Today is your sixth month in this world.

In the early autumn, after a whole summer, you entered the first autumn of your life.

I still remember that just after beginning of spring, you came into this world in the cold spring.

In the warm spring, you grow like a seed that has just sprouted and broken ground; In midsummer cicada singing, you have richer expressions and life skills.

After six months, you have more abilities.

You can sit down.

In midsummer afternoon, cicadas are chirping. I will play on the climbing mat with you.

It turns out that you can only turn over, not sit, but lie down or be held in your arms. Lying down for a long time will make you a little annoyed, so I will also sit on the climbing mat, hug you and let you sit in my arms and play with toys.

Later, it occurred to me that I wanted to see if you could sit by yourself, so I tentatively let go of your hand and I flinched. As a result, you still sat steadily for nearly a minute.

It's amazing! At this moment, you can sit like this. I can't help exclaiming: Can you sit brightly! While showing my mother's surprised and gratified smile, I couldn't help but pick up the video and record this important moment.

You are getting better and better at playing with toys.

After sitting, you can play with toys more conveniently. Except some rattles and building blocks, everything that can be held in your hand has become your toy.

A fan, a bag, a cup, a piece of paper, anything you can hold at hand, you are full of curiosity, you can hold it in your hand and play with relish for half a day.

You pick them up, tear them apart, pat them, bite them with your mouth, and often sit there alone and have fun.

You are full of novelty about everything, even a little fond of the new and tired of the old. When you see a novelty that you have never seen before, your interest immediately shifts to the past. You throw away your toys and catch them. If I don't give it to you, I won't be able to bear it, even crying and protesting.

You are looking for something to play almost all the time. Sometimes when I wake up, I often don't cry or make trouble. First turn over, lie on the bed, hold up your upper body with your hands, raise your head and look around with your eyes pedaled, then grab a small thin quilt next to you or play with toys placed on a nearby pillow.

One morning when I left you, you were still sleeping. When you go back to your room, you wake up in surprise. You are lying in bed, flipping through the books I bought for you and playing, just like reading a book.

Seeing this scene, I feel very surprised and gratified. Is such a young child born to like books? I think you should be a child who likes reading.

I also hope you will like it when you grow up and read more books. Reading can make you see the bigger world.

After half a year, you began to supplement food.

You showed your interest in food very early, and you like to watch others eat. Someone teases you, puts food in front of your eyes, and you want to grab it with your hands and stuff it in your mouth.

In view of this situation, and considering that babies about six months old can also add complementary food, I will start feeding you some porridge.

The first meal I fed you was millet porridge.

I skim the top layer of rice oil from millet porridge, put it in a small bowl and spoon it to you.

As soon as you saw me coming to you with a bowl, you danced with excitement, your mouth opened wide and you looked hungry. Grandma had to hold your hand and let me send a spoonful of gruel to your mouth smoothly. At first, you didn't know how to swallow. You can basically eat half, and then you get better and better, and your food gets better and better.

Ironically, when I first gave you medicine, you were very excited.

I put the powder in the small bowl that I usually feed you and walked towards you. As soon as you see it, you keep shaking your head and clapping your hands, waiting for you to eat. The whole feeding process was surprisingly smooth. On the one hand, I am a little lucky, on the other hand, I can't help laughing: silly child, I don't know that medicine is bitter, but I still eat so happily.

Later, I found out that you are very smart. The second time I took the medicine, I had tasted the bitter taste and didn't say anything. I had to be cruel to open my mouth when you were crying and pour the medicine spoonful by spoonful.

Six months later, you had your first fever.

When you become a mother, the last thing you can see is that your baby is sick. When you see other children sick, you can't help but feel the same.

Fortunately, you have been healthy since birth and have hardly been to the hospital.

That morning, you suddenly had a fever and gave me a fright.

Ever since I had you, I have been worried that you are too hot and too cold, and I have been careful.

On a hot summer night, I don't turn on the air conditioner, and I feel a sticky sweat on you. When you turn on the air conditioner, I'm afraid you'll kick the quilt and freeze. In short, the air conditioner must be turned on and off two or three times a night.

However, this is impossible to stop. At four o'clock in the morning, you still have a fever of 38 degrees without warning, and your whole body is hot. Grandma and I quickly took you to the nearest health center and called a doctor to see you.

Fortunately, it's nothing serious. It's just a common cold. The doctor applied traditional Chinese medicine ointment to reduce the fever and prescribed some medicine.

Because of the fever, you lost your usual liveliness and spirit, but you didn't cry either. When the doctor treated you, you even cracked your mouth and smiled at the doctor. You're amazing!

You saw a doctor, took the medicine, and the fever soon went down. My hanging heart was finally put down.

After six months, your resistance to your mother is weakened, and you may have a headache and brain fever. It's normal, but I think you should adapt yourself psychologically, learn the common sense of common diseases of infants and young children from actions, and deal with possible diseases in daily life.

In the past six months, you have experienced a once-in-a-century rainstorm and epidemic.

On July 20th, Zhengzhou, the city where you were born, suffered a serious waterlogging disaster caused by heavy rain.

Continuous heavy rainfall has turned the whole city into Wang Yang. Passengers were trapped in the subway, countless cars and shops were flooded, pedestrians were trapped on the road, roads collapsed, and water and electricity were cut off in the community. ...

On July 30th, Zhengzhou, which had just recovered from the rainstorm, suffered a severe COVID-19 epidemic.

In less than ten days, the number of confirmed cases and asymptomatic infected people in the province has reached more than 100. The blockade area has been delineated, and all personnel have been repeatedly tested, and the epidemic prevention work has been carried out in an orderly manner. Until now, the epidemic has not been controlled.

Years later, when you mention these disasters, you may know nothing except that it happened in the year when you were born.

I had hoped that when you were born, there would be no COVID-19 in this world, but the reality is cruel, and COVID-19 will probably normalize and live with human beings for a long time.

It may be normal to wear masks when you grow up. Without COVID-19, you can't realize the free world where we don't need to wear masks before 2020.

I want you to know that things will change. Human beings are too small in the face of natural and man-made disasters such as heavy rain and infectious diseases. At the same time, human beings are so tenacious that we have not been defeated by disasters again and again, and we have become stronger.

I also firmly believe that this disaster will eventually pass, and everything will get better and better, whether it is a flood or an epidemic.

Love your eldest daughter.
