6 months

Dear Benjamin,

You are 6 months old (and a few days) and its amazing, seems like you just got here yesterday and in other ways it seems like you have been here forever. Daddy and I cannot imagine our lives without you! You are currently up and jumping in your jumper because you decided that sleeping from 8:30pm-9:30pm was good enough and its now time to play. So we are waiting for you to get sleepy.

You have a wonderful laid back personality and love talking to people you know. You laugh all the time and are interested in so many things. You love watching the cars go by and finger painting (yes daddy thinks mommy is crazy for a 6 month old to be finger painting, but you love it!) You still slam your legs down on your mattress at night and you have learned to put your paci in all by yourself. You can hold a bottle and easily turn onto your side, sometimes your belly in the middle of the night. You LOVE your jumper and have figured out how to swing in it. You love anything that makes noise and thinks peek-a-boo with the shower curtain and daddy after a bath is the funniest thing ever! You are in love with the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, you laugh every time I read it to you or sing a verse when you are crying.

Baby, there are going to be so many changes and so many wonderful things happening, just sit back and hold on; mama and daddy will be with you all the way!

Love you to the moon and back,
Mama and Daddy
