Day 12: Six

Today is the day little Chicker- the day you are six months old. Honestly! Can you beleive it? Six months ago you were a brand new little fart eating my heart up and now you are a giant little fart with so much excitement and such a thirst for life.

In the last four weeks, you have amazed me as usual. I am so lucky to be your mama. I don't know what I did in a previous life, but I am so lucky.

You have two teeth - finally! We never thought those goofy toofies were going to pop through but are so happy that they finally did. You look so cute with teeth.

In the last week you've started sitting in the high chair, and scooting yourself all over the house. Your girth is too extreme to let you roll over or crawl, but you still manage to move yourself all over the house.

Just this morning I set you on a blanket to play and within a few minutes you had moved yourself off the blanket onto the carpet, chasing a toy. What a speed demon!

You are eating two meals a day. Cereal and fruit in the morning and fruit and vegetables before bed. I think that you weigh about 22 pounds and are about 27, maybe 28 inches long. Cool, huh?



You are having baths in the big bath tub and absolutely love to play with all of your brothers toys.

You laugh and laugh, almost never crying. You sleep all the night, but never during the day. I look forward to your Kramer-like 15-30 minute catnaps. Like the pediatrican said though at your 4 month check-up - you are so happy and smart and sleep so well at night that you just don't need all the rest during the day.

If only you weren't so interseted in my computer.



Your eyes sparkle, your personality shines, and your laugh is contagiuos.

You need a haircut - but we'll take care of that later.



Perhaps most important - you hit a major milestonen today...your first basketball game. It was Uncle WIllie's time to shine as the awesome 9th grade star of the basekball team and you had a blast. You cheered and watched, and did awesome. And, Willie's team won - you must be a good luck charm, too.
