Riley is 6 Months Old Today

Dear Riley,

I can't believe today you are 6 months old. Your Dad and I are amazed at how much you have grown and changed in just this little time. You have changed our entire lives. Our priorties are different and we have realized and accepted we are now working on your time. Every decision made here on out revolves around you and truthfully we wouldn't have it any other way. You constantly remind us what is important: You.

Your little personality is not so little anymore. Everyday you seem to suprise us, whether you are reaching for the remote (your new best friend), saying "Dada", turning over constantly, and making a mess while you eat for me to clean up you have all these facial expressions that we love to see. So far I'm thinking you are going to be pretty daring. You don't seem scared of much since you're always lunging out of arms trying to grab toys or reach for Sly. You love it when your Daddy throws you up in the air or does something I think will scare you. You always seem to laugh and smile. I have also learned that you want what you want when you want it, there really is no waiting with you. One thing we have to work on is patience, which will come over time.

Last night I tried feeding you squash for the first time, which was no good. You had more on your bib and tray than I think landed in your mouth. I am happy to report that you do love your sweet potatoes along with oatmeal, carrots, green beans, peaches, and pears. You also love drinking apple and pear juice.

You are sitting up really well now, one day you sat up for 30 mins straight. You are even slowly learning to catch yourself when you start to fall over. Your favorite place to sit up and play is on your changing table where you can grab your diapers and throw them everywhere. I got a feeling you're going to be crawling soon and getting in to everything since you love to be busy like your momma.

Mommy and Daddy love you Riley and can't wait to see how much more you are going to change over the next 6 months.
