your face on my cheek. After a couple days of this, I figured out that you're giving me kisses back. It melts my heart. Thanks for all the love buddy.
3. You're eating two meals of solid foods a day. Right now, you enjoy a fruit with oatmeal in the morning and at night you enjoy rice cereal with a vegetable. I think you prefer the veggies and I think it's because they are not as sweet. You certainly did not get your mom's sweet tooth.
4. Everything your Dad or I have in our hands, you want. You reach for it and once you grab on, there's normally a tug of war that ensues. If you win this tug of war, whatever you've got in your hands will head straight for your mouth.
5. You have aspirations to fly. It's because of these aspirations we are thinking you are done with the bouncy chair and we must find something else for you to sit in regularly. You see, when you're in the bouncy chair you kick your legs so much that your butt will hit the floor and your body has started to lift off the chair. Let's save this flying for another day buddy, we'd rather not have you launching yourself into our furniture.
6. Each day that we get to spend with you, we grow more in love. These last six months have really changed our lives and it's now hard to remember a time before you arrived. I still remember that day like it was yesterday, the feelings I had as I went through the motions of preparing for you to arrive, and then hearing you cry for the first time. Thinking about it still brings tears to my eyes as I had dreamed of that day for a very long time. Since you've arrived, you continually teach me to love even more unconditionally and to stop to enjoy the little things in life.
