dear nug, 

yesterday was your half birthday.  a whole six months - wow - where has the time gone?  we are getting lots of good giggles out of you, which is one of the best feelings in the world.  you are also using your vocal cords alot these days including some screaming scenarios we have experienced in restaurants.  this makes your mom and dad a bit uneasy, but we press on - knowing you are just exploring with new sounds you can make.  

we have tried lots of new fruits and veggies this past month.  your favorite fruits are apples, pears and peaches and your favorite veggies include carrots and sweet potatoes.  you seem to enjoy anything sweet - so maybe you will have a sweet tooth like your mama.  

everything is new and exciting to you.  you constantly have your hands out exploring whatever you can get a hold of.  after your grasp something, it goes straight for your mouth for more exploration.  you are working on sitting up on your own and you are getting closer and closer every day.  

each day our love for you grows and grows.  just when we think our hearts cannot hold anymore love, you do something that melts us.  i hope you can feel all the love we have for you because we try to show you every single day just how lucky we are to have you in our family.  we are so very thankful and beyond blessed.  

all my love, 

mama
