Chris took me on a birthday trip in Feb, and I wasn't allowed to do any work. To say that work has been busy and stressful would be an understatement. When you wake up thinking about it and find yourself in the bathroom at 3am looking at your email in the dark so as not to wake up your husband...you know that you have issues. So we went to Miami for 3 nights, and it was amazing. Probably one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed in. He did this birthday up. Great meals out, some shopping, a half day at the spa, being able to sleep in past 5:30am, a room that had it's own doorbell and an ocean view complete with dolphins. We had never been to Miami for longer than a night on our way to the Keys, but I think we'll be back. It was a blast.
The half birthday was celebrated with his 6 month check and a round of shots, however the croup and ear infection are now gone (whew). He weighs in at 17.5lbs, and 29 inches long. 50% weight (down from the 80%) and holding steady at 95% height. The kid has legs, and we know he doesn't get that from me. He's a happy, super mellow baby and nothing really bothers him. He sleeps all night, but isn't a big nap fan. He got his first tooth, and started eating solid food. He's close to crawling but we're not encouraging that yet. He also graduated to the permanent car seats. We practically had to borrow from his college fund they're so outrageous, but he did help out on our taxes so we'll cut him a break. He won't be a baby for long so we try to enjoy all the moments, even the not so awesome ones. When you have someone that will laugh with you while one of you catches poop in their bare hand or lets you know about the smeared snot on your shirt...thats the real deal.

He is so freakin' CUTE! I hope we'll see him at Miller's b-day party in a couple of weeks.
