6 months old.

hey miss evers:

today for lunch you had green beans, squash and a bottle
[the last was completely unappreciated by you. it's a chore to get you to finish a bottle these days].
what the what?!?
i swear i blink and 2 months goes flying by.
when did you start sitting in a high chair and pounding jars of baby food?
oh man does life with the second kid whiz by.
soon you'll be toddling around and i'll have my pots and pans strewn across the house.
but not yet, thank heavens.

right now we're just working on rolling to the left.
rolling to the right is easy peasy [a feat first accomplished on july 24th while in utah].
but that left shoulder gets you every time.
sometimes i see you narrow your eyes when trying to roll to the left and i swear you're thinking,
'damn you left shoulder!'
but maybe that's just me projecting.


also, please continue with the jowls.
they're everyones favorite and do wonders for brightening up my bad days.
a little nibble clears up my anxiety right quick.


you had a lovely visit with you pediatrician recently for your 6 month check.
you weighed in at 16 lbs 5 ounces.
you're 26 inches long.
and that's about how big kate was when she turned a year old-
way to go chunkaloo!

when i was pregnant, tired and so very weary of having heartburn;
i remember wishing for a healthy, happy, fat baby.
looks like i got my wish.
