6 Months!

Each monthly blog post can be summarized by the following:

2 months: "Holy cow, you turned 2 months old this week. My how time has flown by."
3 months: "I cannot believe you are three months old!!! It's been a crazy whirlwind, but I'm so thankful it exists."
4 months: "How is it possible that it's been FOUR MONTHS since you were born?"
5 months: "Well well well, look who's FIVE MONTHS OLD! Where is time going?"

And guess what?

6 months: "I can't believe you're already a half-year old!"

And you're doing so many new things! You're starting to prop yourself up on your elbow and play with toys. You're starting to figure out that if you move your arms and legs, sometimes together, you can move. Usually, it's a backward movement. But still, it's awesome. You're rolling all over the place. You've become fascinated by Kinnick! It's so funny to watch! When he walks by, you follow him with your whole head. When he sits and looks at you, you smile back at him. It's hilarious.

You've started solid foods. Crazy to think about, but we've only done mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. But you seem pretty content with sweet potatoes. Sometimes, though, you just want a bottle.

Your diapers have gotten more smelly, your smiles have gotten bigger and your giggle even more like a little boy's. What an amazing feeling it is to see you grow up. Even more amazing to be able to put you on the floor with some toys and get some sh!t done in the kitchen! :)

I love you, James Thomas!
