6 Months

Hi All,
My babies are 6 months old. These are days when I wish I could stop the clock, or at least pause it just a little bit. It's a wonderful age, and sometimes I don't want it to end. But yet, we move forward with new milestones, new clothes, baby proofing, and there is probably a new car seat in our near future. And in case anyone is wondering, Drew is now 20 pounds and Bree is 16 1/2 pounds. A few words to my precious ones....

Bree - You are such a beautiful little girl. This week, Grandpa said you looked like a little china doll. We get so many comments about your beautiful eyes, something about the way you look at people is mesmerizing. There is a special sparkle in your eyes. You are my determined child. You have so much motivation for new things; right now it is crawling. You are not quite there yet, but it is not from lack of trying. You've got some great scoots across the carpet, and I know you'll be a pro in no time! You are an eager eater and like your highchair. Your latest little trick is an abundance of bubble blowing; it seems to be your favorite pastime! You are getting to be very mobile. You can roll your little body pretty much anywhere you want to be (and some places Mommy doesn't want you!). You like to look at Drew and grab him and yell in his ear. It's so cute. When you smile and laugh, it makes my heart happy.



Drew - You are still my patient one. Sometimes, I think you actually sense there is something more urgent going on around you, and you wait it out when necessary. You are so easygoing and enjoy everyone's company. You are also very good at entertaining yourself. Although, you love your toys. You are a huge fan of the jumperoo. You just get in there and do your thing - lots of smiles, hooting and hollering. It's so fun to watch. You may be the one with the musical talent in the family. Grandma says you like to sing along when she rocks you. Needless to say, you are a good eater! You are starting to hold your own bottle more and more. You have very good table manners in your highchair. You have mastered rolling in both directions (back to stomach and vice versa). But, you are very content to stay in one position and play with whatever is at hand. You are so quick to smile and laugh. You love tickles. I love seeing you laugh, because it is contagious.



I feel so blessed to have you! I love you very much!
