Happy 6 months Grace!!

Grace is 6 months old TODAY! Man, how time has flown! Mom, asked me the other day if I could imagine my life without her now and I say "NO"! Mine (and Adam's) life completely revolve around her! She is on my mind constantly! Adam laughs at me because when I am away from her for work or whatever reason, I will call him and ask every little detail about what is going on- from "what time she ate", "if she is playing now", "what she is doing exactly", "what time she got up from her nap", "what time she went down for a nap or bedtime", "when he put her in the bath", "what he put on her when he went out", "if she's had her reflux medicine", etc. etc. It is not because I don't trust Adam with her because he is perfectly capable of taking care of her and does a WONDERFUL job! (I am sooo thankful for him!) I guess I just want to know these things to make me feel better about being away and it makes me feel like I am still caring for her while I am away. It also assures me that everything is OK!

Grace is:

  • Still working on sitting up! She can stay up longer but still topples!!!
  • Turns from her back to her stomach all of the time now but get on her stomach and acts "stuck". (She won't turn now from her stomach to back)!! She acts like she forgot how!! LOL
  • Growing, growing, growing. As a matter of fact- she could slow down! Ha! Ha! Her height is not catching up with the rest of her!! LOL
  • Likes to put cold teethers in her mouth but no sign of a tooth yet (I don't think)
  • Puts everything in her mouth!
  • Started doing a little move with her leg when she is sitting. It looks like she is doing a dance with her right leg! (Don't know what that is about!)
  • Is OUT OF THE SWADDLE!!! This has been a little bit of a battle for a couple of months now. We have tried but gave in when it seemed she wouldn't sleep as well without it. She has been without it for over 2 days now and she STILL sleeps! Praise God! (This became evident that we had to do this when we found her in the crib the other morning rolled over on her stomach in the swaddle! She had managed to get her arms out, which she has been doing for a while! Plus, she was getting too big for the swaddle anyways!)

I know there is more but I will leave you with a picture from today. She wore tights to church today for the first time!
