This month you had your "six month" photos taken. You are such a pretty baby and you were so good during your pictures. We did them at 10am - thinking you would have gotten your morning nap in and eaten and you would be good to go. However, half way through you got very very tired . Understandable since you normally take a morning nap around 8:45am to 9:30am and then typically want another nap after your lunch. Brandis was patient and you took a 20 minute nap - and then woke up ready to finish your pictures with an Easter dress on.
We went to Black River Falls for Easter and you met the Easter bunny as well as Mollie Caldwell. You loved being in your front carrier and really checked everything out. Your picture with the Easter bunny went well and Grandpa Wiersma snuggle with you afterwards as you started to get tired. While we were in BRF, Mommy and Daddy went out with Uncle Lance and had a great time and you struggled to sleep. While you still are a great sleeper, every once in awhile you fuss here and there as you fall asleep. As you become more and more aware of everything, you want less and less to fall asleep. We won't complain though as you still sleep from 7:30pm to 6:30am each night. You are such a good girl.
From an eating perspective, you still wake up and eat at 6:30am with Mom and then you have three bottles at daycare every 3 hours. You eat once, sometimes twice, more with Mom and then you go to bed. You also eat lunch at daycare (a vegetable) and then dinner at 5pm (fruit). We just finished all the fruits and you love all of them. Mommy gets you naked to feed you prunes, since you tend to make a mess and prunes are so dark and hard to get out of fabric. Daycare tells us you are a good eater and really like everything. We haven't met a food you don't like yet. Mommy even gave you a lick of ice cream (which you LOVED) and some cantalope.
At your six month appointment (on Mommy's birthday) you were actually 6 1/2 months old and weighed 15lbs 2 ounces and were 26inches long. You really are a peanut since Mommy and Daddy moved you to size 3 diapers since we thought you were bigger! Just a little girl with a big head! Speaking of Mommy's birthday - we went to Erte with the Krogman family. There was music (a small band) and you loved listening to it and really enjoyed dancing with Grandpa. You were well behaved and loved the noise - but when we got to the car you were angry. It was past your bedtime, you were hungry, and you didn't know how to tune it out. Grandma gave you a bottle and you fell asleep quickly.
You are starting to sit up now. You aren't very good at it (I blame your head) but you are getting better and better each day. It's so fun to see you progress. Such a big girl! You are also standing up well when we put you next to your toys. You are so much more aware of everything and love anything that Mommy and Daddy have. You often grab at the remote and our iPhones. You don't want your toys - you want ours. You are also getting a tooth! We can see the white buds on both sides - but they haven't emerged yet. It's amazing, you've teethed so well. You have not been fussy, haven't been complaining about them coming in, and haven't woken up in the night out of pain/transitioning.
We can't believe how much we love you Grace. Dad travels for work and can't wait to see you when you come home. You are so lucky; you have so many people that love you. Aunt Sara always brings you something when she sees you; Uncle Lance drops off gifts often; and Uncle Royce always wants to do "facetime" to see you. You are a good little "Skyper"....you see everyone every week.
