Happy half birthday, Baby! I would have made you a cake, but formula doesn’t hold its shape too well. Here’s what you’ve been up to. You have…

+ Perfected puking. Thanks, plague!
+ Increased your rolling speed and ability. You still don’t roll much from your back to your tummy, but why would you? You hate being on your tummy!
+ Gotten a case of the grabbies. I’m going to have to strap your hands down whenever we go to the store because you want to pull everything off the shelves. You are also reaching out to try and get your toys, but you can’t quite figure out how to move where you want to go.
+ Tasted cucumber, carrot, and apple. You also ate a wee tiny bit of banana and of oatmeal. None of these things seem to impress you.
+ Learned how to sit on your own for a few seconds before wobbling over.
+ Developed a reading habit. Your current favorites are Goodnight Moon, The Runaway Bunny, and Just So Stories. You seem to really like it when I use different voices, and you really like it when I let you chew on the books.
+ Discovered laughing.
