Happy Half Birthday!

Sweet Asher,

You are now 6 months old, you big dude!  Now that you're half a year, you:

• wear 6-9 month clothing (and fill them out, too!)
• weigh 19lb (75%) - 1.5lb bigger than your big brother
• are 27in long (75%) - .5in longer than that other guy
• love to eat.  So far you've had rice cereal, oatmeal, peas, carrots, and sweet potatoes.  You pretty much like it all (hence the 19lb I guess!)
• love to roll and roll and roll.  We can't leave you anywhere high!  
• are a big fan of Sophie the Giraffe, the exersaucer, doorway jumper, play gym, and books (mostly you just like to eat them), but your favorite "toy" is Caden.  You love him so much!  You  gaze at him adoringly and he always gets the best smiles out of you.  I know you two will have your share of arguments over toys and sharing, but I hope that you will always be best buddies like you are now.  
• are a great sleeper!  You sleep between 11-12 hours and night and take 2-3 naps a day, depending on what we're doing and how disrupted your naps are (poor second child!)
• are still happy, smiley, easy going, mellow, joyful, delightful, peaceful, handsome, lovable, darling... I could really go on forever, I adore you.

I can't believe you are 6 months old already!  I don't know how this is going so fast this time.  I'm loving every moment that I get to spend with you.  Your sweet smile help keep everything in perspective.  You, your brother, and your daddy are what's important to me.  Thanks for always smiling and reminding me of that.

Happy half birthday, Asher!  This time we let Caden eat your cake, but just wait 6 more months...
