My how time flies!!



Daddy took Graycie in town today to get her 6 month old pictures. Now normally this is a "Mom" thing to do but I let myself get so worked up wanting everything to be just perfect and Brady has been off work all week so I asked him to. She's been smiling so much lately that I was hoping he could get some smiles out of her. When I took her at 3 months, I absolutely made a fool out of myself, drenched in sweat and only achieved 1/2 a smile. I taunted Brady telling him she wouldn't give up a smile for the camera. WELL...as you can see he won and I couldn't be any happier. Her pictures turned out so adorable and I give all the credit to Daddy. He bathed her, picked out her out-fits and even styled her hair. On the phone I suggested clips for her hair, but he didn't put them in, but that's alright cuz I can just photoshop some in if I wanna!! Love you Daddy & Graycie. You both did a fabulous job!!!
Graycie just finished her third week of swimming lessons. I say "lessons" very loosely because there hasn't been anything taught. The instructor sits on the edge of the pool and watches the parents play with the babies. Thank goodness Graycie has her own professional swim coach, her DADDY! He's the greatest and he does so well with her. She's not scared of the water anymore and is so, so close to being able to float. This will be so good for her to learn to swim because we live next to a large canal, have a huge swimming pool set up in the summer, and we love to go camping and fishing in the summer, which puts us near water all the time. I especially love this picture of her looking up at her Daddy. It truly is a conversation overheard, knowing that she's making sure her dad is still there. Her Daddy is the best and I know if she could have been able to stand this winter he would have had her on skis too!!! We love our Daddy!!
This is the greatest invention since disposable diapers. It's called a bumbo and allows babies to sit up on their own. Its soft like foam and light weight. Her very, very, very most favorite thing is to sit in front of our closet door which is mirrored and play with her reflection. She'll coo and play with the little baby in the mirror the entire time I'm getting ready in the morning. Well, as long as she has Momma in her sights.
