Letters 5 & 6

Hey Love Muffin,
Let me just say that I guess I am not one of those mothers that has the gene for sticking with an idea. Your month stickers are still in the top of your closet.... not used.

You my dear are keeping me busy! In month 5 you started babbling, finding your voice and we love it. You still HATE tummy time with a passion of 1000 fiery suns, and no matter how hard we try you just won't do it. In your 5th month, right around Thanksgiving, while watching the parade, you finally rolled over! It was so exciting, then you realized this action landed you on your most loathed tummy so you stopped. You will roll on to your side and stop there.

Month six was a hard month for you you started teething, your first two teeth (bottom front) popped through within days of each other December 16-19 and you were miserable. On top of the regular crumminess that teething brings you had an allergic reaction and an upper respiratory infection. Like I said it was a hard month for you but through the snot, cough and tears, you would smile and light up the room. This was also your first Christmas and you did wonderful! You actually did better than expected ripping the paper which made it fun for us. Santa went a little overboard considering you were only 6 months old but it was your first. We rang in the new year at your aunt and uncle's house and it was made very clear that you don't really like new places, at least to sleep.

You started your baby food and LOOOOOOOOOOOVE squash. Seriously squash is where it's at for you. You haven't liked fruit thus far just the orange veggies. You get so excited when we get you strapped in to the high chair, you kick your legs and just jabber away and smile. I knew you were ready for baby food, probably at 4 months, but we waited. I have a feeling you are going to plump up my darling.





I fall more and more in love with you each day and sometimes are just hit with this wave of disbelief and pure joy. I waited so long for you and sometimes I just think I am going to wake up from this dream and be back to trying.

Love you,
Mommy
