Atlas! Happy Half Birthday! You are officially six months old today and I am so proud of you. You continue to amaze me everyday with you expressions, eagerness to learn and just plain adorableness. You are growing every minute and I joke tomorrow you are going to get married and move out. But, here is something I tell you everyday because you are all these things and I want you to remember them forever. Happy Half Birthday Mr. Man, Mama loves you so much.
You are so strong
You grab on to things and now you dont want to let go. You lift your 1 oz bar bell multiple times a day and your sleeveless shirts show the guns out when the suns out. You love tummy time and while doing push ups you grunt like your dada and your grandpa the Rock.
You are so smart
You love learning new things. From how to swim, to how things work the house like the faucet and the “Milkie Machine.“ You know your name, the sound of mama and dada’s voice and the kitty and the puppy siblings make you laugh so much.
You are so tall
You came home barely fitting into newborn clothes now you are wearing 3-6 months becuase you are so tall. You hate your footie pajamas and love to kick. You now have a jumper and a Jeep to keep your little feet busy. We try and swim as much as we can and now that you are learning to crawl you attempt to swim on land- my little sea monster.
You are so patient
You communicate with us so well. You let us know when you are sleepy, hungry or sometimes just grumpy. We are all learning together and we appreciate you being so patient with yourself and others. You are learning to pet the kitties and puppy, how to crawl and we know a tooth is coming soon. You are learning its hot in Arizona and cold things are where its at. Continue to be patient my love, I am learning from you and I thank you for it.
You are so kind
You get along with everyone and are so attentive to new experiences. You are gentle, but alert. You are cautious, but brave. You will learn to love everyone and respect everyone. With your cousin coming soon you will be a great example and you will have amazing friends surrounding you in life.
You are so handsome
You have the most perfect eyelashes and they grow every day. Your big brown eyes are mesmerizing. Your butt chin is the utmost adorable. You look like your mommy, your daddy and you look like you- Atlas. I wouldnt change anything about you from the inside out. You are healthy and it shows and you glow and thats all that matters.
You are so brave
You try new things, like foods including your greens. You trust the water and your natural instinct of swimming. You want to stand much more than you want to crawl. Of the few bumps and bruises we have laughed through them all. Make sure to use your big brain and think, but youll do just fine trying one thing at a time.
There is much more that you are and I will continue to tell you every day. Atlas thank you for making us the happiest and creating the best last 6 months of our lives. Cheers to many many many more - thanks for picking us as parents.
XoXo
Britt Mom
