Happy Birthday!

Big boy/monkeypotamus/Ian-bo-be-un/sweet boy,

Mommy here. Taking over your blog to wish you the happiest of birthdays. You are 6 months old today! Where on earth have the past six months gone? It seems just yesterday that we were locking onto your blue eyes for the first time. And now? You are SIX MONTHS OLD. How is that possible? Since I know the next six months will fly by with equal haste, I will attempt to chronicle your current self:

You like...
...baths
...books
...chewing
...drooling
...flying (particularly at someone)
...kicking
...kissing (with an open mouth no less you stud)
...sleeping (THANK YOU!)
...smiling
...staring (your eyebrows are very expressive)
...swaddles (yes plural - two at the same time as you wriggle out of one)
...swimming lessons
...swinging (sometimes leaning forward in the swing)
...tickles (armpits primarily)
...twisting (you are never in the same place we left you in your crib)
...wiggly fingers
...wind chime toy

You do not like...
...heat
...long car rides
...loud noises (even a sneeze gets a startled look out of you)
...missing a nap
...pacifiers
...sucking
...teething (your 5th and 6th teeth are poking through right now)

You can...
...roll across the room
...sit by yourself
...move toys from hand to hand
...pull just about anything to your mouth
...giggle and smile

I love you baby!
