A Half-Birthday Celebration

I guess I should have known that since I'm the type of person to celebrate my dog's birthday every year that I would also be the type of person to celebrate the half-birthday's of my children. The closer we got to the 6 month mark, the more I realized I couldn't just let it pass by unrecognized. So I gathered some craft supplies up, made a birthday banner, pureed G some food, bought him several presents, and had the grandparents come by to celebrate. Poor guy had zucchini as his b-day treat instead of cake and ice cream...and let me tell you, he was not pleased.

I've been hearing comments that lead me to think that some people think I'm a bit ridiculous. My grandmother told my mom that we better have some more kids, because if we're celebrating his half-birthday he's going to be awfully spoiled if he's the only one :) Arsen also made a remark about the fact that he got six gifts for six months and that it was insane, but in reality he only got five gifts...so ha! Totally not insane.

Even though I realize Grayson will absolutely never remember anything about his "celebration", and that yes, it might seem a bit crazy, I loved doing something special for my special guy. I'm really thriving on this mama stuff I think, so what can I say...it makes me happy. And a happy mama makes for a happy baby and a happy daddy, yes?

But I promise we won't have an actual celebration for every half birthday. Only the first one. I think. Actually, I'm not making any promises...
