Six Months Old

My sweet little Eli-

Can you believe that we have been together six months already?

What is even more unbelievable to me is that a little over a year ago you weren't even part of our lives. Somehow, looking back, it seems as if you have always been part of our family. You belong with us. We love you.

We have grown to love you more and more with every passing day. When we first brought you home from the hospital you didn't do very much (but you were sure demanding!). So much has changed since then! You are our little Mr. Personality.

You are such a sweet boy. There is definitely a reason that your daddy calls you Mr. Wiggles & Giggles. You have always been a mover! When you were small and we put you in your bouncy seat you would kick your little legs and get yourself rocking. Now you have already figured out how to roll yourself all over the house. I never know where I will find you! You are even working on crawling and sitting up... I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. You are growing so fast!

I love that you are so cheerful and happy... I love to hear you laugh! Ever since you figured out how, you have been showing us your adorable dimpled smile. Soon you will have some teeth to go along with those dimples. That will be nice, especially since it will mean less waking up at night, diaper rash, irritability, and a little less stuffing everything in sight into your mouth!

Thank you for being so good-natured about enduring your big brother's attentions. He loves you and sometimes doesn't quite know how to show his excitement gently. I can already tell that the two of you are going to be best buds.

We love you buddy. We are looking forward to the milestones and moments to come.
