It is hard to believe that you have been in our lives for only 24 weeks. It feels like the time has just flown by. You have grown and changed so much in the last six months it almost makes me teary eyed. The only thing that stops that, is knowing the years upon years of exciting milestones that we are about to embark on.
You have gone from a "burrito baby" weighing in at 7lbs 4oz, 19 and 3/4 inches long to 16 or so pounds and 24 inches long give or take, (we haven't gotten your new stats quite yet). You can now "talk", laugh, growl (like chewbacca), rolling all over the place, you can even scoot now!
You are eating up a storm! There isn't a fruit or vegetable you haven't tried you are a very good eater! After eating your meal you like taking the spoon and chew on it as you are starting to teethe. We have several teething toys for you and when you rub one of them aganist your gums it makes a squeaky sound! You aren't very fond of the cold keys, but your daddy will get them out and rub them on your gums for you, it hurts a little at first but it benefits in the long run and helps you with the pain.
You love your doggie Roxy and are always interested when she walks by. You can be in a foul mood and if Roxy gets in your face she makes you grin and giggle. It is amazing to see you so tight fisted and if we place your hand on Roxy's it opens up so quickly so you can pet her. I love watching a friendship develop between the two of you that looks like it will be everlasting. I am almost positive that you two will be partners in crime. So funny my first fur-baby and baby girl. I love you both dearly.
You are an amazing gift and I would feel so lost without you. I always joke that I need that manual now. Because before you we had no clue what to do. We are all learning together and that is the most special of all. Happy half birthday to my Lily Anne and here is to many more!
Love,
Mommy
