Happy Half-Birthday, Grace! :)

6 months. Can you believe we are halfway to Gracie's first birthday?

This has been a big month for us. We spent a lot of time outside, enjoying the beautiful Louisiana weather. I went on my first work trip, sans-baby, and we all survived. We went out for frozen yogurt and little miss got her first taste of treats. Grace's first tooth made an appearance about a week ago and the second is not far behind. Lot's of exciting things in these parts. :)


Here are some other fun G facts:

-She waves! This is a new thing and it is only occasionally, although we are working on "hi" and "bye-bye".

-Smiles at everything. Taking pictures has gone to a whole new level of fun.


-Wears size 2 diapers

-Is in 6-9 month clothes

-Still loves Sophie, her favorite chew toy :)

-Weighs 17lbs 10oz, as of this morning. In the 90th percentile

-Is 27.5 inches tall, also 90th percentile


-Has started getting up on her hands and knees, no crawling yet! (But lots of pushing herself backwards...)

-Is really wobbly when sitting, hasn't quite mastered it. Gets too excited to focus on balancing herself with her hands!


-Loves her puppies. Has started interacting with the pups and reaches out to "pet" them all.the.time. Petting mostly involves trying to rip their hair out or poke them in the eyes. Lovely.


-Still looks so much like her daddy and lights up when she sees him walk into the room.

-LOVES music. We sing lots of "Row, row, row your boat" these days...

-Will open her mouth and lean forward to "kiss back" when she hears you go "Mmmmmuah!!!"


-Still drinks bottles like it's her job. Probably about 32-36 oz a day. More if she's teething. We are working on breakfast, lunch, and dinnertime baby food, but some days she's just not interested.

-Is so interested in everything outside. Loves walks or watching daddy throw the ball to the dogs.


I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of stuff, but that's a rough overview of life these days. Things around the M household are just so much fun. We all live for the weekends and lazy mornings where we can begin our days with family playtime, followed by group naps or a long walk. Grace is such a laid back little girl. So happy and content to just spend time being silly with us. I can't wait to see if that personality sticks with her as she grows. For now, she is welcome to slow down a little bit though! :)

xo,
