Happy 6 Months

Where has the time gone!  It seems like only yesterday I was getting settled in the hospital to meet our little man for the first time and now he is 6 months old.  These 6 months have been the best adventure.  I fall more and more in love with Holden each day.  Seeing that sweet face each morning just gives life so much more meaning.  I cannot wait to see how he grows and changes each day.  I wish so much for him and pray that all his dreams come true.  Here are just a few things that you are in to at 6 months:

• You are definitely not shy, you will smile at anyone or any thing.  Especially cute girls
• You've been rolling over for a few weeks now, thankfully, cause those nights of waking up every few hours when you couldn't get turned back on your back were not fun! You're a tumbleweed now.
• Quite time at our house is a thing of the past, you want to be heard.  You squeal, shriek, growl and laugh all the time.  Especially when mommy or daddy tickle you.  But, you have manners, you only share your loudest tones at home, but let the cat get your tongue when we're anywhere else.  Not that I'm complaining.
• Your motor skills are getting more and more precise.  You can grab almost anything and pull as tight and hard as possible.  You love toys that make noise when you push and roll on them.
• You're starting to sit up better on your own, but face plant rather quickly still, but we're working on it.
• Siting in your highchair has given you a new found sense of empowerment.  You think if you bang loud and fast enough that mommy will bring your cereal quicker.  We'll see how that works out for ya.
• We're still only eating rice and oatmeal cereal, but are super excited to see what Dr. Kim has in store for us at our 6 month check-up on Tuesday.
• You had your first hair cut and you did so well.  Of course, Bree had nothing to do with your attention being on anything but her.  Such a ladies man already.
• You really haven't started teething yet, but you slobber and drool like crazy, so I'm sure its only a matter of time.

Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you little man.  We ask each other every day and thank God that we were lucky enough to be chosen as your parents.  You are such a blessing in our lives.  Looking forward to many more milestones like this.
