In 5 days Bradley will be 6 months! Wow it has gone by so fast for me. I am sure it's from the lack of sleep these last 6 months (Brad has not been the best sleeper). We have loved every minute of watching Brad hitting each little milestone. He has started to roll over and now always wants to be on his tummy. He is very much into everything that is going on around him and never wants to be left out. He always wants what you have in your hands or be apart of what you are doing. Which makes eating really hard. He loves to smile at anyone who will catch his eye. He even likes talking with Grandma and Grandpa on the webcam. He is a very happy baby but always wants to be held. He also loves blowing raspberries. This weekend we decided it was time for him to try some rice cereal. On our weekly Friday night shopping trip we got all the supplies. On Saturday we tried giving him some for the first time. I really didn't think that he would like it because he is very picky about how he eats (he will not take a bottle and likes to eat in a quite place). He did better than I thought. He didn't love it but I know it will take practice.
Today I came in the room and both Wes and Brad were laying on the floor. Wes was doing silly things to make Bradley giggle. It was so cute. Even though I don't get a lot of sleep, have to deal with tantrums, do everything with a baby in my arms, clean up millions of messes, I wouldn't trade any of it for these moments.
