Dear Elliott,
Today you turn six months old. SIX MONTHS! Where has the time gone? Everyone tells us how adorable they think you are. You are so very alert and active now. I just want to squeeze you all the time. You’re so smiley and happy and giggly. I wish I was more like you. Life would be so much better!
You started to get another tooth come in towards the end of this month. It’s on your top gums this time. I think this one is hurting you alot more than the two that came up on your bottom gums because you are much more cranky lately. I don’t blame you. I bet that hurts! I anticipate the tooth will be all the way through come seven months.
You started solid foods this month. Well, that’s if you consider mushy rice cereal to be “solid food”. You don’t seem to mind it, but you LOVE to make a huge mess with it. No matter how hard I try to keep you clean while feeding you the stuff, you always end up with it all over your face. And usually my shirt. Pretty soon we are going to start introducing other foods to your diet like fruits and vegetables. I hope you’re not one of those kids who ends up hating vegetables. They are delicious and I am NOT JUST SAYING THAT.
Another accomplishment you have acheived this month is sitting up on your own. You can’t do it for long, only a few minutes at best, and you always need someone or something around to hold on to, just in case. You’ll get it soon. I don’t think it will be very long until you are able to sit by yourself, unassisted, and play with your toys. And I will squeal and how adorable you look.
It hasn’t snowed too much here this winter so I haven’t been able to get all the pictures of you in the snow that I so desperately want. But you know what, snow sucks. And I’m secretly happy it hasn’t stopped by for a visit. I bet you will love snow and make me take you out to play in it ALL. THE. TIME. Maybe then I will start to love it.
I hope you continue to be as happy and friendly as you are right now. You’ve made my life so much better and I learn something new from you every day. Thanks for that.
Love, Mama

I know, it’s going by real fast!
Thanks so much for the compliment
So hard to imagine that it’s already been six months. Time is flying by so quickly. I remember following your pregnancy blog. He is growing into quite the handsome little fella.
