{1/2 a year}

Dear Tater,

What an amazing 6 months you have given me. I can't believe it was a half a year ago that I held you in my arms for the first time. I cannot begin to tell you what you have done to me. Because of you sweet baby my heart has grown bigger than I ever thought it could. You have had a few challenges in your 6 months, but have always showed me how strong you are. You do your exercises with me like a trooper, and your little neck is getting stronger every day! You are very smart too. When you see Dedria your PT your cry instantly, so when we go to PT I keep your back to her the entire time. Its funny how she does the exact same exercises, but when you see her you get so upset, but when you see me you smile the entire time.

You slept through the night for about a month, and now wake up ALOT. I think its because you miss me during the day :-) You have started to go to Alicia's with your big brother more often, and I think you really like it. On days you go to her house you are always asleep by 7, and sleep much better. I think Grandma holds you all the time ;-). That's what Grandma's do though so I can't blame her!

Your big brother is your best friend. You see him and your eyes light up. I can see how much you love him, and guess what? he loves you too. Every morning he wakes up and asks for you....or Riley. It's funny to think that a few short months ago when you would see him your eyes would blink 100 times a minute because you were so worried he'd hit you!

Well sweet baby boy I hope you have an amazing day! Please don't be mad at me when we get your shots this afternoon. It's to keep all those nasty bugs away. I promise I won't get you the flu shot.

Love you more than you know Tater

XOXOXOX,

Mommy
