Here are some pics that were taken lately by a family friend, Chris Dewalt. He did a really good job, especially considering that he didn't have any background or lighting stuff. http://www.dewaltphoto.com/index.html
Gracie has been doing this really weird smile. She will squint her eyes and smoosh up her checks and give a huge grin. It is hilarious!! She looks like she is going to get into soooooo much trouble!
Gracie really does not like to wear shoes. Yesterday, we decided to have her wear some cute tennis shoes I got her. I put her in her carrier and was getting my things together to leave. When I walked back over to get her, this is what I saw. She had already used the end of the carrier to push her shoes off. She thought it was funny. Smart girl.
Gracie has gotten really good at sitting up. She loves playing with her little bucket of Fisher Price shapes. I love watching her facial expressions when she plays (like in the last picture). You can totally see her thought process on her face.
We went to the doctor today for her 6 month check-up. Gracie was only in the 90th percentile this time for height and weight. I guess she's slowing down a little. Hehe. She weighed 18 pounds and was 27 1/4 inches long.
Here is a pic of Gracie right before we took a stroll around the neighborhood. I love the top picture...she looks like she knows a secret. I love the hat, too.
