Kade at 6 months

I love this picture of you and your Daddy!

Kade-

You were 6 months old yesterday!  You are growing up way too fast!  You are changing almost daily it seems.  Accomplishing something new all the time. 

You have almost mastered sitting up on your own.  Every now and again, you fall when you're sitting up, but you just smile and laugh.  Sometimes, I think you fall over on purpose, just to laugh at yourself. 

Kade, you are ALL boy.  You like Daddy to play rough with you.  You bang and smack anything you can get your hands on and grin the whole time.  I was amazed at the way you tore into presents at Christmas.  Marleigh is still a little timid opening gifts, but not you!  :)  If something is in your way on the floor when you are rolling around, you keep banging into it until it moves, you roll over it, or someone comes to move it for you.  You already love to push around the John Deere tractors on the floor. 

I'm sure you will be crawling in no time.  You scoot around on your tummy.  Every day you are getting stronger, and pushing yourself up a little more.  You have figured out how to turn in circles, and do it very well.  Just the other day, you maneuvered clear across the living room to Marleigh, and wanted to play with her and her colors.  She yelled to me, "MOM!!!  Kade is touching me!" 

Speaking of your sister, you absolutely ADORE her.  You save your biggest smiles, and belly laughs for her.  You enjoy just laying on the floor and watching her play.  She loves you very much, too.  Lately, she has been sharing her coveted Mickey Mouse stuffed animal with you, so you know she HAS to really love you!  She is always wanting to help take care of you. 

You are still a great eater!  We introduced solids a couple of months back, and you instantly loved them.  With every bite of food we hear, "Mmmmm, nnnuuummm."  You enjoy your food!  You are somewhere around 24lbs, but we will find out for sure at your 6 month checkup on Thursday. 

Anyone that looks at you, can tell what a great eater you are.  You barely still fit into 12 month clothes, but are wearing some 18 month clothes, as well. You are still adorable and chubby, but are slimming down a little, now that you are starting to move more. 

Right now, your favorite toys are your crinkle star, a mulit-colored chew toy, and your feet!  You grab onto your feet and roll from side to side, smiling from ear to ear. 

Kade, you are very much like your big sister, in that you both are very content and happy.  However, you smile and laugh all the time.  I have never met a happier baby than you.  Your laugh is infectious. There is a general happiness that just exudes from you. 

My sweet little boy, know that you are loved so very much.  We couldn't have asked for anything more in a son.  We love you more than you will ever know!
