Happy Anniversary!!!
Four years ago, I married an amazing guy!
Today, we celebrated in a very special way, as a family, spending time in the sunshine at the Everett Marina, watching the boats, birds and babes (Graycen) and having an early dinner at Skuttlebutte Restaurant.

Olympics here we come!
I think we have a future swimmer! Graycen, Garrett (behind the camera) and I enjoyed one of the few hot summer days of Seattle by heading to the pool to cool off.

It's time...
It's time to start "letting go" of some of the infant things that Graycen has used. She's getting a little too big/long/strong for some of her baby things...
Thank you Greg and Jessica (and Ben) for letting Graycen borrow your Rock and Play Sleeper - she has slept, rocked and played countless hours in this thing :)
Her feet are beginning to dangle over the edge AND she uses the edge to push up with her feet.

5 Months Old!!!!
Can
I just say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this age/stage!!!! Garrett and I are having a blast watching her
change each day. It continues to amaze
me how much she changes from day to day.
We find ourselves saying, almost daily, “look at what she’s doing now…she
didn’t do that yesterday!”
Graycen
is now:
·
drooling
ALL the time – there is constantly a wet spot on our shoulders and drool
dripping down our arms J
·
gnawing
on EVERYTHING – including the dogs’ tails if they get too close J
·
giggling
and laughing
·
“talking”
non-stop (see video from previous post)
·
starting
solid food – rice cereal for now and loving it (see video from previous post)
·
although
she isn’t rolling over yet, she is making progress – arching her back, rolling
from side to side, etc.
·
has
found her feet/toes, which is making diaper changing quite challenging J
·
loves
to stand (supported, of course) and take steps

"Big Girl" Update #2:
Exhibit B: Eating "real" food.
I hadn't really planned on starting cereal with Graycen yet...I wanted to hold off for a few more weeks, but... One afternoon she wasn't really into nursing and so I decided to see if she would be interested in cereal. This became another example of how much she takes after her daddy - will eat anything! I didn't expect her to take food from the spoon right away, but clearly she is meant to eat like a "big girl."
Garrett also enjoyed a spoonful of cereal - he was curious about the taste/flavor - until I reminded him that I mixed it with breastmilk. I guess Graycen won't have to share her cereal with daddy just yet :)
