Dear Will,
You are 6 months old today! Where has the time gone? So quickly, you went from a tiny little newborn to an adorable, charismatic baby! Your smile brightens my day...there really is nothing better.
You had your 6 month appointment today and weighed in at 15 pounds, 6 ounces (13 percentile) and are 26 3/4 inches long (54 percentile). You are still "itty bitty", but to us your are HUGE!
I love that you are still gaining some chub...I especially adore your elbow dimples and roly poly thighs. I can just eat you up!
You are still wearing a size 2 diaper and 6 month clothing. It has been HOT this month so you are regularly in a onesie or a short sleeved romper.
You love being read to and prefer to grab the book and inspect the pages. The books that (we think) you like are "Little Blue Truck," "Hop on Pop," "Do you know how much I love you," and "I love you through and through." This month you are sitting on your own with the support of your hands at your sides or in front of you. Mommy likes to still have you sitting in between the boppy for more support. You like sitting this way too, especially when you are playing with your toys. You LOVE the ring stacker from Fisher Price, your stuffed animals "Benny Bear" and "Turt", Sophie the Giraffe, and of course your Baby Einstein Jumper. This month was a BIG one because you are finally able to reach the floor with your toes to jump rather than using Mommy and Daddy's wedding album below you. You go CRAZY in that thing! I think a trampoline is in your future buddy!
You are so vocal! You love to hear yourself "talk." A lot of "ooooo's, aaaaa's, goooo's, maaaaa's" are coming out of your mouth as well as rasberries. :) You mastered these earlier this month and it is hilarious!
You have always been smiley, but this month you have gone over and above the grin to a wide open bass fish smile. I LOVE IT! Your laugh comes from your gut and lasts a long time. We love tickling you, making funny faces, and throwing you in the air just to hear it! You still adore Riley and often watch her and start laughing...you are becoming braver and reaching out to touch her now.
This month you went on your first Houseboat Trip with the family! You did GREAT! Everyone loved holding you...I don't think your tiny bootie ever touched the ground. You napped very well and slept "Okay" at night. Half way through you would fuss so mommy just brought you in bed with us. This, of course, made you very happy. :)
Sleeping at home has been better as well. You take 2-3 naps a day and wake up 1-2 times at night still. In the middle of the month we witnessed your fine motor skills at work when you reached out for your pacifier in your crib and put it in your mouth!!!! Woo hoo! This was a huge milestone for all of us to celebrate!
You also are ready to crawl! You haven't moved yet, but you are able to get into the crouched position with knees bent and chest up. You stay in that position for a little while and then just fall to your tummy kicking your legs behind you.
Baby Will, you are still grabbing at everything. You have a STRONG grip! Unfortunately, mommy's hair is usually what you are after...OUCH!
These past 6 months have FLOWN BY! We cannot imagine our life with out you in it. You are a blessing to the entire family. Every day we pray over you and ask God to hold you close. I believe that he has mighty plans for you. You are precious. So so so precious! We love you!
