Half a year!

Dear Jameson,

I cannot believe you are 6 months old today.. I know I keep saying "I can't believe..." but seriously!!

You are the biggest blessing in SO many lives right now, I can't wait til you can truly know how loved you are, though I doubt you ever really will.

Your smile seriously melts anyone who looks at you, that's going to probably really work in your favor for most of your life.

Sometimes when I'm rocking you and you wake up, you whisper secrets in your little baby words to me.  I whisper them back, you probably think I'm silly, but it's just the sweetest thing.  Especially when you're mad at me for swaddling you and rocking you to bed, sometimes you just spontaniously start whoooing or making your trilling noises and smiling at me, like "Mama, it's ok, I know you have to put me to sleep". 

You are SO happy anymore.  Not that you weren't, but you were pretty fussy a lot of the time and you suddenty turned some corner in your little life where most things make you happy.  You love to go out, you love to play in your crib, you love to be outside, and even sometimes just love to lay on the floor or playmat and squeak and hoot.  Your happiness is pretty much my only goal in life, well that and your safety.

Updates in terms of your development
You make tons of different sounds, the trill in the back of your throat, the tight lipped elephant noise being my two favorites, but my all time fave is your 'whooo'ing that you do first thing in the morning when you wake up.. you lay there and just whoooo very softly for about 30 minutes looking at your toys, the way the sun hits the side of your crib.. it's so adorable, like this little private conversation you're having with your toys, or with your new day. 
You're eating a ton, and sleeping ok.  We're trying to break you from the swaddle but always give in to just swaddling you.  While you love to sleep with your hands free, you wake yourself up sometimes.  We're going to try again tonight probably.
You have eaten green beans, peas, sweet potatoes and carrots.  I let you suck on a pickle too, which you loved.. probably not the best thing for you though.
You're ALMOST sitting up, you can sit, but you fall forward.
You can finally flip from your belly to back, you're a pro at back to belly but you were always getting stuck.  Now you don't.. just one more lil piece of independence you've gained.  One more thing you don't need my help with..
You love to stand and shout orders, at least that's what it sounds like.  Usually shouting or squeaking at the dogs.
You're wearing 9 month old clothes, or 6-9 month.  Pajamas at night, and a onesie or a romper during the day.  I was putting socks on you all the time but I think you like it when you're barefoot.

I love you Jameson, you're the light in my life and truly my purpose in being.

Love, Mommy
