Dear Thatcher,
Happy half-birthday to our sweet boy! I can’t believe you are already six months old. You are such a joy in our home. You always wake up happy, smiling, and “talking”. We love watching your little personality develop, you are quick to smile at just about anyone and have become quite the chatter box. You love to pull on Jacks ears and “pet” Cleo. You have started giving “puppy kisses” (giant slobbery open mouth kissed on the cheek) and love to snuggle and be close to mommy and daddy.

 You are pretty good at sitting up by yourself and think that you are such a big boy sitting on the floor to play with your toys. You can roll both ways when you want to but usually you just lay on the floor close to your toys.

You are a great traveler- we have made a few trips to Rexburg, Pocatello, Twin Falls, McCall and Stanley. You like to look out your window and usually fall asleep before too long. You love being outside looking at the trees and water and animals we can find.

You have so much fun playing in your exersaucer, your moose Norton is always close by too. At night you snuggle with your little blanket bear and we frequently find you “talking” to him in the mornings. You get a quick bath at night before bed to help wash off all the spit up and stickiness from the day. You like to splash in the water and play with the little rubber duck.

We couldn’t imagine our life without your sweet spirit. We are excited to watch you grow and help you learn new things.

We love you forever and always,
Mommy and Daddy
