My little sweetheart turned six months old today. It feels a little bittersweet -- my baby is just growing up so fast -- yet I absolutely love seeing his personality start to come out. He is the happiest little guy. All we have to do is smile at him and immediately his grin stretches from ear to ear. His giggle is adorable and Luke and I just can't help but spend most of our time trying to get a good chuckle out of him. Although sometimes it is unintentional -- who knew cutting a pineapple could be so hilarious?
He's hit a few milestones lately:
1) He's getting better and better at sitting up on his own-- although when he starts to go sideways he just falls like a tree -- no arms out or anything.
2) He absolutely loves it when I stand him up and he gets the proudest look on his face. It's so cute.
3) He's willing to do tummy time for a few minutes at a time now, although he still despises it.
4) He's got two little chompers. Yep, his bottom teeth have cut through and they are sharp as razors. His favorite thing was to chew on my fingers, but unfortunately I had to put a stop to that. Although he's still a little sneaky about it. Yesterday he was sitting on my lap and he just dive-bombed my hand trying to get my finger in his mouth. I've been keeping his teething ring a little closer lately. :)
5) He's finally started to sleep better. Hooray! For a while there I wasn't sure I was ever going to get more than an hour and a half of sleep at a time!
Such a cute little guy, eh?
