Hi Quinn,
Mama here. This weekend was supposed to be your first forth of July...well, it was, but we didn't get to do anything because of the rain. I had planned to take you to see some fireworks, but the rain put a halt to that. I can't believe you are 6 months old already. Time sure is moving fast. Faster than I want it to. I love how you are becoming more independent and are gaining skills like crazy, but I also am a little sad at how fast you are growing up. It just makes me sad because before I know it, you won't be a baby anymore.
We got your 6 month pictures taken a the weekend before last and we have also been trying out more solid foods. So far you have tried bananas, prunes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, applesauce and oatmeal. You HATED the oatmeal! It is the only food you have gagged on so far. I have started making and freezing your home made baby food. This weekend I made papaya, sweet potato and rutabaga, apricot and butternut squash. I plan to make pear and apple and avocado next. Avocado does not freeze well though so we will just have to give that to you fresh. Home made baby food only lasts 6 weeks in the freezer, so I don't want to make TOO much. I freeze it in little ice cube trays, then once frozen, knock them out into plastic freezer bags with the expiration date and type of food written on them.
Daddy has been hard at work on the front landscape. We had you out on the porch while we worked on it. You really enjoy being outdoors...just like your Mama! I can't wait until it cools down so I can take you outdoors more often. We need to start walking with the dogs again, but for now it is TOO hot.
You continue to sleep through the night and it is WONDERFUL! You are much better rested as is Mama, and that has allowed me to start working out again. Mama has started P90X and is on day 17 tonight! I hope to have my shape back soon, but no matter what, you are worth every extra pound I have gained! You are still breast feeding really well, but I got a breast infection this weekend. It HURTS really bad, but is clearing up now. I was worried it would make my supply go down, and I would be sad because I want to keep breast feeding you til you' are at least a year old. I get sad every time I think about when we will have to wean. I love the closeness and special bond that breastfeeding has given us.
You still are not babbling, but you do make a fake cough and also screeching noises still. You are also rolling all over the place and scooting! I think you will be crawling soon. I am not sure what we will do this week, but I look forward to every weekend that I have with you. I miss you SO much when I am at work.
Love you little man,
XOXOXO
~Mama~
