Noah,
You are six months old today. I seriously feel like it was just last week that I had you. You have already grown into such a loving little boy. I never knew that I could love someone or something as much as I love you. You make every single day so much better. Even when you are a little grouch, I love you.
You can officially sit up by yourself now. Sometimes you are still a little wobbly, but you are doing so good! The past few days you have been trying to get up on your knees. Please don't do it yet. I'm not ready for my little boy to be crawling. You absolutely LOVE to jump in your johnny jumper. You have been a pro at since you were about 3 months old. The doctor was amazed at how strong your legs are. Speaking of that, you just recently figured out your walker. Now you can maneuver yourself around the kitchen and even go backwards when you get stuck. Today when you were in your walker you opened the kitchen cabinet. Luckily, the walker was in the way so you couldn't get anything out. But I swear you are the smartest boy in the world.
You think its so funny to pull my hair. And sometimes you try to eat my face. I pretend that you are trying to kiss me though. I cannot describe the feelings I get when you wrap your arms around my neck. You are so sweet to me. I know one day I will have to beg you to hug me, but I know that will not be anytime soon. You love bath time more than anything. You could soak the entire bathroom with your splashes if you wanted to.
Today you had green beans for the first time. The doctor told me to mix it in with cereal, but you didn't like that idea. I think you liked the green beans, but you acted like you were disgusted just like you do with everything that goes in your mouth the first time. I'm sure you will be a good eater, just like your daddy.
Even though we don't see Daddy every day, I hope that you know he thinks about you ALL the time and talks about you even more. He works so hard for us every day. You should be proud of him. You always get so excited when you see Daddy. It makes me want to cry every single time I see you guys laughing together. You both mean so much to me.
We don't have this book yet, but I am going to go buy it as soon as I can. These have always been my favorite lines from any children book and it just so happens to pertain to YOU now--
"I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be."
-Robert Munsch from Love You Forever
Happy half birthday my sweet baby boy. I love you always & forever.
Love,
Mama
