6 Month Highlights:

Now that you have learned how to roll over, you

started sleeping on your side this month. We were visiting

Nana and Poppa's house for Thanksgiving and when I

went in to feed you, you were sound asleep on your side.

It is so precious!

You started playing in your exersaucer this month.

I would not say that you love it yet, but you are

exploring and once you can pull down on the

animals I think you will really enjoy it.

You started eating rice cereal this month,

and you have it every morning. It's

so cute when you smack your lips

as you are eating it.

You now recognize your name. When we

say Hardy you will turn your head to us.

You have suddenly become ticklish.

I can tickle you under your neck

or at the top of your legs, and you

will give the biggest chuckle.

You love to look at yourself in the

mirror now. Every morning once I wake

you up, before we get your bottle we

stop at the mirror in the dining room.

You always smile real big when you

first see yourself.

You are definitely showing more emotion

and your personality and sense of humor

are starting to come out. You laugh so much

more, but you also let us know when you are

bored or upset.

I still occasionally catch you staring at your hands,

but they are quickly becoming more busy.

You are exploring with them, and you will

rake objects to yourself that are in reach.

You love to rub your hands across objects

that are soft and furry.

You are becoming more attached to me,

and it makes my heart feel so good.

You will lift your arms up when you want

to be picked up, and you reach out to touch

my face when I feed you and when I sing to

you before bed. It is adorable!

My Sweet Little Boy,

You are 6 months!! I cannot believe how fast you are growing up. It seems like just yesterday that we were riding home from Tupelo with you, and bringing you into our home for the first time. Now, there are diapers, toys, burp cloths, bibs, and little tiny socks scattered from one end of our home to another! And I love it!! You have brought an incredible amount of joy to our lives, and we are having so much fun with you as our son. When your daddy and I go to bed at night, we always talk about you and how much we love you. You have captured our hearts, and we just love you to pieces! I am trying so hard to store away as many of these precious moments with you, because I know you will only be little once, and you are growing so fast! As we approach Christmas, and begin to ponder upon our Savior's birth, I hope and pray that one day you will know Him and love Him. I love you so much sweet Hardy, and I look forward to the next 6 months!
