Madelyn,
Happy 6 month birthday sweetheart. These past 6 months have been the most amazing, life changing, six months of our lives. We try to take pictures and videos and capture all the moments that we can, but, there are certain things and special moments that you just can't capture with a camera. Those are the moments that Mommy and Daddy will tell you about as you grow, and remind you of when your older.
A lot of the sweet special moments that we have with you are when you eat. When I get you out of your crib sometimes you immediately turn your face to mine and start sucking on my cheek, chin or nose! Sometimes you fall asleep while you are eating, either in your Daddy's arms or mine; you lay there looking so peaceful (sometimes snoring) and we just watch you for a few minutes before we put you to bed.
Your new thing now when we put you down or naps is what we like to affectionately call the, "Mariah Baby," (after Mariah Carey) this is where you hold your pacifier up to your mouth like a microphone, and squeal loudly as if you are recording a song. You have the most adorable voice, even the squeals are as cute as the, "ba, ba, da,da, la,la, ma,ma."
You're now sitting up so well on your own, during playtime you would much rather sit and play with your toys than lay down. You have also mastered rolling from your tummy to your back, sometimes you even do the, "rolling over," motion with your arms while you are in your exer-saucer or being held, it is very cute. You definitely have your favorite toys and Sophie the giraffe is your top toy! Other than Sophie you like toys that crinkle, squeak or anything that's small enough to fit in your hands so you can chew on it.
We have found out that you are ticklish; under your neck, your upper thighs, and your belly, all of these areas are spots that we can tickle and make you giggle. Your laugh is the most adorable noise; you sound surprised at first, and then just break out into a giggle that always makes us smile.
It's been about 3 weeks now that we have been making you veggies; so far you like avocado, zucchini (from the garden of course), beans, and you LOVE yellow squash! You dislike peas, and surprisingly are not a fan of carrots!
Your teachers at daycare tell us that you are very silly and make all of the other babies laugh; you must take after your father who was the class clown of 1996. We get pictures of you at school playing with your friends and being silly playing dress up with your teachers. When Daddy or I pick you up from school now you notice and hear when we walk in the room and great us with a huge grin!
We enjoy every single day with you Madelyn. Every day you bring something new for us to smile about and we are so lucky to have you in our lives.
xoxo
Mommy & Daddy
