I'm tempted to be upset at myself for not savoring your infancy as much as I can. However, when I look back, I realize it's impossible to keep everything as perfectly in my memory as I wish I could. But the things I've held on to, I won't ever forget. You can count on that!
Thank you for six wonderfully challenging months of motherhood. I can't wait for the next six.
Month Six Highlights:
-You perfected your rolling skills. Front to back, back to front. It ain't no thang. However, you still like to pretend you're stuck sometimes just so I will come get you. And it always works... Sucker is my middle name!
-Guess how your sleep is? Sucky? Great guess! If anything, it's worse, because you have started moving in your sleep more which makes you nock into me or your father and then you wake up. And if you don't wake up I sure do. Thanks... We've brought your pack n play back out and hope to slowly transition you into it over the next couple of weeks. We'll see though... My breath is not held.
-You can hold yourself up on the coffee table, ottoman, and couch, but you get excited, jump and then fall down. It's dangerously cute!
-You can scoot backwards by pushing up on your hands. But when you aren't doing that, you push up on your toes (which lifts your little booty in the air) and jam your face into the ground. Hopefully you learn to do both at once soon.
-Your favorite trick is to bang toys as hard as you can on your high chair tray, then throw them on the ground... Making your dad and me pick up ten thousand toys a night.
-You nap in your car seat very well, but have come to hate being put into it. However, a little music making toy or song and dance by your father distracts you long enough to get you buckled.
-You got your first ear infection and bout of bronchitis... It was no fun. So much coughing and fussing.
-You also got your first tooth!!!! It's still low on your gums but does damage to my tender fingers! And I think it's a shark tooth. Because it is pointy....
-Ash Wednesday mass at daddy's school was great! You got your ashes and then promptly wiped them off with your crazy hands...
-You celebrated your first valentines day and went to your (and my) first ordination Mass! Congrats Br. James!
-You helped mama and daddy celebrate our birthdays! Your gifts were great! You got me a fussy baby with a cold and you got your daddy a fussy baby with a tooth coming in! You're so sweet!
-When you're sitting and want to reach a toy far away, you kinda do this splits thing with one foot behind and one foot in front of you. I think you'll start crawling from a sitting position instead of on your belly.
-You love when people clap for you! And you try super hard to emulate it but usually just end up waving your hands around like a crazy woman.
-Oma and grandpa came to visit for a few days over valentines day weekend. It was a blast as always!
Stats: the doctors office messed up your appointment time so we have to wait until next week to get your stats... I'm not angry at all....
-Weight: 20 lbs 2 oz. 95%. Your comfort zone.
-Height: 27 1/2 in. 90%.
-Head Circumfrence: 17in. 70%. Finally your head is catching up to your thighs!
-Shots: Daddy got to see you get shots for the first time. He agreed it was no fun but also that you get really cute when you start crying after a delayed reaction!
-Comments from Dr. G: You're still way cute and super friendly! She's always amazed how developmentally ahead you are in certain areas and thinks you'll be an early walker for sure!
