Six Months!!

Baby Boy It is nearly impossible that you are 6 months old!!

Over the last month you have grown and grown. You are now around 8lbs and depending on how far you stretch your measurements have you between 20.5-21 inches!!

You are entertaining the idea of sleeping through the night! Mommy has sure enjoyed the few 8-12 hour stretches of sleep you’ve given her this month!!

You’ve grown out of Pampers newborn diapers but are still fitting nicely in Huggies newborn. You’ve decided this month that that slight difference in shape/size between the diapers makes Pampers rub your little skin raw. Needless to say there will be no more Pampers.

You are primarily wearing newborn cloths. You have one or two outfits that say they are premie but are actually the size of your newborn outfits that we are attempting to get the most out of!

You’ve had a rough month tummy wise. You are on a new formula and tummy medicine. Because of these troubles you’ve spent most nights sleeping in your swing. We are hoping to transition you back to your cradle within the next week.

Tummy troubles aside you are still a pretty good baby! You are smiling and talking more and more. You are even recognizing more of your family members. You now know your Great Grandma and Great Papaw!!

It makes my heart gleam to watch your Great Grandma’s face light up when you talk to each other!! It is even better now that you are smiling back at her!! I don’t know if you will ever understand how much your interaction with her mean to our family! I LOVE hearing her call you by name!! She has a light in her eyes that I don’t know if I’ve ever seen.

Your Papaw thinks pretty highly of you also!! He calls Gammy DAILY to check on both you and I!! I just pray that you’ll be able to grow and love them as much as your Mommy!!

It hasn’t been the easiest the last 6 months but we wouldn’t trade you for the world! I can’t believe that I’m going to start thinking of a BIRTHDAY celebration over the next few months!!

I am soo thankful that the Lord was watching over us 6 months ago! The variables of your birth could have been much different. God has a special plan for your little man.

You’ve touched more lives in your short 6 months than I believe any of us will ever know. I am beyond proud to be your mother and thank the Lord daily for our Miracle!

(Ryan had his first taste of Raspberry on his Half Birthday! Daddy attempted to make our little man’s day but failed miserably with the execution! Ryan prefers the consistency to baby food but for right now his gag reflex gets the better of him when a spoon touches his lips! Needless to say he had a minor wardrobe malfunction at the restaurant! Mommy saved the day however! A dab on the finger and then on to the tongue works EVERY time!!)
