Dear Rylie,
You are 6 months old today.
I can't even begin to tell you how much you have changed my life! The past 6 months have gone by too fast, but they were amazing! And I only look forward to what we get to experience in the 6 months to follow. You have helped me grow tremendously. You make me want to be a better person...a better mommy! Your innocence is endearing! I love that your mind has not been corrupted with scary stories or movies, bad words or even monsters under the bed. You are so fearless at this point and have a sense of trust that I could only wish for. It's guaranteed that your contagious smile will brighten any day!
You weigh 15lbs, have two teeth, roll over (still only from back to stomach), and are extremely close to sitting up on your own. The little amount of hair you do have is thin and blonde- and I'm sorry to say, but it seems a little frizzy (you get that from me). You still sleep in your bassinet but once we get back from visiting family in Kansas this weekend, I'm determined to move you to your own crib. Not that I want to, but it's just time! You eat rice cereal every morning for breakfast and we have just recently added a veggie in the evenings as part of your "dinner."

I love how you rub your eyes when you get tired or when you are enjoying your bottle (which I proudly say still holds breastmilk).
I love when you extend your arms out in hopes that I will pick you up...and without fail, I quickly dip down and scoop you into my arms each time. Selfishly, I love when you cry when I leave the room. Of course, I don't love to hear you cry, but it makes me feel good that you recognize my existence and need me. I love your mini temper tantrums...only for a little while longer, I'm sure. But you squeeze your fists together and scream for some kind of attention...and I think it's adorable! You just cuter and cuter, Rylie!
Some of your favorite things are: mommy and daddy, our nightly rocking sessions, bath time, your planet jumperoo, your "book", your binkus (pacifier), q-tips (you really enjoy when I clean your ears...it must feel good), and although I don't have the BEST voice, you still enjoy hearing mommy sing "Rock-A-Bye Baby" (which, by the way, I just realized there was more than one verse- who knew?).
Thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives! I love you more and more each day!
Love,
Mommy
That was so sweet...made me teary-eyed! Tess
