Happy 6 Months Rowan!

Dear Rowan,

Happy half birthday Bubbas! I can not believe that you are already 6 months old. You are such a joy baby boy. Your smile is so infectious. Every morning you wake up cooing and you get so excited when you see me and your sissy walk in and get you. You save the best smiles for your sissy. You absolutely adore her.

Lets see what you have been up to this month.

You met Santa for the first time.



You didn't seem too impressed. You did manage to pull his beard pretty hard though.

This month we celebrated your first Christmas and although you really didn't have a clue what was going on you loved playing with the wrapping paper and bows. You would grab tissue paper and crunch it up in your hands and shake it back and forth. This was probably the highlight of your holiday. I think you liked the wrapping paper more than your presents.



Most days we spend on the floor playing. The other day you were on the floor and I walked out of the room and when I came back your sister was handing you a ball. You would grasp onto it and then chuck it and she would say, "Yay Ro Ro! Way da go! You did it!" and then go get the ball and bring it back to you. It was so funny to watch.



I don't know what it is with you, maybe its a boy thing, but you have had so many diaper blow outs. I can only remember one time your sister had one but you seriously crap your pants and nearly every time it goes up your back to your ears. Whenever I sit you in your jumper you turn beet red and shoot firecrackers out your bum and I am always so scared to change you and see that it has gone clear up your back. Just today you did the exact same thing and when I changed you I got poop all over the carpet. I didn't see it oozing out of your diaper until it was too late. So we stripped you down and gave you a bath. I secretly think you do this so you get a bath. You love bath time.



This month was the first month that you were sick. You threw up twice in one day and you had me so worried. One thing about you being sick made me stop and realize how lucky I am that you are healthy. Even when you were not feeling well you were still the best baby.



Right now you love being in your jumper. You jump so hard that sometimes I think you will jump right out of it and onto the floor! You love to play with your feet. You laugh really hard when we tickle you. You love to play peek-a-boo and you love when I read books to you. You want to grab everything you can and shove it into your mouth. You are a drooling fool. You are still a great eater and you are sleeping in longer stretches. You are finally sitting up and it is your favorite thing to do! You make every day amazing and you are getting so big baby boy. I just love every day of my life with you in it. And I love you too.


Love,

Mama
