Six Months Already?!

I can hardly believe that you are six months old already. The old adage is true; time does fly when you’re having fun. This past month, you have shown much more upper body strength, doing lots of push ups to look around while you’re on your tummy. You finally figured out how to roll from your tummy to your back and once you figured that out, you have been rolling all over the place. You even managed to roll under our leather coffee table one day when Daddy was working on the couch and you were playing on your activity mat.

One of my favorite parts of my day is returning home in the evening and being greeted by your enormous smile. It melts away any frustrations I’ve had during the day and makes everything better. You’re ever more curious nowadays, too – always turning to where you hear noise or activity. It’s been so fun to watch you explore the world around you. You interact a lot with your activity mat and love to grab for the octopus or turtle.

You’re developing an independent streak, but from time to time, you will rest your head on my shoulder just like you used to do when you were just a couple months old. I love those moments when I feel like you’re still my little boy and maybe, just maybe, I can freeze time for a little bit to remember the sweet gesture.

Each day, you amaze Daddy and me with your development and we find ourselves more in love with you than the day before, which we didn’t think was even possible. It’s like those song lyrics - I love you more today than yesterday; But not as much as tomorrow.
