6 Months- May 8, 2014
Dear Henry,
Half of me can’t believe yesterday was your half birthday, the other half can’t believe it’s only been 6 months since you arrived. In a way, it feels like you’ve always been part of our family.
This month you became a scooting, grabbing, kicking baby on the move. Well, you’re trying very hard to be on the move. You’re not crawling quite yet, but there are few things that come between you and the toy you want to hold and chew.
Your sister is the one person that will often come between you and your toy of choice. She has taken to taking what you want to hold. Often you take this in stride and keep smiling, but occasionally you have been letting out a squawk of opposition. Since you were born we only heard cries from you for one reason, you wanted to eat! Now, you might get frustrated reaching for something, or you just want someone to come smile at you. I warned Charlotte you will probably be bigger and stronger than her soon.
Your head is giant. I’m sorry to tell you that, son. It’s true. You get it from your grandfathers. I’m having trouble finding baby hats to fit your massive noggin. That’s not the only thing big. The rest of you is large and in charge too. We giggle at your delicious baby rolls.
I’m treasuring these days of you napping on me. I know they are fleeting. I love feeling your warmth and smelling your sweet baby smell. You like little naps with Daddy in his chair.
I’m excited for the next 6 months and years to come with you. You are our special, smiley little guy. You make our family whole. Happy Half Birthday! I love you, my sweet, sweet boy.
Love,
Mama
