Happy 6 months, baby boy! The time has flown and before you know it, you'll be a whole year old! You bring so much happiness into our home and we wouldn't change a thing about you.

| One of my favorite pictures of the two of us |
Here are some things that you currently love:
-Splashing!!! I hold you on the side of the tub when it's full of water and you just kick away. You sit still for a few seconds, growl and squeal, then you suck your bottom lip in, concentrate and kick and kick and kick. You get water everywhere and it is so cute to watch! (You wiggle so much in your bath that I haven't ever given you a single bath by yourself because we need more than two hands.)
-Moving. You haven't ever been a fan of just sitting or laying still for very long. You like to be on the move. You like to be carried and constant bouncing. You are overflowing with energy.
-People. You LOVE socializing with people and it makes me so happy. I am a bit of a hermit sometimes, so I am glad that you enjoy being out and about. You have a new game where if I am holding you and someone else smiles at you, you get all shy and turn your head into my shoulder and kick and laugh. So cute, little one.
-Sucking on anything, but your favorites are anything plastic, fabric, or momma's fingers. You love exploring by immediately bringing anything to your mouth, no matter what it is. Tonight you scooted on your bum/back on the floor over to the coffee table leg and started gnawing on it! haha it was so funny!
And just a few extra tid-bits about you:
-So far you have tried oatmeal (which you're growing accustomed to) bananas, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, and today you had a fruit medley mix. The mashed potatoes and gravy were your favorite.
-Your first tooth is coming in on the bottom. I can see just the tip of it, but I have a feeling it might take its sweet time growing in. Sorry buddy.
-You love the sound of your voice and you aren't afraid to use it! You yell for a good majority of the day and you love to talk. Your talking is starting to sound more and more like words, such as, "momma," "dadda," "hi," and once you said, "I am Tom." (Did we give you the wrong name?!)
-You can throw some pretty wicked tantrums. You push off with your feet and yell and arch yourself backwards. It's pretty impressive. You make up for those moments with your smiles. You have the BIGGEST smiles and are such a happy baby. If we smile at you, we are always guaranteed a smile back. You have such a big personality and it definitely shines through.
-You love singing. If you are ever upset or won't finish your bottle, singing "you are my sunshine" will cure the blues.
You are such a joy to be around Owen, we love you so much! Keep growing strong, big guy.
Love, mommy and daddy
