5 months

Grace is 5 months today. We love her so much! She has grown up faster than we have expected. She has such a cute little personality.

Today she got her first tooth and there is another one coming up right next to it.

There are a few things that she loves:
She loves to be on her tummy. I will set her down and immediately she will be on her stomach.
She is a mover. I can put her in one corner of a room and in a few minutes she will be in the opposite corner.
She is very independent and likes to feed herself.
She loves to put her "grabby" blanket with ribbons over her face.
She loves the TV. We have to limit it. (Just kidding)
She loves to talk and babble.
She loves to laugh at her daddy. He is so silly.
She loves anything green. She just goes right to it.

TEETH!

Grace cut a tooth today. 5 months to the day she was born. She now likes to bite things. Including me.

We couldn't have made it these past few days without this little contraption. She LOVES this teething pacifier.

Solids

Grace is now eating solids. Kind of. I think she is still on the fence if she likes them or not.

A few random stories about Grace....

Grace likes to feed herself. She especially likes be snuggled up in comfy blankets while doing so. The other day I put her down with her blanket right next to her. I came back seconds later and this is how I found her. She loves to hide I guess. Funny girl.

Grace is getting her teeth. Daddy decided it would be a good idea to ease the pain with a fudgcicle. She loved it!

Sometimes feet are more for holding your bottle than for walking.

I was at the store the other day and the man behind us in line told me what a cute little fellow I had and asked how old HE was. Did he not notice the flowered shorts or the pink blanket and girly toys? That will be the last time I dress her in blue!

The other day I was putting together Grace's jumper toy. She was playing on her mat and decided she was missing out. She slowly rolled over to where I was working and decided to help out. So cute. I think she really likes anything green.

Safety First?

So this is why you use the straps...

I put Grace in her swing to go do some work in the kitchen and I came over to check on her and this is what I found! She fell out of the swing and was pushing it back and forth!

Then she tried to roll over and got stuck.

Grace's Friends

Grace loves to visit her little friends. She loves the attention. Its a good thing because they get to spend a lot of time together. Bailey and Jane's mom is one of my very good friends and we are Young Womens camp directors together plus we always are doing something fun. We are so grateful to have such fun friends. The other day Bailey was invited over to a friends house to play but she was very hesitant because she knew Grace was coming over. (How adorable is that?!) She didn't want to miss out on the fun. Luckily, her mom reassured her that Grace will definitely be over again and probably soon!

Grace looks sad in this photo but she just had to get a little crying out. She was fine 30 seconds later.

A hard day at the park

We had a ward activity at the park. Grace partied so hard she just passed out.

New Camera!

Will surprised me with my dream camera for our anniversary. I've had so much fun taking pics of this little cutie!

Grace likes getting in on the fun too. She likes to grab the camera when I take her picture. I love that face!

My house has been completely neglected because I just can't get enough of her! Notice the background mess.
