Dear Grant–6 Months

Buddy Bear, I’ve never been so late…but you’ve never kept us so busy! Six months was such a big one. We went some fun places and spent a lot of time together. You got SO big and have even started learning some new baby tricks. We love being a family of four and are so happy to have you with us!

You are still such a go with the flow sweetheart! You tag along on adventures but love being a homebody too. I love that you’re cuddly. We’ve never had a cuddle bug, and we are soaking you up! Highlights this month have been eating all the foods. You haven’t yet met a food you didn’t like.

We went to a fun outdoor food and art festival this month, and you just tagged right along with no problems. In your stroller, in your carrier, you’re just easy peasy. As long as you’ve got a bottle and a cuddle, you are good to go.

Six months brought us lots of fun milestones. Truly expert sitting and playing, lots of letting us know what you want…and don’t want, and some sweet babbling that I hope becomes “Mama,” sooner rather than later!

When I read back through our last update, I was hoping for you to start chunking up really fast…and boy did you ever! We had quite a few people mention this month that they didn’t realize how big you are. You (and your head) also dwarfed a couple of sweet baby one-year-old girls… I always said I wanted babies like Sea Monkeys…start little and get big fast. Wish. Granted.
