Dearest Boo Boo,
You are half a year old! 6 months! We can't believe it! We are so blessed to have you in our lives. You have truly developed into your own little person. You light up when Mommy or Daddy enter the room, and you demand that we hold you. You laugh at the silliest things - Mommy and Daddy can spend hours and hours just trying to get you to laugh. It is the best sound in the world. You are also trying to sit up on your own, and when you're on your tummy you try with all your might to crawl. You're not quite there yet, but I'm sure you'll be mobile really soon. Right now, your favorite food is still leche de madre but we will start you on solids very soon. You know, we are very proud to be able to say that you were exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of your life. Especially after the rough start and Mommy's cancer, we never thought we'd last this long! But you were such a champ - and we made it this far. You take 3 or 4 naps a day, and (generally) sleep pretty well at night. Ever since you've become more aware of your surroundings, it has been a little more difficult getting you to go to sleep at night (we understand - everything is so interesting!). Daddy likes to strap you in the Ergo, and then he walks around and rocks you to sleep. It is Daddy's favorite time of the day. We're so glad and grateful that you're happy and healthy! Keep up the good work!
Love,
M+D
