*Collin bear, you are such a happy baby! We have had compliment after compliment on how great you are. You love to see new things. You just stare for so long.

*You are still not a great sleeper though, We are determined to get this fixed though. Our doctor told us it is now time to Cry It Out. You would think that Mommy would be having a hard time with this, but to tell you the truth… it’s your DADDY! He can’t go 10 minutes without coming and picking you up. Mommy is going to have to have a nice long talk with Daddy about this. I need you to sleep through the night!

*You nurse 2-3 times a day. Mommy is still pumping at work for you to have bottles during the day.

*You are still a little thing!! We still have 0-3 month clothes that fit you! Mostly just shorts though. The rest of your clothes are 3-6 months.

*You are wearing size 3 diapers.

*We give you rice cereal with fruit mixed in every morning. You seem to like it okay. We figured out that you don’t want it right when you wake up though. You like to eat it after your morning nap.

*You can pick up toys off the floor. You can change them from one hand to the other, and you ALWAYS put whatever is in your hand into your mouth.

*We just started putting you in the jumparoo. You aren’t sure how to figure it out. You curl your toes up and just kind of sit there and play with the toys around it. When Mommy bounces you, you don’t mind it. Hopefully you will figure out the bouncing soon.

*You're still not sitting up on your own. We are working on this. When you are in your bouncy seat you pull yourself up toward the toys as if you are trying to sit up. You love your bumbo. Maybe you will be sitting soon.

*You still love bath time. You make the funniest sounds when we first put you in the water. Your Daddy loves to watch you!

*No teeth yet... I don’t know what is taking so long. You drool and chew on anything you can get your hands on.

*We love it when you talk to us. I could listen all day long. Your voice is so sweet.

*You also are laughing lots more. I have gotten it on video several times. I will never get tired of hearing that laugh.

*Your legs are so strong. You have just recently starting being somewhat of a wiggle worm! We can be holding you and you will try to walk up us!

*Unless you are tired or hungry, you are happy and content.

Sweet baby boy,

You are the light of our lives. I can’t imagine our lives without you. You are growing up so fast! I can’t believe you are half a year old. You are developing the cutest little personality. We love you so very much.

Mommy and Daddy
