Auntie Sara Visits

Auntie Sara came a day early for Gracyn's baptism. She was playing smart, coming early to get a little extra face time with Miss Gracyn. She's a smart auntie for sure!

She brought a new toy and a few new dresses that are perfect for summer. Here are a few pics from her photoshoot with the little lady.

Ride 'em Cowgirl?

Pretty girl with a Hot Pink Bow!

Pure Cuteness!

The gumball machine is a fun toy & it's Pediatric Therapist approved, too!  

Is someone teething? I think yes.

Happy Mother's Day

Gracyn,

We had such a wonderful first Mother's Day together. I love you so much and look forward to every day with you!

Love, Mama

6 MONTHS

Gracyn today you are SIX months old!

We are so lucky to have a beautiful, smart and happy little girl and can't believe we're halfway to your first year! Here's what you've been up to:

Stats: 26" long / 16.1 lbs

Diapers: Stage 3

Clothes: Size 6mths

Food: Stage 1 fruits & vegetables + formula 4 times a day

Naps: 3 naps per day for about 1.5-2 hours. Your 5 o'clock naps is the shortest.

- Eating solid food! Yeah! So far you've enjoyed the gourmet delights of green beans, sweet potatoes, peaches, applesauce, bananas, carrots, rice cereal & oatmeal.

- Sitting up! You had been working hard at sitting up since 5 1/2 months, but you really got it on May 1st!

- You enjoy taking walks in your stroller, although you DO NOT like to have the wind blow on you.

- You have spent some fun afternoons in the backyard while we work on our herb & veggie garden.

- You have out grown your "baby straight jacket" AKA swaddle and sleep wearing your sleep sack! Your grandmas really LOVE this!

Here's a look back at the last 6 months...and one year ago...

A note from GoldieLocks

Finally, I'm growing some hair! Yeah for me! I know one day it will be golden, long and flowing...but for now it's just fuzzy.

Exactly what do they do all day?

There are a lot of times during the day that I think about my 3 sweeties at home and wonder what they're doing. Napping, eating, playing fetch, napping, eating...these are the answers I get when I call to ask.

But, what really happens, that they hope I never find out about? Well, I usually find the evidence when I get home at night. The carseat is out of place...hmm, so they went somewhere; the vacuum is out...so they were cleaning (ok, so that's just a dream, it's never really happened); why is the camera in the kitchen...and the pictures tell the truth.

What happens when Mama's away...too cute!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Months!

Happy 5 Months Gracyn!

Here's what you are up to:
- Solid food: tried it, hated it...we're still working on it. We know that you are going to love big girl food, it will just take some time to get used to the change. Daddy makes a mean steak, so I'm sure you'll come around eventually!
- You love you're ExcerSaucer and have figured out all the toys. You play well by yourself and only get frustrated with the bucket toy, so we had to take that one off.
- Everything goes into your mouth! There are no signs of a tooth yet, but I'm sure they're on the way!
- You are working on sitting alone and you love to stand up on the lap of whoever is holding you.
- You are constantly moving some part of your body, even while you eat, and you are not a fan of snuggling since that requires being still for too long!

We love and can't wait to see what Month 6 brings!
