Um ok... I'm going to need the clock to slow down now... this is all going by WAY too fast!
Oh little doodlebug... you are 6 months old and have brought a truly... intense... all new... meaning to the word LOVE. We are so in LOVE with you and every little thing you do! You are learning so quickly and it seems like every day you surprise us with something new! You still love with all the same things... doggies, mama, dada, lo lo, your bath, your jumparoo, food, your hands and now your feet. Your new way of communication is a grunt or a giggle... the days of ohhh and ahh are gone... You aunt Lo Lo and I swear you said "hey" (oops) the day before you turned 6 months (VIDEO). This month you were quite the little traveler... you went to Titusville for the first time where you got to meet your mimi's friends and family, Tallahassee for the first time where you got to meet your Great Grandmother Gigi and Macon Ga for one of mommy's best friends wedding where you got to meet lots more friends as well as Nana boos sister Aunt Janey, her husband Uncle Steve and your cousins Joey, Kelly, Cooper and Lily Kate... You are so friendly and fun to be around and love meeting a new face! At the beginning of the month you started with a little stranger anxiety but you quickly went through that phase and are back to loving all around you! Georgia was a funny little state... After a long day of traveling your Nana boo left her cell phone a few exits back so she dropped us off on the side of the road at a HOLE IN THE WALL restaurant... first thing when we walk in, a big country gentlemen says to us "well what year as they gawked about you :)
You remain completely un-interested in this rolling over thing but you are on the verge of sitting up on your own! Maybe you won't crawl, you will just walk?! You took your first spin in the grocery cart, lasted for about 30 seconds before you had a major meltdown but we will get there!
Also this month, we bought you a new bathtub since you are quickly outgrowing your whale infant tub... the first night you screamed, I had no clue why... the second night you screamed again... I thought shoot, have I ruined your love for water and now you are going to hate not only the bath, but the pool, the beach etc... well your ~~super~~ smart dada said he thought you were upset because I took you out of your whale tub, no way... OHHH yes way... the next night I put you back in the whale tub to show dada that wasn't why you were upset and sure enough you were back to your bath loving giddy self so we will remain in the whale tub until you tell us otherwise :) You love to grab our noses, give open mouth kisses, blow bubbles when you eat and play a game of peek a boo when possible. You are happy, content and rarely fuss and all around a perfect perfect baby! You are changing by the second... before I know it you will be walking, talking and into every little thing so for now as you lay sound asleep in my arms I thank God for the most amazing blessing there is... YOU!
Love you sweet baby!
Momma
