Maybe in reality, 6 precious months have flown by, but in my heart it will always be 'just yesterday'. There will forever be a piece of my heart living in the moment he was placed in my arms, it's clock willingly stuck at 11:51am on December 11, 2012. It's so ironic that a moment in time he will never remember is one that I will never forget.
Watching Drew transform from a tiny, squishy infant into a babbling, laughing, crawling 6 month old has been the greatest joy of my life. The love Andrew and I have for our perfect, sweet boy is out of this world, and continues to grow stronger each and every day. We can only thank God for seeing us as worthy of caring for such an amazing little person.
Drew's 6 Month Update:
Height/Weight: He doesn't have his 6 month checkup until the end of the month, so in the mean time I've been weighing him on the scale with me, which probably is just as good as me throwing a number out there, but whatev. On the scale with me he is weighing around 15 pounds.
Routine: What's that?
Sleeping: Drew is a champion in the sleep department (just like his mama). He has been sleeping through the night for quite some time now. We co sleep at night, but he's been taking his naps in his crib.
Eating: He has been eating a one ounce cube (once a day) of homemade pureed veggies since five months old. I can't wait to start feeding him 3 times a day and introducing him to new foods. Also- I bought one of the mesh feeders the other day and put organic apple in it- he ate it up...literally. He loves food, again... just like his mama.
Sizes: We're in 6-9 month clothes now! As far as diapers go, we're still in size 2.
Personality: Drew is an optimist. An adventurer. A dreamer. A lover. He truly is all things good in life. I have never met a baby as happy as he is. If he doesn't have a smile on his face it's because he is overtired or hungry, which isn't that often. He is such a fun little guy!
Milestones: What isn't Drew doing? Let's see... he is laughing at everything (me, the dogs, the tv, our food... you name it, he thinks it's funny). Crawling everywhere...literally everywhere...it's insane. Pulling himself up on things just started yesterday. It's amazing, yet frightening. While watching him conquer each of these milestones makes my heart overflow with pride, it also makes me sad that he is growing so fast.
