6 months...

Dear Dixon,

It is so hard to believe that you are six months old already! I don't really realize how much you've grown until I see a newborn baby...then you look like a MONSTER! Here is what you looked like in your swing when we brought you home...



And here is you in your swing at six months...


I'm sure that all of the amazing things you are doing are developmentally appropriate, but you AMAZE me everyday. I can't help but think you are the most advanced 6 month old alive. The best thing so far is when you reach your arms out for me. Although...there is nothing better that catching your eye and seeing your (almost) toothless grin through wubba.

I love to see all of your tricks...but it is so nice when you have just eaten and you are a little sleepy, then you want to cuddle with me. You have a wonderful personality...for the most part you are laid back and happy go lucky...unless you are hungry or tired. At these times, you let me know that there is a problem. You are interested in EVERYTHING! You are always watching things...like you are trying to figure out how they work.
Lately you have been waking me up in the middle of the night again...which I pretend not to like...but sometimes I secretly enjoy those extra moments with you. It has been a wonderful six months...I can't wait to see what the next 6 will bring for us.

I love you more than you know.
Mom
