griffin {six months}

 Griffin's half birthday came and went and we didn't even celebrate...I was too busy being sick. Bummer. We will just have to celebrate big when he turns one instead! I can't believe six months have gone by already. Here is Griffin at six months (a little late).

It is a miracle that I got this six month picture...

 ...because the rest of his pictures looked more like this. I would set Griffin down, get up on the chair and pick up my camera...and by that time he had already flipped over. He is my first baby to be able to roll over from his back to his stomach. He is all over the place...a crazy rolling baby.

 And if he wasn't rolling over he was busy eating the six month flash card. I have a feeling that once this boy starts crawling I might have my hands full.

Dear Griffers,

You have now spent a half year with us now and we are so in love with you. Actually, the past month has been a little rough (we still love you lots though). You got sick for the first time with ear infections, bronchitis, and thrush all right in a row. And Mama was sick too. Not fun. You are still not sleeping through the night, but you are getting a little better. And we are having to do a little sleep training around here lately which is hard on a mama's heart. I am praying that month seven will be the month of good sleeping!!

You started eating cereal this month. Let's just say you were not a fan. You spit it out every time and pierced your lips as tight as you could when the spoon got near your mouth. Your doctor said maybe you are hungry and we need to get you eating more foods. Let's hope you like fruits and vegetables better than your cereal.

You are so wiggly. You are my first baby who can roll from your back to tummy. Way to go! You roll over the second I set you down anywhere. You are wiggly and it is getting hard to even get you dressed. You are sitting up too, but still with help from pillows. I think you are too wiggly to keep your balance. :) You like sitting up to play and you love your walker too.

You love your brother. You are much more content when he is nearby. He brings you toys and shoves your pacifier in your mouth when you need it. He is always wondering how you are doing and where you are. If you are screaming in the car he looks over and yells at you to have a happy heart. A sweet brotherly bond already.

Happy half birthday, sweet boy!!

Love, Mama
