Today Grace is 6-months old. This is VERY hard for me to believe, even though I have spent nearly every moment of the last 6-months with her: feeding her, changing her, soothing her, playing with her, watching her grow.
When Grace was newborn, below at 8 days old, we gave her a binky and it seemed to take up her entire face!
Today, at 6 months old, the proportions are a bit more accurate:
Grace will go to the doctor for her 6-month check up next week, so I will be able to report all of her stats at that time. For now we keep working on sleeping at night - she is doing pretty well with 7 hour (approx) stretches before waking up, and not feeding until she reaches the 9 hour mark. We have introduced some more foods but Grace has been terribly constipated the last few days: often in pain and pushing really hard! So I started her on pears, which I've read can help, and found dried prunes at a health food store this morning. I will work on liquifying them and giving them to her to see if that helps...although I feel bad about making her eat prunes! She doesn't know that they are gross, right?
Grace enjoyed her photo shoot this morning because she was able to play with the sign and repeatedly try to eat it:
The best picture of the day, by far:
Six months into parenthood we remain so, so grateful for and in love with this healthy, funny, sweet, beautiful girl.
