Come On Grace,,,, You Can Do It!!!!

We are still working on her floor time to develop those upper body muscles. In time,,,, I know. I just keep trying to get her to roll over , sit up, stand up on my lap, or something! I am very thankful she is healthy, so I am not complaining,,, just excited and want her to get on with it!!!!! But,, in the mean time, we will keep playing and practicing. We had a great day today. Yes,, she ate pears, but she didn't seem to like them as much as peas. So we'll see!!!!!

I am 6 months old today!!!!!

Well today is the day!! Grace is 6 months old. I just can't believe it. So,,,, the paper didn't last long. Once she eyed it,,,, it was over! She wanted to eat it up. She is still eating at dinner time. I think peas are her favorite veggie so far. I want to give her pears so bad, but I am trying to do veggies first. I just know she will love the sweetness of them. Another day at home. Myra is still sick, so we will be here tomorrow too. I am getting lots of cleaning done though, so that's good. We've had a great week together so far, so that's a bonus!!!

Just Because!!!!

I love taking pictures of her as she sits up like a big girl. She is still not able to sit alone, but we are working on it. I actually can let go of her for a few seconds. She will balance for a minute,, then BAM either head first or on her back!!! It's cute though. She is taking a nap right now. Today and yesterday she took a long afternoon nap so I was able to clean and get some house chores done. Myra has been sick, so I have been home with her for two days. Adeyiza is in Boston trying to find a place for us to live next year. WOW,,, I need to start packing and getting us ready for this change. Grace will be 6 months in 2 days!!! I will need to take those pictures next. Be looking for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are Friends Now!!!!!

I just wanted everyone to know that Grace has finally agreed to be friends with the giraffes. It took almost 4 months to do so, but better late than never!!!

I Can Eat My Feet!!!

Grace started chewing on her feet last week. It was so cute! It's like a built in toy. Wow cheap too!! She still has a runny nose. The allergy medicine didn't help much. I just made an ENT (ear/nose/throat) doctor appointment for next week. Perhaps they can help with this problem. Other than that,,, she's good to go. She ate peas last night. She loved them!!!!

Church Time!!

OK I know this is my 3 post, but I am making up for slacking. This was in the morning. We all made it to church. Grace is getting better each time. She stayed now for the 3rd Sunday in a row,,,,, the whole entire time. GOOD Girl!! I am very happy she is getting used to other people other than Myra and I. Another week ahead of us. Wow these weeks are going fast. I am excited on one hand,,, but sad on the other!!! However,,,,, I am ready for a NEW chapter in our lives!!! Out with the OLD,,, in with the NEW!!!!

What's the flavor????

OK so day 3 on the food trial. Grace did pretty good with sweet potatoes. I am going to start to give her cereal in the morning and then a veggie for dinner. You know,,, I've talked to 6 different parents and guess what...... they all do something different in regards to feeding. SO,,,,, I am going to do what my doctor told me to do ,,, BUT I am also going to do what I want to as well. I want her to get in a "breakfast" routine, so I will add that morning feeding. Anyway,,, I did give her prunes today. She liked those. Well I think so anyway,,, I don't know she just eats/spits at the same time so I'm really not too sure. It's fun though,,, I love feeding her!!!

I am soooooo CUTE!!!!

I just love these pictures!!!!

Yum Yum,,,, Time to Eat!!!!

We had so much fun feeding Grace tonight. She was so cute!!! Adeyiza recorded the whole thing. She really didn't eat much. She kind of swallowed / gagged, so I hope it gets better for her. I heard it will. She ate sweet potatoes. My doctor said I could do a veggie or fruit, so I went with a veggie. I am trying hard not to give her the "Hackett" sweet tooth. Once you have it.,,,, it's yours forever:) I will try sweet potatoes again tomorrow night and then maybe prunes in two days. See,,, Grace has a bit of a problem going #2 sometimes, so my doctor said stay away from foods that may clog her up even worse. So,,,,, we will hit the prunes soon enough!!!! I just love this new adventure,,,, and I love buying different baby foods. Wow,,, it's just gets better and better!!!!

Who Wears Short Shorts!!!

I bought Grace her first pair of summer shorts. They are soooo cute!! I love all the summer clothes they have for girls. The weather is nice here, so gone with the pants,,,, OUT with the shorts!!!!

6 Month Check UP

OK so Grace had her 6 month check up yesterday. The results are in,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, she is still 90% for height,, 95% for weight,,,,, and very healthy. She does have a runny nose that has lasted for 4 weeks,,, so I am going to try allergy medicine. The doctor said that's probably it since it's not changing to green snot and she doesn't have any other symptoms. Last night her nose got really bad. It was so stuffy. So we will see. I am going to start a veggie tonight. I can't wait to post those messy pictures. HOW fun this is getting!!!!! OH,, she won't suck the water out of her sippy cup. She just chews and chews on it. She will learn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Easter!!!

I know I'm a bit behind, but better later than never. This was not Easter Sunday. I was just playing around with her bunny ears and took a few pictures. Then, on Sunday, I forgot to take one of her in her cute little dress. OOPS... Next year!!!

Bluebonnet Surprise!!!!

Can you believe this????? Myra over did it! She took Grace for a photo shoot in Bluebonnets (the state flower for those MI people). I just love it! Then she printed two pictures and put them in Texas frames. The one with Grace and Myra is going in her bedroom. HOW SWEET!!! I just can't thank Myra enough!!!!! Grace is my little Texan!!!

THANK YOU MYRA FOR MAKING MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Dress-Up!!

( I know,,, the same old background!! I just think white brings out all the pretty colors,, and of course her hair!)
Well,,,, this is why Grace rarely gets to wear a dress. She always lifts them up to chew on. Yes, it's cute,,,,, but NOT very lady like. Anyway,,, this is a short week for us. We have a 1/2 day on Thursday, and NO school on Friday. YIPPY !!!!! Another week down! We are starting to look for apartments in Boston. I can't believe we are moving. I need to start packing some things up. WOW,,, so much more to do and pack up with a baby. I can't get over how many bins I already have of clothes that are too small. My next daughter will have lots of clothes to choose from. Now I understand why people say to keep everything until you are finished having kids. It will sure help to be prepared for the next one. Unless it's a boy of course!!
