Mr. Silas

Si,
 I can't believe you are almost 6 months old! It is absolutely crazy how fast time goes and how fast you grow. You have your bottom 2 teeth now, and it was pretty easy on all of us. I have heard awful stories about teething, but besides the disgusting diapers that you forced Mommy to change, it was pretty much a breeze! It amazes me how fast you learn things too...you are so active (and rough) in your Excersaucer already. If I hand you an extra toy while you are in it, you now chuck it across the room and giggle. Between that and the room clearing farts you have had lately, there is NO DOUBT you all boy! Your Daddy is so proud when your fart takes my breath away while I am feeding you - you could at least wait until I can get away from the toxic fumes you little stinker! You are almost sitting up by yourself and I bet by the time Auntie Teri gets here for Christmas you will be able to do it - if she puts you down at all in those 2 weeks she is home :) I know she misses you a lot and can't wait to see you again so give her lots of big smiles when she gets here ok?! You could also give her one of your growl hugs that you give me all day - love them! Whenever I pick you up, especially after changing your diaper, you wrap your little arms around me and squeeze while growling into my shoulder. I think it is adorable and your uncles (Paul and Daniel) think it is hilarious!

Your Daddy and I love you to pieces and love watching you grow and learn new things pretty much everyday!

Love,
 Mommy

A Love Letter for Little Man

I love hearing you in the morning, giggling and cooing in your crib, just waiting patiently for me to come and get you. That huge smile I get when I peek over your crib melts me every time. When you snuggle into my neck when I pick you up just about melts me into a puddle. I am sooo in love with you. The older you get, the more you interact with me. Your giggles make me giggle, which makes you giggle more. I love when you grunt to reach your toes over your little belly...so cute! You are getting really rough when you play with your toys, but you are a boy, so I guess I should just get used to it! Everything is funny to you, even just looking at you sometimes makes you belly laugh. You are such a ham! I think you have figured out that when you are silly, you get attention, and you are silly all the time. I love the way you cuddle when you are sleepy, laying your head on my shoulder and just chilling. You are such a sweet boy. I love very minute I spend with you and watching you grow and learn brings tears to my eyes. You are growing so fast and I love watching you learn and discover new things. You are such a sweet baby. In fact, someone told me the other day that you should be in commercials because you are so cute, and that her kids were never that cute! That sure made me smile! Everywhere we go, people stop to tell us how cute you are, so it must be true! I love you to pieces and can't look forward to watching you continue to grow and learn!

Such a happy little man!

Love those cheeks! They are so fun to cover in kisses!

Peeking out of the shower at Mommy!

Getting those toes, I can hear the grunt just looking at this picture!
