6 Months

Dear Colin,

You are now six months. You weigh 20 lbs 11 ounces and are 27 inches long. You are a big boy wearing 12 month clothes but you are happy and adorable and that is all that matters.

You can now sit up all on your own and will sit for a long time and play with toys that we put in front of you.

You are not a huge fan of baby food but will tolerate it. You eat peas, green beans, sweet potatos, carrots, and apples.(Though you would not eat anything but peas until the last week or so which is after your 6 month birthday).

You have gotten better with sleep and only get up about 2 times a night. You usually eat and go right back to sleep though at 5:30 you get up for about an hour to an hour and a half then go back to sleep for 2 hours.

You enjoy watching what is going on around you. You have stopped nursing because you can't see what is going on so you get mostly bottles now.

You love your sister to no end and will do anything to watch her. In the car you will strain your neck to turn so that you can see her and smile at her. I love sitting in the front seat and listening to you and her play.

It is now summer and really hot outside so we haven't spent much time outside but again you love to be out there.

You also still love water. If you are crying and put you in the bath you instantly stop until we get you out.

Baby Boy I love you more than words can say and I can't believe you are already a half year old. I can't wait to see what the next half year and more holds.

Love,

Mommy
