Today

Jonas, you are 6 months old today! I feel like I'm just getting to know you and like you've been in my life forever at the same time.


You're a big boy... by big I mean colossal... and you're awesome! You're the size of a one-year-old and you want to be able to move around like one!

You've been rolling from belly to back for a while now, but you finally started rolling from back to belly! You do not want to be on your belly, though! You can sit up on you own for about a minute now before you topple over, but you're much more interested in standing.

You love your brother, Simon, and light up every time he comes your way. Your favorite activities include pulling hair (especially Simon's), watching Simon do anything, trying to play with whatever Simon has, eating, reading, having your diaper changed, being held and snuggled, the Jumperoo, grabbing your feet, and putting everything in your mouth. Your first tooth popped through yesterday. You like every food you've tried with the exception of green beans and peaches, but you'll still eat those without too much protest.

Jonas, you're wonderful and I can't imagine life without you! I can hardly wait to find out what you're going to be like, but please don't grow up too soon!
