Dear Enzo,
Last week you turned 6 months old. I cannot believe how fast time has gone. It seems that we just brought you home from the hospital! This month you really started moving. Every time I lay you down on your back, you immediately roll onto you stomach and check things out. You will lay on your belly for long stretches of time while playing. You love to kick your legs and wave your arms while laying on your belly. It looks like you are swimming! I know someday soon you will get those little legs up underneath you and take off! You have also gotten so much stronger. You can sit unassisted for short periods of time, propping yourself up with your hands while you play.
This last month you went swimming for the first time and hated it. The water was much too cold for your liking. You much prefer the warm water of a bath. Speaking of baths, you love taking a bath every night before bed. You kick and splash like crazy, soaking Daddy in the process. Music is another thing you love. You really enjoy when Daddy plays the guitar, and always smile when Mommy sings to you. You also love books. Before, you would just listen to Mommy's voice, and not really pay attention to the pages, but now you look at the pictures and try to grab the book.
Eating is another activity you enjoy. Avocados are currently your favorite food. You can't seem to eat them fast enough! You also enjoy pears, sweet potatoes, yams, and rice cereal. You tolerate bananas and apples mixed with rice cereal, but will not eat them plain. All this new food has caused you to grow quite a bit. At your Dr. appointment you weighed in at 17lbs, 10.6oz(52nd percentile,) length was 27 3/8in(80th percentile,) and your head circumference was 17 3/4 in(83rd percentile.) This means you are a long boy with a head to match, and your weight is just right. You don't have any teeth yet, but are occasionally fussy because of the pain they give you while they are trying to come in. Luckily the pain of teething hasn't really affected your sleeping habits. Most nights you sleep 11-12 hours straight. Mommy is really enjoying getting more sleep! We haven't transitioned you to your own room yet. Mommy and Daddy are planning to do that this week after we lower the crib mattress.

You enjoy talking to other babies and kids. Speaking of kids, two of your cousins have moved back to California. It is great to have them close and be able to grow up together. I enjoyed playing with my cousins growing up and am glad you will get to do that as well.
I look forward to watching you grow, and helping you learn, little boy. Mommy can't imagine her life without you!
Love,
Mama
