Dear Daddy,
This morning was another early morning... I'm backing it up earlier and earlier-it's getting to be toward 6:30 now.
This morning mommy and I got a package-it was my daddy doll! It was a nice surprise because we weren't expecting it for another couple of weeks. I love it!
Today I started green beans. I LOVE them more than any other vegetable... I ate the whole bowl! All of the other vegetables I only eat half the bowl (about an ounce).

We went to my 6 month check-up, and I did really well. I am 16lbs 7oz and 26 1/2 inches. The doctor said that object permanence has almost sunk in with me-so the next step is stranger anxiety. Mommy is soooo excited for that to start! I had my shots, and mommy was sad because I was a bleeder. I did pretty good though... nothing was as bad as that very first time. Thank goodness you were there for that. We walked around the hospital a little bit, since we have to wait and make sure I didn't have a reaction, and then I got hungry so after I ate we left.Today I tried water for the first time. I seemed to like it pretty well. Mommy would much rather I learned to use a sippy with water in it rather than sticky apple prune juice!
I was surprisingly good tonight for having had my shots. I was VERY talkative and just wanted to play... so mommy and I just played and played and played and had fun together.Lots of things are different now-I can have Motrin, I can wear sunblock-mommy went and got me some today, so now I can be in the sun without mommy wrapping me up like a little mummy. She'll still be obsessed, but not AS bad. SPF 55 just doesn't seem like it would be enough... but it'll have to do. Like you saw, I can start having a little bit of water. I'm all clear as far as food goes, but mommy wouldn't have cared if they would have been mad at her anyway.
I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
