i can't even believe how quickly the time has passed since you entered into this world and left an impression on my life that will go with me wherever I go. you are almost six months old and very eager to take part in everything that goes on around you. although you have barely learned how to sit up on your own, you wave your arms and legs around in anticipation of the day that you will run along behind your big sister. she is the one who excites you the most. in fact, we heard you laugh right from your gut the other night as you watched her jumped around on pillows. your baby laughter was so contagious!
some very interesting things about you...you grunt all the time! it's your language and you actually have different grunts for different emotions. sometimes you grunt when you've spotted something outside and are fascinated by it. we also hear you grunt while tossing in your sleep. when you interact with us, you grunt and squeal with excitement. and you're so cute because you don't like to be left out of anything. you squeal if we're eating in front of you and don't share it...even though you don't have any teeth! it's almost like you are a two-year-old stuck in a five-month-old's body--you have so many things to do and places to explore but not quite the means to do so! in time, my sweet little boy...
some things that we've learned about you in these last few months is that you have a very sweet and loving disposition. I love picking you up and having you nuzzle your head and body into mine, just wanting to feel the love. you've also just begun to recognize people that you enjoy spending time with...you wave your arms, smile and talk when you see them approaching!
we've also learned that you are an outdoorsman...yes, just a couple of weekends ago we took you to Lake Mohave on Auntie and Uncle Steve's boat. we took you out several times and you were only content when the boat was moving. you even looked like a sailor, watching the water move around the boat and you didn't even cry when you got sprayed in the face! the outdoors also tend to have a calming effect on you...your daddy takes you outside whenever you start to fuss and just being in his arms, watching him water the lawn calms you immediately.
we are so overwhelmed by the sweet aroma your little life has brought into our lives in such a short amount of time...you have also made Madeline a proud big sister (even when you pull her hair!)...she loves you so much (but not more than she loves the color pink).
