6 Months

 1/2 a year! This milestone always gets me...only 6 more months until you're a YEAR! So sad!! This last month was harder than most. But we managed to get through it. You and your brother got this cold thing called RSV and it really was no fun. You were not a fan of breathing treatments and it broke your Mama's heart when you'd have your coughing fits at 4 am. In addition to your first sickness, it was also your very first hospital experience when we took you to the ER. Here are the better things from this month...

**You LOVE the exersauser and johnny jumper {your Papa is in heaven!}. It's so adorable watching you bounce and bounce and giggle in them. 

**Teething? There were a few weeks this month where naps and nights were rough. :/ No teeth yet though.

**Sitting up really well for extended periods of time before leaning back to the ground

** Can roll over from back to stomach and stomach to back now with ease

**LOVE playing with toys and grabbing them during tummy time

**Moved into 9 month clothes

**Grab at whatever I'm holding now if I'm also holding you

**Pull out your binkie and play with it whenever your hands are free

**Mastered new noises: sucking in air while making noise, sticking your tongue out while making razzes

**Still such a great eater! Not easily distracted although you've started to grab your cover when we're in public. I have to hold your free hand to stay modest. ;)

**We now wear you facing front and on our back--sure makes life a bit easier when you're on my back!
