It's so hard to believe that just over 6 months ago, I was watching my belly dance around as you kicked and jumped and did whatever else it was that you were doing in there. You were an active little guy in utero, and nothing has changed. At 6 months old, you are so busy. I know that once you start crawling, your daddy and I are in for it!
At 6 months old, you:
*Roll from back to belly & belly to back-- over and over and over again.
*Love your tongue. You discovered it a couple of weeks ago and it's your new favorite "toy".
*Adore your Jumperoo. Your daddy and I stare at you in awe as you jump for a half hour straight without stopping. Your energy level is astounding!
*Are trying so hard to sit. You can sit for a few seconds unassisted before you face-plant (or, ideally, Mommy catches you on the way down.)
*Aren't sure how you feel about solids. Some days you love them, other days you aren't interested at all.
*Love bananas, sweet potatoes, and apples on the days you are interested in solids. Your least favorites are green beans & peaches.
*Love going for runs with Mommy in the jogging stroller.
*Adore bathtime. All I have to say is, "Do you want to take a bath?" and you get a huge grin on your face and start squealing.
*Are outgrowing your infant tub. You don't want to lay back anymore; you want to sit up. So that results in a constant stomach crunch when you're in the infant tub.
*Like to do the "Hot Dog" dance at the end of each episode of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
*Constantly have your foot in your mouth. Those toes must be very tasty.
*Are wearing mostly 6-9 month clothing and size 2-3 diapers. We'll find out your stats at your check-up next week.
*Always want whatever Mommy is drinking. You love to chug water from my water bottle (and drool in it too.)
*May or may not be teething. You drool constantly & are always chewing on anything you can get your hands on. But we have yet to see a tooth!
I love watching you grow up. You are such a happy and loving little boy. The best part of every day is waking up to your gummy grin and early morning cuddles. Saying that you were "worth the wait" doesn't really do justice to the way I feel about you. My heart changed forever the day you were born. I had no idea it was possible to love this much. Thank you for making me a mom.
Happy birthday, Buddy. You're half a year old!
Love,
Mommy

What a cutie!!!
Such a sweet post! I cannot believe they are already 6 months old. It has flown by. And I agree, "worth the wait" doesn't even come close to describing how special these little ones are to us. Happy 6 months Camden (from your future wife, Lexi):)
He will be one before you know it! Give him lots of kisses while he still thinks you're cool!
Oh, Kerri, how did this happen? I read the title of your post and couldn't believe it. Already six months?!
He's growing up way too fast! But he gets cuter every day so I guess it's ok.
Happy half year old, Camden!
Happy Half Birthday Camden and Congrats Kerri for hanging in there.
How cute is he!!!!
