Dear G,
Today you are 6 months old. In those 6 months you’ve taught me so much about you, and also so much about your daddy as well as myself.
I’ve learned that you…
- love music and listening to Pink is your favorite (please someday tell me why). Also songs that you heard often in my belly make you pause to listen
- love to talk, especially to Monkey or Froggie. You tell them about your day when you go to bed and about your dreams when you wake up
- have a good sense of humor and know just when to smile when your daddy or I are being silly
- have a very intent stare
- love to swing things: your Gum Drop, Monster-dude… really just about anything you can wrap your fingers around
- like to do things your way on your own schedule and if you don’t get it, our ear drums hear about it
I learned that your daddy is an even better father and husband than I ever thought he would be. We’re even closer than ever before and it’s because of you.
I’ve learned that I have far more patience than I ever thought I would; that wake-ups in the middle of the night are rough… very rough… yet still manageable; that stinky diapers aren’t nearly as bad as I had imagined (although there’s still time for that to change); and that despite the fact that we spend all this time together I can’t wait to come home to you every day and spend every minute possible with you.
Thinking about you makes me smile, and I love all the little things about you. I love…
- the smile you give me when I wake you up in the morning
- the sound of your voice when you talk
- your big toothless grin
- the way your eyes sparkle when you smile
- the little white milk stain on your tongue
- how funny you look when your eyes go cross-eyed because you’re so intently focusing on an object close by
- the way your ears stick out under your beanie, making you look like an elf
- how you rub your hands together as if you’re plotting some world domination scheme
- the way your legs bounce when you’re excited
- the fact that you giggle in your sleep
- your constantly sticking out tongue
- the way your rub your Froggie or Monkey blankets on your face when you are ready for a nap
And so in honor of your 6mo birthday, here’s a little walk down memory lane:
