6 Wonderful Months

I know I am about a week late - oops. Within this week you have started swimming lessons and you have done so many other amazing things. You are pulling up on EVERYTHING. You are actually attempting to crawl. (it is more of a bear crawl though) You have started eating baby food twice a day. Fruits for lunch and Veggies for dinner. You seem to like that idea the best. You eat like your Momma. All foods are good and nothing is bad. The only thing you have ever made a stink face about has been guacamole and the banana orange medley baby food. I don't blame you on the guac. I am not a fan of the stuff either. Your favorite thing to eat is actually the squash. Well, Momma milk then that. Also, today we added some supplement formula to lunch time so that you become accustomed to the taste. This makes me sad because I feel as though I am losing the, "Momma, I need you" status. 

Speaking of this change in taste etc., we ran into a nice family while we were at your swimming lessons and they said a big bottle before bed will help you sleep longer. I am excited and sad that there is a chance you won't be waking up at night needing me. I can honestly say there are times I want to just ignore the cries, but once I wake up and you look at me it is all worth the late hours. That is our time together and I would never trade that. Daddy says I need the sleep though - so for Daddy we will try this out for a week and see what happens. If you like it than we will do it. Remember no matter what I love you. Now, moving on to the fact you had your FIRST swimming lesson - your FIRST time in a pool - and the FIRST time to float in the water. You LOVED it and Momma and Daddy were beyond proud of you and your skills. The actual lesson was more of getting you acquainted with the water but you are a little swimmer already. You kick and tread the water like you have done it before. While some babies were getting upset you simply wanted to play and hang out. Makes sense since you love the bath. This my sweet daughter is a trait from your father. I suck at swimming and honestly prefer to be outside the water. I am thankful you are more like Daddy in this than me. I sink to the bottom and have never truly enjoyed the swimming process. 

We also went to the zoo and you were so alert and ready to see all the animals. We even bought you some sunglasses. You don't like those so much, but you were a champ and you wore them for your Momma and Daddy. We even ran into some family members while we were there. It was a great day for the Jacobson crew. I think the part you liked best was the elephant show. You were on Daddy's shoulders and watched it from up high until it was over. Smiles and giggles the whole time.  Eddison you are such and observant baby. You learn daily and you seem to become smarter, stronger, and more amazing. I am blessed to be your momma. I thank God for the little person he gave us. We are beyond proud of you. Two years of marriage and it became complete when you entered the equation.
