Grace is 6 Months Old!!

Grace turned 6 months old on April 17th. I cannot believe it has been half a year since she was born! At her 6 month check-up, she weighed 16 pounds and was 25.5 inches long. We haven't tried any cereal or solid foods yet, but hope to this next month! Grace hasn't been sitting up yet, she still just folds over if you try to sit her up. Her favorite thing to do right now is roll over from her back to her belly and then do the "airplane" pose for a while. :) She still doesn't roll much from belly to back as she is much more content just being on her belly and then just waits for someone to come pick her up. :) She is pushing her self up a bit more now though on her belly using her hands and arms. Her new thing this month is scooting around on her back. While laying on her back, she will dig her heals into the floor and lift her bottom up and propel herself forward, head first. She has gotten herself into quite a few interesting places doing this. :) Grace also joined us at the table this past month, as we "rotated" seats. :) Kyler got a new booster seat, Norah moved to Kyler's old seat, and Grace got Norah's old chair. It's just nice now and she feels "included" at the table even though she isn't eating anything yet. :) Grace still takes 2-3 naps a day depending on the day, and will eat every 2-3 hours, going longer at night. She drools quite a bit, but still doesn't have any teeth. Here are some pictures from the last month!
