I don't know who started the whole "half birthday" thing, but it's that time for Itchy-Boo and I can't believe it. He's thriving and measures in at 90th percentile for both height and weight. Since last time, his milestones include consistently pushing up into cobra, but now also tucking his knees beneath his hips to get his tush in the air. Then, we noticed his belly was off the ground too. Ruh-roh.
The crazy thing about six months is this: the first three were painful in every possible way aside from marveling over the tiny miracle that my baby is. Parenting is a thankless job until that first smile even if it ISN'T deliberate! And then, the beauty of sleeping longer stretches than 3 - 4 hours. Oh happy day!
It's crazy how the last three months really turned the corner. The developmental strides with interaction, alertness, mobility…just everything really. We enjoy the baby-ness of the days and I feel like now it is the easiest it's ever going to be. Isn't that insane? His food is formula. No worries about potty training. We can carry him around in his little carseat pod everywhere and if he is sleeping, we don't need to disturb him. All of his day trip items fit into one small diaper bag and do not involve electronics.
We are blessed with an easy baby who is good at eating and sleeping. I am thankful for this and muse on it every day. I am also thankful for the three hours that have passed where he has been napping. Boo needs to eat. I should go wake him up now.
