6 months old!

People always warned me : "enjoy every little second with your newborn baby because before you know it they will be 6 months old!!"
Well, Gracie is now 6 months old and we just love her to pieces.  She gets more and more fun everyday. it is definitely going by super fast, but I am enjoying every minute.
*Gracie had her 6 month check up yesterday and here's her stats:

-she weighs 17.8 lbs!
-is 27 inches long
- her head is 17" around
-she got 3 shots and was a champ about it. Cried for 10 minutes and the rest of the day she was an angel!
- is in size 3 diapers
-wears 3-6 mo. tops and 6-9 mo. bottoms
-goes to sleep at 7:30pm, sleeps till 7:30am.
-loves to blow bubbles still
-she has the biggest smile and will smile at anyone
-still doesn't want to roll over
-just started sitting up 2 weeks ago!!
-loves her puppy
-knows who mommy and daddy are
-she responds to her name
-she LOVES baby food
-she loves all dogs. she just laughs and giggles at them. it's so funny!
-loves bath time
- she really only cries when she's tired or hungry
-I stopped swaddling her about 3 weeks ago and she's done great :)
-she is the light of my life!

She really is. I can't even describe the love I have for her. I can't imagine life without her really! must've been really lame and boring lol!
Every day I wake up, and I can't WAIT to go get her out of her crib. She always has the biggest smile on her face when she wakes up and gets so excited to see me. melts my little heart!
I really enjoy spending my days with her. it's fun to watch her explore and discover new things. most days I just stare at her in awe wondering how I got so lucky to have her. She is everything I could've imagined...but more. She sleeps through the night, she smiles at me, she laughs at anything, she could sit or lay down and play with toys for hours and be content, and she just has such a sweet spirit about her.

She definitely has the key to my heart that's for sure. I love her so so much and count my blessings every day that I got so incredibly lucky to be her mom.  Trying to grasp the concept of being Gracie's 'mom' makes me speechless.  It's such a bittersweet thing watching Gracie grow up. She has a sweet spirit, and I can't wait to see what she's like when she's older.

Of course I am bawling typing this. I guess I just want Gracie to know how much I love her. She doesn't understand that now, so that is why I blog about it, so that she can read this later on :) Gracie goo- you are our miracle!! we love you!!!

Well my phone broke, and our computer is being ridiculous so I can't get any pics of her from the lat month....
but Aunt Aubs took her 6 month photos and i love how they turned out. so here's some of my faves:





Her eyes are so gorgeous. so is her heart. LOVE YOU BABY GIRL!!!

Love,
Mom
