Happy Half Birthday, Baby



I can't believe it, today is Gracie's half birthday. She is officially six months old. She has accomplished so much! She rolls-everywhere! We'll put her down on one side of the room and blink-suddenly she's on the other side. Baby food is still a little struggle, as she much prefers to nurse. It's getting a little better each day and she has tried sweet peas, green beans, and carrots along with rice cereal. She can almost sit up on her own, but tends to try and grab something in front of her and flop forward. If she's on her tummy and the kitty comes and sits just out of reach, she grabs at Mary and has even lifted her butt and tried to scoot forward to get to the kitty. Of course, Mary watches this with an entertained look on her face, and scoots farther away if Gracie has any success at all. She loves her toes and plays with them whenever she can. She has sucked on them a few times, and looks very confused when we put her in feetie pajamas! "Momma! Where'd my toes go?!" She is still a great sleeper, and has even changed her own bedtime from nine to seven! I usually wake her up around 6:30 for breakfast and put her back to bed. She gets Brian up between 8:30 and 10:00 but still finds time to nap for an hour or two at noon and is often sleeping when I get home around four!
