6 month birthday

happy 6 month birthday, z!  yay!  we haven't killed you yet!  you're still alive.  and we feel happy & blessed to call you our son.  the time, for mommy at least, has gone very slowly, but there have been things to enjoy & appreciate with each stage.  (not to mention the challenges, but...)  our beautiful 6 month old is peeing & using the potty (when we put him there in time).  he likes sweet potatoes, oatmeal, green beans, and i think his favorite is bananas.  mommy is still pumping, but just 3-4 times a day.  she is still lacking sleep, but not quite as bad as a month ago.  no teeth yet.  z is sleeping fairly well, although it could always be better.  and he seems to have nightmares.  he'll start screaming for 1-2 minutes, usually around 9-10pm, only to have it stop as abruptly as it started.  mommy got a night out tonight with a friend, while friend's boyfriend had a playdate with daddy.  mommy went to everett street bistro - pretty good, at least great manhattans!  - and ended with voodoo doughnuts for everyone.  not a big fan of the triple chocolate penetration, but liked the portland creme thing, the ducky one, and the elvis one.  tomorrow brings 6 straight hours of piano rehearsals.  oh dear.
