Here with Us for Half a Year
Dear Margo,
Six months old baby girl, and more enchanting with each passing day. I continue to look at you in wonder, and with love, love, love.
You're sitting up very well now, and have learned this past week to transition from sitting to your belly all on your own. I'm not sure if you can get from your belly up to sitting, but if not, you're not far off.
You're increasingly mobile, and if you're surrounded by 8 toys, with one thing near you that you shouldn't play with, you're on that one thing like white on rice. Power cords, my books, you name it. Things that I wouldn't think would be amusing are just that, in your opinion. You played with an empty kleenex box this week for at least a half an hour.
Yesterday, you shocked the heck out of me by pulling yourself up to standing in your co-sleeper. I guess the temptation of the kleenex box was too tempting, as were the bright lights of my alarm clock, both of which you pulled on to the floor. I'm glad you're so grabby, because the thump on the floor as the alarm clock fell brought me running up the stairs as I thought you had fallen out. I opened the door, and there you stood, grinning at me. The sides on that co-sleeper are not high enough to contain your enthusiasm.
For this and other reasons, to celebrate your six month birthday, we're planning onbanishing you moving you from our room, and into your own. I think this may be harder on me than you, as I've gotten quite used to snuggling up with you in my sleep. When you're nursing during the night, you tend to rub your hand across my face and it is just about the sweetest feeling ever. When you're awake, you tend to claw me with your sharp little nails, and that, I could do without. But during the night I often plot ways to never let you grow up.
But it's happening, my little one. It's happening.
Happy half year, Margo.
I love you more than I can say.
xoxo

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
9:21 p.m.Look at that little tongue. Girl, we know your working it.
Something tells me you're going to have Mom and Dad moving much more and alot faster from now on. Oh well! They really weren't all that interested in joining a gym anyway.
Love those little jeans and love you.

Happy six months Margo.
Donna those are the sweetest monthly letters that you write to Margo.
Is it not true though the simple toys or articles can be very amusing.Like a kleenex
box, who would have thought.
Another thing is,when they get a little bit older is pouring something from one cup to another.
Oh those wonderful baby days!!!
