Dear Ryland,
Happy 6 month birthday, Handsome little guy! You are six months old today and Dad and I are already amazed at how fast this time has gone by. It's been such an incredible time watching the dynamics of our family change since your arrival. It seems like each and every day something changes; You are able to do something new, or you are making new sounds, or trying new foods (and loving them!).
While you are not quite mobile yet, you are trying so hard. You so badly want to crawl around, and I’m sure it’s because you want to keep up with Sophia! You absolutely love her, and it’s so awesome as your parent to sit back and watch the love between you two. Sophia wastes no time in the morning waiting for you to wake up. She is up before the sunlight and the moment she hears you stirring around in your crib she announces “Brother’s waking up!” She is quite the lucky girl, as she gets to give you your very first kiss each morning. And she loves to be the 1st one into your room, exclaiming almost every morning “Good Morling, Brother! Look at your smile!” It’s the perfect way to start each day.

Even While you are a very, very content little baby, we can tell that you are taking things in. When I wave at you, you get the biggest smile, and your little fingers start moving up and down on your leg…you haven’t quite figured out that your hand has to come up too!
While looking at you sometimes throws me into a moment of
deja-vu, because of your amazing resemblance to your sister, you two couldn’t
be more different. And it’s crazy how
many differences we see already, at 6 months old.
Where Sophia was a tiny baby, always below the 50th
percentile for weight, you, buddy, are much bigger! I’ve always heard that a growing boy will
eat you out of house and home, but I was sure that didn’t start until you were
in your teens. Not you! Ryland, you eat every 3 hours. On the dot. I can tell time by your appetite! And now that we’ve started solids, I can see
that you are going to be a much better eater than your sister. Where Sophia’s taste palate
is more like your dad’s, limited to say the least, you enjoy a wide variety of
foods.
Sophia has been your chef.
She absolutely loves to make your foods for you, and I enjoy the
help. You eat up all of your veggies
and all of your fruits. Every last
drop. Funny, but your favorite is
absolutely butternut squash. You love to
grab the spoon and try and feed yourself, but many times the squash ends up on
your forehead instead of in your mouth.
You haven’t yet started talking, but you are the most vocal little guy! When we are in the car listening to music, I am certain that you are singing along, as you coo and babble nonstop!

And your laugh! Oh man
is it the best sound. No one can make
you laugh better than your sister. Your
dad and I love to just sit back and watch these interactions. It’s as if you two are the only two in the
world. You are mesmerized by her, and
she loves the attention you give her.
She plays peek a boo with you, tickles you, and just talks to you. And you laugh and laugh and laugh.
Ryland, You are the newest love of my life. And you complete our family. Each and every day we are so thankful for the smiles and laughs that you bring us. We are in awe of the love you and your sister share already. And we can’t wait for the adventures yet to come.
With all my love,
Momma
