Month 2-6

As you went from tiny to small, you made your way in the world observantly. You're still a contemplative guy at 18 months. Mom and Dad doted on you when you were happy, fretted over you when you were fussy, and gave you constant cuddles and kisses however you were feeling! You had some issues with eczema, but after a year, it cleared up. Mommy learned more tricks to keep you happy as we grew and learned more about each other. You sit in the bouncy seat in the bathroom while mom and dad take showers. Eventually, we learned to hang brightly colored objects from the towel bar, and you learned to hold toys by yourself. I'd sing to you from the shower to let you know I was still there, and it kept you happier longer (Jesus Loves me, Sound of Music Songs, Birdies in the Treetops, Jesus loves the little children, this little light of mine, I had a little turtle, and many more were sung. Many times, you'd fall asleep.

At about 4 months you visited Dallas for the first time. You were an angel on the airplane, and in fact maybe cried for just a minute as we were landing both ways. We visited Grandma Shar, Grandpa Har, Joey, Willie, Great Grandma (G2) and Great Grandpa Bill. Such a precious time to visit family. They loved taking turns holding you, and playing with you!

You were about 5 months old when Uncle Erik started to come to play with you! He held you, and held you, talked with you, read to you, mostly the same stuff he does with you now at 1 1/2. We started to feed you rice cereal and veggies.

At 6 months old, you rolled over (but only by mistake). You loved to be held so you could stand up (while chewing on our thumbs). You were a chewer, but not a drooler. It was at about 6 months that you started sleeping all night from 10pm through 5 or 6 am. 3-4 naps everyday. Green Beans, jarred pears, and avocado were your favorites!
