You're Off To Great Places...

Dear Bentley,

I am in shock!  I realized this week you will be SIX MONTHS OLD!  The same week I am turning 26!  Time waits for no one.  I don't feel this old.  And WHEN did you get this old???? 

You have accomplished a lot this month! 

We have been working on first words with you.  One in particular.  "Mama."  You started with, "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........"  Then worked up to, "MmmmmAH!"  Now we are working on the repeating second syllable.  You understand there are two syllables which is impressive!  But "Mama," sounds more like, "MAHbwuuhhhh."  Still impressive!! 

Now, onto crawling!
First, you got your belly off the ground.  Then you were in crawling position and would rock back and forth to gain balance.  Now you can lift your hand off the ground and put it in front of you.  You lunge forward and fall over.  Then...you get right back up!!!!  You taught yourself all of this.  How does a little bitty baby teach himself such big things??  I am very proud of you. 

You are sleeping next to me right now.  Tired and exhausted from all the crawling attempts.  You can wiggle your way across any floor and bed.  And you just wiggled yourself right to sleep.  So I thought I would take this time to write you a letter to let you know how amazing you are.  Every accomplishment no matter how big or small is a HUGE deal to your daddy and me.

I love you, Little Buddy!

Love,
Mommy

PS:  Daddy got a job!!!!
