Our little Samuel Cade is 6 months old! That's right...we have made it to half a year. Woo hoo! This has been such an unbelievable 6 months and I have never been happier. I thank God every single night for my sweet angel and am so thankful for the blessing he is to Thad and I. Here is what he is up to at 6 months:
- Has his two front, bottom teeth
- Got his first fever and cold this week
- he now sits up for minutes at a time; I've only walked away once and he went straight back and got a pretty good scare but is doing much better.
- LOVES food! He has oatmeal cereal twice a day and a veggie and a fruit daily as well. His favs are the "orange" veggies and bananas. He loved green peas until I introduced sweet potatoes and then that was the end of anything green.
- He is sleeping fantastic now and we are very well rested parents.
- He still takes 3 naps a day but if we are out and about he can roll with 2.
- He really enjoys the car now that he is in a convertible car seat.
- Thankfully he still loves Praise Baby.
- He rolls over all of the time and sleeps on his tummy at bedtime and for naps.
- No matter how much sleep his has had, he ALWAYS wakes up crying except for in the morning.
- He likes to be in the Bjorn when we grocery shop.
- He has discovered his tongue and loves to stick it out. This is cute now but I think in a couple of years he might get in trouble for this.
- He has started grabbing his toes and sucking on them. This is so adorable to me and it is something I have waited a long time for him to do.
Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite lullaby songs. It is called "Miracle" by Celine Dion. If motherhood has done anything to me it has made me a complete sap! I get weepy quite often these days when I think about just how much I love this little dude. Anyway, I listened to this song when I was pregnant and now I sing it to him sometimes at bedtime.
Your my life's one miracle, everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness, and I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this till you
You're the reason I was born, now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness, so blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most, though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more
The nearest thing to heaven, you're my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love
When you smile at me, I cry. And to save your life, I'd die
With a romance that is pure in heart, you are my dearest part
Whatever it requires, I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more
Oh there is nothing you could ever do, to make me stop loving you
And ever breath I take, is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams and know for sure
Who could ever love you more

He's so cute! I completely understand the weepiness. There's no way I could sing that song. I cry sometimes just holding and rocking and looking at her.
He is absolutely a beautiful child! Happy 1/2 year birthday baby Samuel.
