half a year . . . wow. it is going by way too fast! you are such a beautiful little guy! so round and chubby and smiley. your laugh is infectious! you love to be tickled! you are sitting up so well now and just can't wait to be crawling! when i leave a room and come back you are always in a different spot . . . i don't know quite how you get around so fast, but you do . . . rolling and rocking to get where you want to go . . . or screaming when you get frustrated and need help! you are eating all sorts of new foods . . . sweet potatoes, squash, yogurt, apples, bananas, green beans, peas, carrots! you don't really want your paci very often and really don't suck your thumb yet. you love your walker and zoom around the floor! you are still not sleeping through the night, but just within the past week started waking up only once during the night! :) (mommy is very happy!) you even got your first tooth (finally!) and are working on your second!

you are an amazing little guy! already so different from the baby we brought home from the hospital! where is the time going! i want you to slow down . . . you are changing too fast! you seem like you're already in such a rush to catch up to your big sisters! we love you so much and cannot imagine a day without you! we love you little bentley cole! :)

you weigh . . . 17 pounds 4 ounces! (85-90%!!!!!!!)
