Where did my baby go!?

In my last post I expressed how excited I was to watch Gracie grow and learn new things. I am still so excited for it all and I have loved her growing up so far and seeing all of the things she can do on her own now! However, I look at her and think 'where did my baby go!?' It seems like just yesterday I was snuggling this little newborn, and now she hardly snuggles with us! How has it already been 5 months?

The last few months have been so much fun for our little family! We had moved to Sandy 5 days before Gracie joined us and had a fun summer there, but we were constantly up in Bountiful to spend time with family.  So, we decided it was time for a house and we knew we wanted to be close to our families. In August, we moved in with my parents while our home is being built in North Salt Lake. It has been so much fun watching the progress each week, but we are so ready to be in it finally! We are expected be in around December this year.

A few things about our Gracie girl..

Started eating rice cereal at about 4 1/2 months
She is a super great eater, both nursing and cereal

Has blown out one too many times.... (sorry, I know its gross)

     She LOVES watching football with her daddy. She is just glued

      when its on and Jett loves that she will just sit with him while they watch

 Meeting baby Hayden for the first time

Here they are again. Hayden 1 month old. Grace 5 months old...

She obviously doesn't know we don't eat our friends..

A little bit destructive..

Just happy

She is laughing out loud all of the time and smiles at just about anything. 

Also loves to take showers with her daddy

Weighing a whopping 12 lbs at 5 months old (barely on the charts)

Learning to sit up, can't quite stay up on her own yet

Wants to put her mouth on EVERYTHING. Don't worry, we give her the good stuff!!

 Sleeping on average 12 hours a night plus 2 or 3 good naps during the day.. and obviously likes her face to be covered while she sleeps. I think I have more sleeping pictures than I do awake ones...

 The only way to get her to fall asleep in my arms is if I feed her when she is tired. Then I just hold her until my arm falls asleep or until she wakes up. Those are my favorite moments!

 She LOVES her swing! Loves to play with toys in it and puts her to sleep pretty quick as well

 Unfortunately she doesn't like to cuddle with us anymore, but at least she will put herself to sleep if we lay her down! She will still fall asleep anywhere which is so nice!

 She LOVES tummy time. Since about 2 months old if we lay her on her back she flips right over to her tummy and could stay there for hours! Also loves playing with her cousin Jeffers

She has been trying to crawl since about 4 months but just can't quite figure it out yet

 Gracie loves to go on walks in her stroller

 Thinks she is a big girl

Eats her toes any chance she gets!

I honestly have nothing to complain about with this baby of mine. In our eyes she is perfect in every single way! She hardly cries, is so happy, and is the best thing that has ever happened to us! We love our Gracie girl more than anything in the world!
