Gracie is 6 Months!

Look at this big girl!  I can't believe it had been 6 months!!!  

Notice how Gracie's mouth is WIDE open in every picture? Isn't it the cutest!  She has this new thing where she has her mouth like that 90% of the day, I love it!  Gracie can pretty much sit by herself now, I still have to be nearby cause she is still pretty wobbly. She LOVES her veggies!  She eats squash, green beans, sweet potatoes,  and carrots.  We keep trying fruits, but not with much success!   

Gracie has turned into wiggle machine! Holding her can be a chore!  She is still very social and doesn't like to be left alone for even a minute!  She has started in on stranger danger and knows when Mom and Dad don't have her. 

Gracie can sleep through the night, but thinks its way more fun to wake up multiple times to see Mom and Dad!  We hope this stage passes quickly! Gracie still loves to put everything in her mouth and her favorite toys are still measuring spoons and cups!

Here are a few pictures from the last month.  I'm pretty sure we have the cutest baby ever!

Christmas fun

Christmas was with the Swalberg family this year.  Christmas started early because Kelsey and Parker came down from Washington!  They came and stayed a few days with us and we LOVED it!!  Although we didn't do much and barely left the house (darn winter!) I had a blast while they were here!   We played games, ate lots of food, went to our ward Christmas party to sit on Santa's lap, and went to the festival of lights.  

Poor Kins did NOT like Santa:( 

As part of our Christmas present my Mommy and Daddy took us to see Forgotten Carols, it was fabulous!  No kids were allowed so we left Gracie with our neighbors and I'll tell you what, I bawled!  That is the longest I have been away from Gracie and it was so hard for me to leave her!  It was nice getting to sit in the front seat with Kaleb and not talk baby talk for 3 hours though:) 

We all gathered in Tooele at Mom's and Dad's new house for Christmas eve and Christmas.  I love being all together, even if it can get hectic!  We played lots of games, ate lots of food and went to temple square to look at lights!  We had such a fun Christmas!  

Isn't my mom talented?? She made all of our flower headbands!

I'm not sure who took the picture of all of us on Temple square, but I don't have it!  I'll have to add it later!  

Gracie is 4 months…..and 5 months!!

I got so excited about blogging about all that we have been doing, I forgot to add Gracie's 4 month pictures and stats from November:)  

As you can see from the pictures she is getting hard to take pictures of!  She has turned into a wiggling, giggling, smiling, babbling little ball of fun!!  As cute as she is in these pictures, she wasn't so cute after her 4 months shots later that day:(  She was not a happy camper the rest of the night!  Gracie weighed 13.7 lbs (43%tile) and was 25.25 in long (84%tile).  

I feel like Gracie grew up so much from 4 to 5 months!  She is rolling, sitting up (with a little support) smiling ALL the time, eating veggies (not fruit!), and loves to go on walks! Since we didn't go to the doctors this month I don't have Gracie's stats, but I know she is getting bigger because of all the clothes I had to put away!
