Owen 6 months

Sweet baby boy,

You are now 6 months old!!!  Oh how the time does fly. I cannot believe you are half of a year old!  You weigh 17. 5 pounds and you are  27 inches long. 

I am back to work full time, and we are both adjusting pretty well.  I miss you a lot, but we still spend a lot of time together and you really like Mrs. Shelly and Mrs. Patsy.  They play with you a whole lot when mommy is at work. 



You are sooo close to crawling and I think it will take place any day now.  You will get on all four's, scoot, fall, and then try again.  You get the most serious look on your face when you are practicing because you are concentrating so much.  You are also closer to sitting up on your own.  Your daddy says that you fold yourself in half.  You will sit for a few seconds and then either fall forward or to your side. 


You are still eating 4 times a day and 3 of these meals are combined with cereal and/or babyfood.  You absolutely LOVE bananas and sometimes I wonder if this is because I ate a lot of these when I was pregannt with you little one.

You are starting to make a lot of new noises.  You sound like a sick dinosaur when you are tired or pooping and it makes us laugh so hard. 



You are definitely starting to teethe and you are wanting to put everything in sight into your mouth.  You like to suck on frozen fruit inside of a teething toy or pacifiers.  This is funny because since you were born you have never liked pacifiers.  We still don't let you fall asleep with them, but we let you suck them to help soothe your little gums. 



You giggle when we tickle you or when we kiss your belly or your neck.  That is the sweetest sound in the world.  You are such a sweet boy and we love having you in our lives precious baby.
