6 month update

You are six months old today! Half a year has flown by, and I feel like rewinding to the beginning and starting all over again. Every day I spend with you is pure bliss. Every place we visit you make a new friend because your smile is so infectious. Today a lady in the waiting room at the doctor's office said she loved your eyebrows because they always appear to be dancing with excitement. I love it best when you get the least likely people to smile at you, like the previously grumpy stranger walking behind me on the street. I caught you making big smiley faces over my shoulder from your stroller, and I was rewarded with catching grumpy man making funny faces at you. Babies really do bring out the best in people.

Your likes:
Everything. You love life, and everyone in it with your whole little body. I hope your dad and I have a lot to do with that. You still love Sophie the giraffe, your muslin blankets and your life factory teething rings, but really anything we allow you to chew on is fair game these days. Two teeth have sprouted this month, and you love to test then out on daddy's fingers. Luckily you have only tested them out on mommy accidentally a couple times. Ouch. You started rice cereal this month and you love it. We can't wait to slowly introduce you to other foods that we love too.

Your dislikes:
Dairy and soy. Mostly it's how your wee body reacts to them that has you sad and in pain. We only wish we could have figured out sooner that those foods were causing you such distress, but we are happy we now know why you had such tummy problems.

Happy half-birthday buddyboy!!!
