Letter to Colin - 6 Months

Colin,

Yesterday you turned 6 months old.  I want to congratulate you on not being squashed, drowned, or smothered by your 23 month old sister.  I think it really helps that you're only about 6 pounds lighter than her and too big for her to pick up.

When we brought you home from the hospital you were a tiny little thing swimming in your newborn clothes.  Now you're a big chunky baby who can roll over, sit up, and grab Kaida's hair!  You've changed so much so fast that I can hardly remember how tiny you were.



You like physical comedy, so if we can get Kaida to dance around for you you'll giggle and squirm around. 
You sleep really well and almost always have (thanks!). 
You love to jump in the jumper. 
You just started to sleep on your tummy but usually you end up half on your side half on your stomach, sucking your thumb.  You love that thumb!



All of that is fantastic but I've got bad news about your ears.  It looks like you got Poppy's ears.  Not Poppy's ears now, Poppy's ears when he was little.  Don't worry, if that's the case, you'll grow into them when you're a teenager.  In the meantime they'll stick out a lot but I still love them.

You just started eating cereal and so far you're not really impressed.  Most of it just mushes out the same way it went in.  We'll start some fruits and veggies soon and I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually.



You like the bath, the cats (Tonic especially since he'll let you play with his ears and tail), your sister, sitting up, and being naked.

You don't like being alone, having your nose cleaned, and being stuck (in a too small shirt, leaned over in the high chair, between two pillows, or on your stomach).

I'm amazed with how quickly you've grown and I can't wait to see how you'll change and grow over the next 6 months and all the years after that.

I love you.
Mommy
