6 month baby

Sophias six months of being born is coming up on us. She can now mostly sit on her own without falling to one side or the other. She rolls to her back and belly with ease now. She is kicking her legs when she is on her belly as if she wants to crawl, and she is likely only days away as of now. She doesn't do much in terms of syllables yet, but makes plenty of talking and commotion with her mouth. She can grab her pacifier and place it in her mouth the correct way. We only get one good nap out of her consitently, but she does sleep as well as we can expect during the night. She is really quite interesting to me, but I am not relating to her on the same way that Amanda is. Amanda is putting all her time and effort into our daughter and it really shows when I watch the two of them interact. One day I will have something closer to what they have, I just don't have it now. I can't wait until she can understand and interact with me more than what she does now.

We are having some issues with my mom as of lately. At an event, mom thought I was handing Sophia to her when in actuality I was trying to hand Sophia to Amanda. Amanda didn't like this and decided to not answer my moms calls for a while. I decided to intervene and things have gone downhill for all three of us now. Mom has decided that her pride is more important than admitting she may have done what happened, and Amanda is doing nothing with my Mom present until an apology happens. Neither of us are real happy about what has happened but we are where we are.

I am not sure what is going to happen from all this. I am going to be hit with a huge tax bill this year. Amanda wants a place where we can board horses. Mom is going on about losing her oldest son. I am qualified to teach, for all purposes wherever I decide I want to live. Teaching is less money but less work and less tax bill. All I can really think is that a marriage is supposed to be a cleve from your parents and a dedication to my spouse. I can't bring this up to her without upsetting her more, but my job as a person is to be a husband and father now, not a son that appeases his mother against my wifes honor.
