1/2 a year

Today, THIS little man, is 6 months old!! Wow!

On December 3rd he made his debut. Eyes wide open and looking around, crying only a little and easily pacified. Dark hair and perfect. In 6 little months he has learned so much. He likes to:

• scoot around (not truly crawling but he can get wherever he wants to go) and he gets into everything!
• sit up and play with his toys
• eat baby food, or anything he can get into his mouth
• chase his brother around and he tries to steal Matix's toys
• roll over (both ways), although sometimes it is unplanned and startles him
• take baths (he doesn't even mind when Matix splashes him)
• smile and giggle (he loves attention and will smile or giggle even when he is exhausted and ready for a nap)
• be held and snuggled
• watch Matix (he finds Matix fascinating and watches him all the time)
• go to the beach and pool
• his paci and blankie (both are a must for this guy to sleep at all)

We are all so in love with our little Hawken. Matix runs to his room when we hear him wake up saying "baby baby baby?", so anxious to be the first one to hold him. When Paul comes home from studying he always scoops up the boys and plays with them right away. And of course, I can't get enough of my happy little baby. Hawken is the happiest, easiest, calmest baby ever. Whenever he is cranky, it is only because he is tired, and he's so easy to figure out and calm down. He has brightened our lives and we are so glad he is a part of our family. We love you Hawken.
