Happy Half Birthday, Son!

Hey Koley,
This is mommy and daddy.  We are sneaking onto your blog to write you a special Half Birthday message.  You are 6 months old today!  Happy Happy Half Birthday!  You are the best boy parents could ask for.  You are a very happy, smiley baby.  We love coming up with new ways to make you smile.  Or laugh.  And we have learned that it has to be actually funny to make you laugh.  Peek-a-boo doesn't always work.  You have a grown up sense of humor that makes you all the more charming.  You are such a big boy now and we are very proud of you.
Right now your absolute favorite thing is the bouncy horse from your cousin Greta.  You haven't even had it a week but you are obsessed with it!  We're surprised you haven't blogged about it yet.  It is all you want to talk about.  You get in there and hop hop hop hop hop hop and then you lay your head down and breathe and then hop hop hop hop hop hop.  For hours.  Not kidding.  Hours.  And you are smiling the whole time.

You also like to see how fast you can roll.  We've started bringing you downstairs a lot more.  It's carpeted down there.  Dad calls it the Koley Cannoli Emporium.  At first you just lay there and smile and look around and then... when you think no one is looking... BAM!  You're up and rolling.  You can roll from one side of the room to the other without even breaking a sweat.  You do sweat sometimes.  Which, to us, is surprising.  We thought only adults sweat.

You have a very big heart, Kole.  You love everyone you come in contact with.  Especially, your family.  You find a way to show us you love us every day.  Sometimes it's by rubbing your head on our shoulders, or giving a soft cuddle, or smiling really big at a joke or dance that maybe wasn't that funny.

We love you so much.  We are thankful you have made our family whole.
Happy 6 months, son.

Love,
Momsy and Popsicle
