Dear Vivian,

I can’t believe it, you are 6 months old already.  Just yesterday you were a tiny little 6 pound baby and now you are probably more like 12-14 pounds (your appointment is coming up so then we’ll know for sure).  It’s been a little bit of time since I’ve written you a letter but I think these last few months have been my favorite. You are the happiest and most chill baby I’ve ever met and we don’t know how we got so lucky with you. You smile when others smile at you.  You let others hold you without fuss. You went out with Mommy to a Bachelor watching finale party and stayed up and partied with the girls and never cried or fussed once even though it was past your bed time. The next day you napped from 10AM – 6PM. You are on a pretty good sleep and eating schedule now, although we still need to work on sleeping through the night. 😉 You drink breastmilk predominantly with a little formula from time to time. You mostly drink out of the bottle now but do nurse for comfort at night sometimes.

You love grabbing at things with your tiny little fingers. Your legs are turning into delicious chub that I could just eat up all the time. You love diaper changes and baths. Your smile is just contagious. You like eating bananas, A LOT and we are slowly trying to introduce more solid foods to you. You’ve modeled for Freshly Picked (pictures to come later) and have another modeling gig coming up at the end of the month. Even though it is your nap time, you can still smile through a photoshoot and then nap later. You are a dream. You are the best baby and I hope your personality stays sweet, mellow, happy forever and ever. 🙂

Love,

Mommy
