These are some sweet times...

Watching Daddy play with Beau and hearing those precious baby giggles, is there anything better? I love our evenings when Daddy gets home from work. He walks through the door and Beau just lights up. He starts to coo and smiles so big.



I also love our special quiet morning time together just mom and baby. When Beau wakes up for the day he is hungry! I feed him and then we just sit and cuddle for 15 minutes or so until he is ready to play. I just talk to him and tell him how much I love him. I tell him that Jesus loves him and he is my special, special baby. I cover him with kisses and hug him tight.



Beau is 6.5 months old now and he is changing so much. In the past 2 weeks he went from my little baby who only nurses and take 4 naps a day to my big baby who takes 2 naps and eats solid food. Our schedule is wake between 6 and 7am, nurse, play, eat breakfast, play, nurse and nap at 10:30 to 12:30pm. Then wake up nurse and play until 3pm. Nap at 3 to 4:30. Wake and nurse, play, eat dinner, play, nurse and bed at 7pm.



Beau loves to eat solid food. We started him eating baby oatmeal mixed with mashed bananas. He knew what to do with it right away. He was a little unsure about whether he like it I think but he knew that he was supposed to swallow. At each feeding since, he has eaten a little more and a little more. He also has eaten sweet potatoes and seems to like those as well. I think he thinks the spoon is the source of the food, like a bottle would be because each time I take the spoon out of his mouth to scoop up some more food, he gets really mad like I'm taking it away. I can't scoop up more food and get it to his mouth fast enough sometimes.



Beau continues to loves his jumperoo. As he gets bigger and stronger, he jumps and jumps and bounces and bounces! It is so fun to watch. He gets going and his arms start to flail and his head bobs around. It is hilarious. He is not crawling yet but wants to so bad. Right now he just falls on his tummy from a sitting position trying to get a toy and then he tries to crawl and after a minute of trying to crawl and not moving, he cries as if to say "Mommy, you get me that toy!"



I made some pureed pees today. Funny how making peas gives me such joy. Sometimes I just can't believe this is my life. I love to just watch him and be with him all day. I am so blessed to be living my dream of being a mom.
