Auggie Bear,

We’ve hit month six somehow and I’m handling it better than expected. Month 6 is safe in my mind somehow and here I sit just knowing that month 7 is going to be the one that sets me over the edge. It’s the other side of a year, like 36 will be for me I’m sure 😉

You’re still not sleeping. Confused yet? Noticing a pattern? Each month it’s all you are/aren’t sleeping still and the thing is, nothing is consistent. We try so hard to get things into a routine but rad and rowdy over here keep messing us up. I’ve lasted a lot longer this round with you than I ever would have made it with this bigs, mainly bc I know how fleeting the time is. You’ll sleep one day, and I’ll be in this horrible place where you no longer need to be rocked to sleep and the snuggles are less than 3 seconds long even on a good day. So for now, just know that 90% of the time I’m good with it and not dying inside (the other 10% of the time I truly am dying of sleep deprivation…..so we’ will just blame that).

You still haven’t eaten but we are going to give that a whirl any day now. I feel like you may be like Roo and all about that, but we shall see. You aren’t sitting up, but again it is close. I’m sure of it. Your brothers are by far your favorite and you are just so squishy and wonderful that we can’t stand to be away from you for more than naps entail (well, unless theyre under 30 minutes in which case we’re good…rest on little one).

I know I know, not many updates this month, but the thing is, you’re just that wonderful. We just sit and smile at your spinning in your exersaucer or gumming a toy and watch your eyes smile right back at us. You are so easy to please and fit so well in our little family. Your family. Goodness sweet boy we love you to the moon and stars and can’t wait to celebrate you making it halfway to your first year! I promised the boys we’d do cake or cupcakes and we havent yet, but I plan to make that happen. Maybe you can have a lick of the icing as I break all the rules for yet another baby 🙂

I love you Auggie Bear. So very much!
