6 months!!!

happy half birthday to my favorite lil man!  your smile lights up a room and i love watching your personality grow everyday!  you are sweet, snuggly, smiley, curious, love your milk and are very fond of your sister and daddy!  i look back at the christmas ornaments we made for family last year of your ultrasound picture when we announced we were pregnant and i look at you now, such a moose!  you are thriving and healthy and growing big and strong everyday!

this month you started to try some foods.  you don't seem very interested in them although you stare us down at meal time.  you cut two teeth a few days after you turned 6 months.  you still suck at naps and bedtime, but i am hopeful we may be turning a corner on that one.  you have been exclusively breastfed up until this point.  you can roll in all directions and can make your way across a floor.  you love to bite your toes.  you have found your voice and screach all the time!  you love the bouncer!  you can't take your eyes off of bowie and watch everything she does.  everytime you hear dads voice you get the biggest smile!  you love to be held and would sleep amazingly if you were in my arms.  you have blonde hair and olive green eyes.  i am anxious to see much you have grown at your check up in the new year!  size 12 month clothes and size 2 diaper (not for much longer).

you have stolen the hearts of your family and i can not possibly imagine life without my golden boy.

sometimes you are a rough ryder
sometimes you are a easy ryder
always my night ryder
and my ride or die

love you sweet boy!
