Your first 6 months!!
My dear Corina
Soon you will be 6 months old. I can not believe how fast time has passed since you were born. It seems like yesterday; yet so many things have happened.
Both of your grandparents came to visit you. The Mantilla's stay for almost a month and The McDanal's for a week. We had a great time and you got a lot of attention during those weeks. I also learned a lot about taking care of you. It seems like if all that time that I was at home after having you just went by on a blink of an eye.
These first 6 months of your life have been wonderful. Dad and I can not stop looking at you, you are so beautiful, and everyday you "wow" us with some thing new you have just learned. You are still sleeping next to us on your co-sleeper and to be honest I don't want you to outgrow it, although there is just a few inches left between the tip of your toes and the edge of it. I don't know what I am going to do when I have to transfer you to your own room, I really don't even want to think about it; I might have to move to your room with you. I am going to miss listening to your breath and having you right to next to me all the time; it has been one of the most wonderful experiences. On the weekends when I can sleep in I look forward to sleeping in with you next to me; it is just so amazing. I think we can keep doing that even after you move to your room; it can be like a weekend tradition.
You have grown so much, it is almost unreal to think how tiny you were a few months ago; you did not even fit on your coming home outfit and now you are outgrowing even the 6 month old outfits pretty fast. You have hit every developmental milestone and it has been wonderful for us to see it happen; you have made us already very proud. A week short of your 5th month birthday you rolled over for the first time from back to tummy. You had roll from tummy to back a few times before that but I think those where more of accidental rolls. This time however it was real, you rolled over and started to push up with your arms; and since then you roll all the time. We love to see you doing it; and we bought you a new mat so that you can have more space to keep rolling and moving. In the last 2 weeks you have learned to sit on your own; you can now hold a sitting up unsupported sit for a long period of time and you are discovering the world through this. We can now play more together, we sit with you and play with your rattles, books, pots, etc. I love every second of it and you seem to enjoy it a lot as well. You have also discovered the wonders of splashing the water during your bath and it is just so fun and cute to see you sitting on your bath tub splashing as much water as you and I can handle. In spite of ending soaked I love it. I think you love water play too. Every little think you learn makes us so happy and proud.
