Time flies and I feel like this winter cold (sickness), will never end.  We keep transferring it back and forth to each other and I wish that I could just rip it out and throw it in the garbage!
Wally:
 Wally loves to reach for things, face toys people…., he still loves being held and doesn’t like being left alone to play.  Wally has recently figured out the Johnny Jump Up and loves it!  He loves bouncing and turning round and round. 
At his 6 months check up Wally weighed 17.5 lbs and was 27.5 inches long.  He is becoming quite the solid boy.  He loves food and is wanting to eat our food more and more.  I am introducing a sippy cup and he is slowly figuring out how to drink out of it. 
            Wally has become much more content in the last 2 months.  He loves to give big smiles and loves laughing at Bella.  They are now wanting to play with the same toy and Bella is not doing the greatest job of sharing.  If Wally has it then she wants it, we are trying to learn patience and sharing!  If you lay Wally down on his back he will lift up his head and legs in a pike position instead of relaxing and laying down.  He has started to reach out his arms when he wants you to pick him up. It is so sweet!
He still does not have any teeth but loves to chew on his tongue, suck on his sleep sack, pajamas, or blanket while he falls asleep, and put whatever he can in his mouth.
Wally is still challenging me daily and He and Bella are frustrating me often and I am continually learning patience and more patience.  I have realized that the life of a mother is never what you expected it to be before you had kids!  It is equally fun and challenging and a hundred times more surprising that you could ever have thought!


Bella is in dance class and loves it!  She has a harder time focusing but I'm pretty sure that runs in the family!  Bella enjoys singing and dancing and blowing bubbles.  She likes showing Wally that she is the older sister by stealing his toys and pushing him over when she thinks that I'm not looking.  Bella loves to talk and knows all of her cousins and aunts and uncles and grand parents and friends names and faces!  This girl is very smart in her mothers opinion!
