Happy Half Birthday, Mia

Dear Mia,

Today you are 6 months old - hard to believe. First of all, I want you to know how much pure JOY you bring to our lives every day. You are such a sweet and easy baby, full of smiles and giggles. It's hard not to just smile every time I look at you.


You've been busy learning and growing (exact weight and length measurments to come after official appointment on Thursday). You learned to roll from back to tummy on Father's Day and have been rolling all over the place ever since. You are very close to being able to sit on your own - in the next few weeks I'm sure you'll be an official "sitter." You really love to make raspberries with your mouth, and you can certainly yell quite loud when you want us to know you are unhappy. You are very social and are happy to smile and "talk" to anyone who looks your direction. You continue to get Mommy up at night :( ... usually only once, but there are those nights here and there that you will surprise us by sleeping through, or waking up several times.


In the last week we have started giving you foods other than rice cereal. You love your food and are happy to try new things. Sometimes if we are eating and you aren't, you will let us know that you are NOT happy about it! Your first food other than cereal was avocado, followed by bananas, and then sweet potatoes. You like it all, but the sweet potatoes seem to be your favorite so far.


You are so cute right now because you are absolutely OBSESSED with your daddy. You just adore him. If he's in the room, you just want to look at him, smile at him, and let him know that you want his attention. Your favorite form of entertainment is your big brother - you love to watch him ... and he loves to make you laugh.

You light up our lives ... we LOVE you!
Love,
Mommy
