6 Months Old

**I started this post on Bryson's 6 month day and just wrapped it up today. Nothing slow about me.

Dear Bryson,

Today you are six months old. It is hard to believe you are halfway to a year. It really does seem like just yesterday you, me and Daddy were still camped out in the hospital waiting to come home.

These past six months have been absolutely wonderful, even though they've gone by too quickly!! You are an amazing little guy and you truly are a blessing in our lives.

Here are just a few of the milestones and things you have learned in the past 6 months:

• You started smiling a smile that melts my heart every time I see it. Hardly a day goes by that you don't have your smile on first thing in the morning when you wake up :)

• You moved from the Pack n' Play in our room, to your crib in your own room.

• You learned how to roll both ways, although you very rarely roll from your tummy to your back.

• You can now sit up all by yourself for long periods of time without falling over.

• You had your first Christmas, New Year's and Easter.

• You went to your first Longhorn football game (the spring scrimmage).

• You have found your laugh - oh what a sweet laugh it is! It's very contagious too!!

• You started eating solid foods. So far you have had rice cereal, oatmeal, bananas, apples, avocados, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, peas and carrots. You like just about everything other than the rice cereal (can't blame you on that one).

• You love to swing and go for walks.

• You like to go to story time at the library.

Other than being quite the spitter and not a big fan of nap time, you are a very easy going baby and you are happy 99.9% of the time! Daddy and I are so proud of you and so grateful for the joy you bring to our lives!

I can't believe in just 6 more months we will be celebrating your 1st birthday! I love you, Boogie!!
