I am SIX Months Old.

This is Cannon's update letter that he mailed out this week.
He was a little late getting these out.


Hi Everyone!

I am now 6 months old! Mom weighed and measured me yesterday and…drum roll please...I weigh 21 pounds and I am 27 inches long! I am growing like a weed as they say down here in the south! I am still kind of baldy but it looks good on me!

I am rolling over like crazy, “inching” around on the floor (mom says I am going backwards but I am doing as I please). I also can hold my self up in a sitting position. I love eating books and my silver rattle is my favorite toy! I love Old MacDonald, that is my favorite song. I squeal, laugh and babble. Mommy still calls me her Little Monkey and Dad has MANY nicknames for me.

Everyone says I am happy and I like to smile at people. They really get a kick out of it. I am really starting to like my dad, that man is SILLY! However, could someone please tell him that that Brillo pad he wears on his face, HURTS!

I love to sleep on my tummy and two weeks ago I started letting Mommy sleep. I can sleep from 11pm-7am without nursing, most days!! I still love baths and splashing is so fun! The bathroom floor never needs to be mopped anymore!

Speaking of sleep, I no longer take my daytime naps in my swing! Swings are for babies and I am BIG! I like taking my naps in Mommy’s bed.

Everything I touch goes in my mouth, and I am learning that not everything tastes as good as sweet potatoes! Oh yes, I am eating now. I love sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and broccoli is okay. I have tried avocado, potatoes, apples, pears, zucchini, peaches and of course, bananas! Mom is making my food for now…I am enjoying my new tastes and getting messy!

Oh and for all you “doubters” Mom is STILL using cloth diapers and lovin’ it!

I recently traveled to West Virginia to meet some family. I think I was a hit! They loved me! I decided to be a good traveler and slept like a champ! Mom and Dad stopped a few times and let me get out and play! I got a TOOTH when we got back! My first one!! And, guess what NOW I have two!! Man, those teeth HURT!

I still have a playgroup that meets at our house and recently we have been enjoying the Sprinkler Park. I love water! Last weekend, Mom and Dad took me to the beach. My first beach trip! Uncle Ryan and Natalie went with us. I discovered my new favorite food, SAND! I ate handfuls and it was good stuff!

Well, I think it is time for my nap! I love you all and I hope to hear from you soon. I love to read… so send me some Fan Mail.

I love you- Cannon
