Dear Tully, 6 Months Old

Happy half-birthday my little punkin'! I know its totally cliche to say but the time really has flown - I think its because I'm more of a relaxed Mum this time around, and I'm getting much more sleep, and I can thank you for both of those things little girl. I'm cruisy because you're cruisy; I'm well rested because you sleep like an angel. One who only wakes up once a night, has a feed and a snuggle, and goes straight back to sleep. I love it, and I love you!


You're still very much a 'people person ', loving to be involved with everything we're doing, and you'll take a cuddle from pretty much anyone, but you have a bit more of a serious side too. You've become very observant, and you quite often have periods where we can't coax a smile out of you - because you're too busy, concentrating on watching the world go by, taking everything in. And one of you're favourite things to watch is you're silly bloody brother. You love him - you laugh at him, you smile, you look for him when he isnt there. It makes me such a happy mum to see the way you guys interact together, even at your tender age. I can't wait til you can actually play together....

As far as accomplishments go you can roll ( though you,re only just getting the hang of it and still don't do it that often ) and you can sit unaided. I keep forgetting you're pretty good at that one and I lie you down on you're play mat, then you crack it at me because you want to sit up! Grandma swears you said ' mum ' the night you had your first sleep over but I haven't heard it so I'm not counting that, though I am counting 'champion eater' because you have taken to solids with ease! I was going to wait til 6 months to start you but you were so interested in food we couldn't make you wait any longer. You still look tiny in your highchair though!

And that is it my baby girl - I love you, I'm proud of you and you make my heart burst with love everyday. I can't wait to see what the next 3 months bring!
Love, love, love! Your Mama Bear

    1. Aww .... I didn't mean to make you cry! But it isn't great that we have this medium to record things like this, to keep a record of the beautiful things our babies do?
