6 Months!
We
didn’t get to do anything super exciting for your half birthday as mommy got
food poisoning from lunch that day. We
did have so awesome house guests for the weekend. Mommy and Daddy’s friends, Laura and Mandy
came to visit us for a few days from Florida.
I think that your Christmas more than made up for it though! Over the last month you have learned to sit
up completely independently, you “creep” or what mommy calls “worm” to get
yourself around and are very fast at it.
You really are enjoying the ability to transition from sitting to
crawling and back. It often preoccupies
you and so at times you don’t move very far because you insist on sitting and
then crawling and then back over and over again. You had your first road trip for
Thanksgiving.

We
went to Pensacola, where grandma and grandpa Ozburn and aunt Kristen live. It was a wonderful trip and you got to go to
the beach for the first time! It was
really cold though so you weren’t all that excited about it.
We
got to stay at a beautiful hotel on Pensacola Beach because grandma and grandpa’s
house is in the midst of a kitchen remodel and their furnace wasn’t
working. Momma was in heaven!! Views of the beach and sunshine! It was the most wonderful thing for me.

You
have decided that you want to get into absolutely everything and so are
exhausting your momma for sure. You
absolutely love people and are such an extrovert! You are certainly the opposite of me but that’s
all right. I think you would be happy if
you were always in a crowd of people and are happy to let just about anyone
hold you. You are talking so much and
every day I think there are new sounds you have discovered. We started a little bit of food before we
left for Thanksgiving and I am trying to be consistent with feeding you
regularly now. Its not always easy
because you aren’t eating at the same time as we are yet to it takes some extra
effort. You have loved the Christmas
tree and particularly love to pull the bottom branches down and let them fling
back up. This has caused all of the
ornaments that mommy strategically placed on the bottom to need to be moved as
they all have hooks and would be dangerous for you to get a hold of. It’s a learning curve for you and mommy and
daddy. Baby proofing is always in flux
as there are new things you discover that seem like fun but in fact are not for
you. You are growing so fast and seem to
want to always be bigger than you are. I
often have to remind myself that your only 6 months as I often think your ready
to take over the world! Mommy and Daddy
love you so much and honestly don’t know what we would do without you in our
lives. You are such a joy and pleasure
to parent. You are almost always happy
and content and remind me to enjoy the simple things in life a little
more.
I love you, monkey!

Christmas and New Years were also a
wonderful time but I will write a separate post about those. Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday and
were able to spend it with the people you love!!
