5 months!

On Saturday little Gracie pie was 5 months old! I can hardly believe it, then she'll be six months then a year and where did my baby go? I was moaning about that to Justin and he just said to me, "She's not there  yet." He is a good voice of reason for me at times. =)

She just gets more and more fun. She is a very happy smiliy, baby and everyone keeps commenting on her blue blue eyes. I look at them then look at mine, then look at Justin's and they aren't like either of ours so I guess it's just a great mix.

She rolled over of her own movement the other day and was totally taken by surprise. Instead of rolling over she likes to scoot around in circles. One day she was moving so I decided to document it. So disclaimer I didn't pose her into any of these just took pictures as an innocent bystander.

Starting out. 

Almost to the other side. 

Made it. 

Coming back around.

This is how she was moving around so much. 

And back to the beginning! 

She is just growing and growing. It's fun to see her discover more around her. We've been struggling with sleeping lately which has been no fun. She'll wake up in the night and cry and cry but not be fully awake. Once she fully awakes she calms for a minute then realizes that she's awake and starts crying again. It's super fun. We've been trying to make a bedtime routine and let her sit it out for a few minutes if she's crying. It's worked better. We still have some rough nights but she is napping better in the daytime. =) 

She's getting better at sitting up on her own and can go for quite a while before wobbling to a side. 

She is getting more hair and it's getting longer. This picture cracks me up because her hair looks like a toddler trying to do their own hair all crazy. Cute.

This is her favorite toy when dad takes care of her. the wipes box. But hey it makes a cool noise when you hit it, it has tasty corners. It's got al the right moves. =) 

She got this super cute school girl dress from a Messenger relative sorry not sure who. It was really cute and fun to see her in it. Justin doesn't normally get all excited about her clothes but he loved this one. 

There she is our little baby girl, Gracie pie, stinker, and silly goose. We love her so much and love her slobbery kisses. She can always make me smile. 

A little bit of Grace

Our little miss is almost 3 months! I can't believe it. She is growing so much everyday and is so SO fun to play with. She is holding her head up amazingly well, she is wanting to sit up so bad. Everytime we have her in her chair that leans back she does a cruch to get herself to sitting. Such a strong kiddo.

She is starting to giggle. When she's in a good mood I can get her to do a couple of giggles, still super smiley and fun. She's starting to sleep better too, now that we've transisitoned her to her crib. Justin is just a noisy sleeper and I think he was waking her up a lot. =). Last night she fell asleep at 9:15, woke up a little at 5:00, ate then fell right back asleep till after 8! It was Sunday so I had to get her awake and ready for church. I was amazed and so happy. Granted I did wake up at 3 cause it's a habit and checked on her but still. Awesome! 

 

Looking more like a Messenger everyday!

Almost almost rolling over. She gets herself all high centered on her tummy and rocks back and forth till she gets mad. It's only a matter of days before she'll be moving around. AH! She loves to look at the ceiling fan in our bedroom so when I need to get ready I put her on the bed and let her look at it. Once she's mobile I can't do that anymore.

She hates to have her arms wrapped up in a blanket or contained really. So one day as I was getting her ready for bed I pulled her arms out of the sleeves and kept them in the shirt. Then obviously made it better by tying the sleeves. =) She didn't notice for a while then she started to get mad. I quickly took her out but it made me laugh. Yep, I'm an awesome mom. =) 

Justin made her a fun little play mobile thing and she loves to look at her toys in it. I love the look of concentration she has in this picture. She is also loving looking at books. She get so excited looking at the pages and will just stare at them. I love it! I love books. 

Getting some cousin love. 

This pictures cracks me up. I often caption Grace's nosies or facial expressions and this one has so many possibilities.

She is doing so great, weighing in at 11lbs, 9 oz at her Dr. visit and moving up to size 2 diapers. I am getting tired of all the poop laundry I've had to deal with lately. People are always remarking at how alert she is, other people also say how little she is. She doesn't seem so little to me but compared to the giant baby on their arm she is little. She is just the best baby and I tell her that everyday. She is just a joy and light in our life. I love her lots and lots. I worry about her at work that she won't remember me sometimes but then I come home and she smiles big for me and so far I get the most giggles out of her so that makes up for it. She also " talks" to most to me making lots of adorable baby nosies. 

We sure love our little miss!
