6 Months



Dear Kallan,

Here's to half a year stinky! I can't believe it, it surely did not go by this fast when you were in my tummy.  As much as I hate to see it fly by however, I love seeing all the new things you learn and develop as you get older.  Each month has something new and different, and so much has change in the past 3 months. Let's see...your personality is blossoming to the fullest.  I have a feeling you're going to be a little crazy like your mommy. You laugh so much now, sometimes just to yourself, and in your sleep.  You talk and ba ba and da da and squeal all day long.  You even mimmick me and the sounds I make.  You eat a lot, although you seem to be done nursing from me, which is bittersweet because I just love nursing you.  You take mommy's milk so much better from the bottle, and you're quite the picky little eater even though we gave you all the veggies first. Formula is out of the question for you, which I suppose is a good thing :) You play with toys and hold things now and you're almost fully sitting up on your own.  Well you can stay sitting up when put in that postition but you can't actually sit up yet.  At five months, you starting taking a binkie. I'd given up on binkies and the one day you wanted to chew on something so badly so I put it in your mouth thinking you could just chew on it, and low and behold you liked it! In fact, you started sleeping better and longer with it.  You now will sleep 12 hours straight at night which has been very nice for mommy and daddy.  You love books. One of my favorite things is taking you to the library and reading to you, and it's a good thing they don't have a strict "quiet" policy because you are definately not very quiet. You love music and singing, and you do the funniest things.  Every day daddy and I just laugh at the things you do.  You do so well whenever we go places, and everyone just seems to love you.  I love spending my days with you, and love to teach you. I don't know how I got so lucky but believe me, I'm not complaining. :) So happy six months little man, me and daddy love you more than you'll ever know.

Love,

Mommy
