six.

and then he was six.  six months.

how in the world did you get this old?  who is this smiley, strawberry blond, two bottom and one snaggle toothed six month old? 

drew, you are a total sweetheart.  you melt everyone with that huge smile of yours, and those bright eyes.  how could you not??  let's go over just a few stats of where you are at, at a mighty six months:

stats: n/a.  12-18 month clothes, so let's just chalk it up as you're a monster.
foods: loving all veggies and drinking 6 ounces of formula every 3 hours.
sleeping: all through the night since 10 weeks!  you finally learned how to fall asleep without a swaddle, and no more fighting me to fall asleep.  the 2.5 hours of {shushing/bouncing/crying} trying to fall asleep...well, basically sucked.
milestones: you love your tummy time.  hate sitting.  rolling anywhere and everywhere.  james especially loves when you sneak up on him when he's playing cars.  he laughs and screams, "dooo! you getting me!"  
favorites: your blankie.  sophie.
new things: cloth diapers. helmet. three chompers.
personality: laid back like daddy.  i'm gonna go ahead and appreciate it while you're little, but, don't even think about keeping it like your dad.  because quite honestly, i can hardly put up with just him.  i don't need two suuuuupppppeerrrrrrr slow, inable to tell time, laid back boys to make me late everywhere!  

most of all, drew, you make our family whole.  you taught me that my heart {and lap} is big enough for two boys.  you taught me that i am capable of a lot more than i thought i was.  you taught me that your mama bear knows when to trust her instincts, and will do all i can to do whats right for you and your brother.  thank you for being the apple of my eye.

i love you, drewbear!
love, mama

{sigh}. my heart.
