Dear Josiah,
You are a half a year old! And it is quite a treat seeing your little personality blossom.
This month ...
- You had your first ear infection. This was rotten! And we subsequently learned that you despise, abhor, and spew out medicine. Your first 3 doses of antibiotics were pretty much rejected, til we mastered our process.
(Step 1: Mom squirts a tiny, tiny amount of medicine into your mouth.
Step 2: Mom blows like crazy on your little face until your eyes get really big and you swallow reflexively.
Step 3: You blow bubbles and still try to spit out medicine as much as possible.
Step 4: Mom tries to scoop it all back into your mouth with index finger.
Step 5: Repeat forty times until the 3/4 tsp of medicine is consumed.)
- You are really rolling every which-way now. You still generally sleep on your back, but I will find you on your side from time to time. And whenever I forget a diaper or sleeper and have to leave you on the floor for a second during a diaper change, you always flip over onto your tummy just to make the job more exciting.
- You grab anything in front of you. You love playing with toys that rattle or buzz. You are pretty happy in your exersaucer, for short periods of time, and you love the Baby Bjorn!
- You are 16 lb 15 oz and in the 66% for height. Big boy!
- You have a terrific laugh!
- And you can also be quite a chatty young fellow.
- You had your first solids! Considering you haven't even taken a bottle yet, you are gobbling up rice cereal like it's going out of style!
- You love getting raspberries on your tum-tum and kicking your feet. You will not sit in your Bumbo seat (you straighten your legs and just kinda shoot out of there when we try it). But you still lie happily in your crib watching your mobile, even when we're really on the edge of naptime.
Last night you were lying on your little play mat by the table while we ate dinner, and all of a sudden Victor looked over and burst out laughing. You had grabbed one side of the mat and rolled over, making yourself a big baby burrito! Victor said, "Silly little cowboy!"
We love getting you up from your snoozes, because you give us the biggest grin, like I knew you would come and rescue me!
You are a little snuggle bug, and sometimes when you're getting very drowsy, you'll lay your little head on my shoulder while I rock you. It's the best.
You are growing and learning day by day, and we're so glad you're with us!
The verse that I have been praying for you lately:
The eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth, that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His (2 Chronicles 16:9a).
May it be, little son, may it be.
Love you like crazy,
Momma
