Bailey's 1/2 Birthday!

Dear Bailey aka sugar bear, suggie, suggie bear, bear~

Today you turn 6 months old! I love you so much! We are on vacation right now in Panama City Beach, FL. I don't know if you know how great you have it to spend it in such a nice place. I afraid your 1st birthday it might be cold and probably not as beautiful. :( Oh well I will still make it a very special day for you! This is what you are up to these days:

1) I am guessing you weigh between 16 and 17 pounds
2) You wear a size 3 diaper
3) You wear 6-9 month clothes and some 12 month things
4) Your eyes are a beautiful blue and everyone compliments you on them
5) Your hair seems to be getting lighter and has a redish tinge to it.
6) You got to bed between 8 and 9 and get up between 7 and 8. You sleep straight through the night about 95% of the times. Sometimes you stir and get upset but if I go in and pat you on your back you go right back to sleep. You pretty much never want to eat in the night anymore which I actually miss. You take 3 naps each day. A couple of short ones in the morning and a big long one in the afternoon
7) You love to be sung too. Your favorites are daddy's sugar bear song, isty bitsy spider and patty cake with motions.
8) You have no teeth and do not seem to show any signs of teething!
9) You laugh hysterically all the time now. You only fuss when you are tired.
10) You love your jumparoo a lot and can really get it bouncing. You also bounce away while we hold you.
11) You love to hang out in just your diaper


12) You can mostly sit up. Although you are a little wobbly still.
13) You love to play on the floor with toys all around you. You pick up each one and investigate it thouroughly and then roll around getting to the other toys
14) You love being held by anyone
15) Everywhere we go people tell us 2 things: 1) You are good, happy baby 2) you are so beautiful and cute
16) You sleep on your belly in your swaddle sack with one arm out at night. For naps you sleep on your belly with a little blanket that Mimi made for you over you. You still sleep the best in your swaddle sack.
17) You are not that interested in solid foods although you do humor me and try them. You must not get this quality from me because I love food!
18) You nurse about every 3 or 4 hours or about 5 times a day
19) You love go in the swimming pool and kick your legs and splash the water. It doesn't seem to bother you when it splashes in your face
20) You are the most beautiful baby in the whole world! :)

I can't believe that these last 6 months have gone by so fast and that you have learned so much. I love teaching you do things and playing with you! I love you so much!

Love,
Mommy

P.S. Your daddy has written you a letter the old fashioned way and doesn't want to share it with the world. He is putting it in a safe place he says. I hope he remembers where that is! :)
