GReg + trACEy = GRACE

Wow, the time is flying by! I can't believe my sweet girl is already 6 months old (and on St. Patrick's Day too!). Everyday she just gets bigger and bigger! I feel like I'm holding a sack of potatoes! But when I compare her to her brothers, she looks so small. Here's Gracie's updates for this month:

• I'm guessing she's probably around 15-16 lbs. We were at the doctor about 2 weeks ago, and they weighed her at about 14 lbs 14 oz.
  
• She's in 6-9 month clothing. Some things she can wear 12 months.
  
• She's gained great control of her hands and arms now. She loves trying to reach for stuff if it's within her reach. She especially likes to try to reach for things on the dinner table.
• Her hair is longer on the top. It's kind of funny looking.
  
• Her brothers still continue to dote on her. On our car drive home from Gulfport, David fed her for me twice so I wouldn't have to stop. He didn't even complain! He loves her a lot.
• She takes 4-5 bottles a day. Most are 8 oz bottles. She eats banana and apple baby food with rice cereal mixed in. I really need to try some new fruit and vegetables.
  
• She's turning into quite the little flirt. If people start talking to her, she just smiles so big at them. She loves to show off her cute dimples. She got a lot of attention at her daddy's work today. She got held by lots of people, and she didn't mind one bit. She was actually trying to chew on their badges.
• I put her on her tummy the other day, and she was scooting a little bit! I think crawling is coming up soon.
• She got to swing for the first time down in Mississippi. We took the kids to a really nice playground right across the street from the beach. She loved swinging and smiled so big.
