Mr. 6 Months

Dear Colton,

You are starting to get the hang of sitting up. A few more weeks and I think you’ll have it down! Lately you have been eating baby food and multi-grain (kind of like rice cereal) 2-3 times a day like a champ. It took you about 6 weeks to really get the hang of it, and now it is much easier to feed you. You like everything we’ve given you except the green beans. Foods you like are squash, carrots, applesauce, peas, bananas, and sweet potato.

You don’t mind being in your car seat which is surprising since your sister HATED it and that is all we were used to. You’ll just sit there and watch yourself in the little mirror waiting for us to get wherever we’re going and me take you out.

You have the cutest little boy screeches when you are playing with us, and have been sticking your tongue out a lot lately. Hopefully that doesn’t mean you’re already teething! Your favorite toy is a fruit snacks bag. Man you will play with that thing for hours without making a sound. You love the noise it makes, and how it feels when you try to chew on it.

You don’t really talk much because you just observe everything as it happens, but that’s ok. Oh, and you put EVERYTHING you get your hands on into your mouth so when I try to read to you we don’t get very far because all you are interested in is trying to stick the WHOLE BOOK into your mouth.

I can’t believe you are already 6 months old. The time has flown by, and we can’t imagine you not in our family. You are such a fun little boy and we love your little laughs. You are also very serious at times when you see things going on around you, and I love seeing your ‘serious face’ and trying to get you to laugh during it. We love watching you hit your milestones, and it is so fun seeing you and your sister interact. Jayde makes you laugh all the time, and I am excited to see your guys’ relationship form throughout the years. 

Love,

Mom
