5.5 Months

December is already half way over… or do we still have half left -
glass half full or half empty… Whatever.  Ayden is now five and
half months into his little life.  He is changing and developing
so quickly that I can hardly keep up.  Every time I turn around he
is doing something new or has finessed something he’s been working on
for awhile.  As the pictures in the Mid December 2005
gallery will show, he’s fully reaching for and grabbing things now -
whether it’s a toy or your lip.  He chatters, or rather hollars,
at us like we know what he’s talking about (we don’t).  He smiles
and laughs easily now - and I can’t get enough of that!  He’s
curious and amazed and enthralled by EVERYTHING.  When I hold him
facing me, he likes to bury his head in my chest and nuzzle around…
SO SWEET!  And to top it all off, I get to spend every minute of
every day with him, and I feel like the luckiest person on the face of
this planet.  I wouldn’t change a thing.

    I love the pictures! And I love the nuzzling thing too. Mmmmmmmm, baby snarfles. ;) I can’t believe how aware he looks now. He’s so animated and bright eyed. Boy are you guys in trouble. ;) I am so excited that we’re moving closer so that I won’t miss any more of his growing up. I can’t wait!

    Ohh watching the development is the best. And he will only get sweeter with time. I love all the new pics. He is so adorable. I love the chubby cheeks! :)
