Our Little Guy is 6 Months

Baby Gus is 6 months old today. I know people say this way to much but time literally does fly. We're so thankful for this little man in our lives and can't imagine what life was like 6 months ago.


Gus is still a dream baby. He gets sweeter by the minute. You can't help but love him up with kisses and snuggles when you see his face and he flashes that to-die-for grin of his. 

He and Mabel are so in love. She calls him "Gula Ba-loo Ba-loo" and he loves to pull her hair. She loves to make him laugh with her dance moves, a good tickle, or a loud "BOO".


I love his BIG beautiful bald head. This kid definitely has brains. He is such an observer of his surroundings, he looks so curious but stays very calm.

  
 

He is working hard trying to crawl so he can catch up to Mabel. For now he rolls to where ever he needs to go. He loves to roll around in Mabel's room and for some reason always gets under her bed? 

The other day I caught him rolling after Mabel's left over ice cream. He watched her eat it and when she was done, of course left it to go and play, he spotted it from across there play area.



 

He finally got to the spoon and knew exactly what to do with it. There was just a tiny bit and he was so determined I had to let him try it. 

 
 

Right after this picture I took the spoon and the saddest tears fell.

He also loves to listen to music and watch Mabel dance. Mabel is sort of an instrument jumper in that she plays whatever she sees someone else playing. Gus usually sticks with the moroccas and sometimes gets to strum the guitar. Dance sessions in the kitchen happen several times a day in our house

The past 6 months with this guy have been so wonderful. We're still not getting a lot of sleep with Mr. I never skip a meal, but it's all worth it. If I could I would freeze time right now and never sleep again if he would stay 6 months forever.

  
 

This morning we walked up the street to the house with grass for some pictures. Mabel was helping us to make Gus smile and like the rest of us, couldn't resist giving him a big smooch.
