I'm 6 months!!!



Wow, I can hardly  believe that I'm 6 months old today!  Life at my house is crazy, loud and very entertaining.  I love watching my brothers.  They are always playing with each other and sometimes they even play with me.  I don't need a lot their attention, but I love when they look at me.  That's all I need to give them a belly laugh.  

My days are spent with mommy shuffling me around from one room to another.  Sometimes I play in my jumperoo, sometimes sit on the floor or in a bouncy seat, but my favorite is to sit on mommy's hip.  I can usually fuss a little and she's pick me up and carry me around while she does her "chores."

I still love my baths and prefer to bathe without my brothers in the tub.  They usually splash, spit and pee in the water.  It's not as fun with them.  I really love to be in just a diaper.  My brothers are always running around in just diapers, I don't know why I can't?!  I  love when mommy tickles me and daddy "tries" to scare me.   I also like my car seat and stroller rides because I can usually get in a good nap.

I'm a really good sleeper.  Well, at least for night time.  Mommy decided that I didn't need to be swaddled anymore, so she told me to "tough it out" and let me cry.  Boy, did I cry!  But now, a couple days later, I just lay in my crib and talk myself to sleep.  Mommy's way more fun than taking naps,  so sometime I cry just to see if she'll come running.  Guess what?  Sometimes she does.  So it's worth all the effort of crying!  The same time I cried for not being swaddled, my brothers cried for their binkys.  Mommy said if I was going to cry, she might as well take their binkys away and let them cry too.  It was a rough couple days!

I can sit up.  Okay, well, I can sit for like 5 seconds.  Mommy says "any day now" I'll be sitting and playing more.  My two bottom teeth have come through.  That didn't hurt too much, but since they came in, I haven't had much of an appetite.  I see my doctor tomorrow so I'll have mommy post an update on my six month stats.  Wow, before you know it, I'll be turning one!
