Six Months!

*This post was written on 2/22, but between a cold, first ear infection, and a night shift, picture taking was a bit delayed.

It's hard to believe that six months ago today, I was being prepped at the hospital, anticipating the arrival of our sweet baby girl.  We expected to wait ALL day.  However, Griffin Helen entered the world at 2:56 in the afternoon, changing our lives forever. 

 

Never in my life could I have ever imagined how being a mom would make me feel.  My heart is full and my love flows deeper than words could ever express.  This is what I was put on this earth to do - to be a mother.

 

6 month stats:

 

1.  Griffin has perfected rolling over.

2.  Griffin is sitting well in the Bumbo and perfecting sitting on her own.

3.  She loves to play.  When I place her on the mat at daycare, she immediately reaches for all the colorful toys.

4.  She really enjoys daycare, her teachers, and watching all the other kids.

5.  Her newest noise is babababa, so we've been spending a lot of time talking about all the animals (including the babas) we will see when we visit Grandaddy Tom and Nini's farm in April.

6.  Griffin loves to hear us sing (even if we are a little out of tune).

7.  Griffin sleeps well, but typically never past 6:30am.  She's a morning person like me, not her daddy.

8.  We've introduced solids into her diet - rice cereal, bananas, carrots, peas, spinach, apples, butter nut squash, and sweet potatoes.

9.  Griffin loves to laugh.

10.  She weighs 14 pounds, 14 ounces and is 26 inches long.

Happy 6 months, sweet girl!
