Grace is a big baby! On her 6 month doctor visit, our pediatrician told us she is as big as an 11 month old. She weighed 20 pounds and is 28.5 inches long! Grace is well on her way with eating solids. So far she likes peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, apples, pears, and bananas. I introduced prunes the other night and she was not to crazy about it...who is?? We also introduced a sippy cup. We're hoping she catches on so our daycare provider can use it to give her milk. Grace hates the bottle. Some days she drinks very little milk at daycare...then she makes up for it with me when we get home and through the night. On the days she doesn't do well at daycare with the bottle, she wakes up twice during the night to nurse. Pray for us that we figure out a good solution for her to drink enough milk while at daycare.
Tonight we decided to ditch the sippy cup's top and try having Grace drink straight from the cup. She did pretty well...I think we are going to try a cup with a straw...
It's been a crazy month! But Grace makes all the craziness from work seem not so bad. She is such a joy to Jonas and I. We are truly blessed.
