Six months with Greta

I can't believe that Greta is already six months.  And yet I can't imagine there was a time in my life without her.  She has changed my life so much.  She is living proof that prayers are answered.  She is pure joy in a tiny, chubby body.  I seriously tear up daily with joy that she is mine!  She changed my life a year ago when I found out I was pregnant.  It wasn't an easy pregnancy, and moving with a new baby wasn't the easiest, but the day I discovered she was coming into our lives was an incredible day, and nothing short of miraculous.  Sometimes I still can't believe that she is here. 

At six months we have started rice cereal.  On the first attempt she really didn't know what to think of it, but she very quickly got the hang of it, and really seems to like it.  I love feeding her because she just smiles at me the whole time. 

She has started cooing, and yes, screeching.  My kids have all screeched.  It starts as a happy screech, but then it changes as they get older, to a death scream.  Here's hoping that we can avoid that, but if history has taught be anything I won't hold my breath. She still loves playing with her toes.  She has started rolling over from front to back, and she loves grabbing at things, especially my hair or my jewelry.

Here are her six month stats:

weight: 17 lbs

length: 27 3/4 inches

Head: 42 cm circumference

She is a smiley, happy, beautiful baby.  That is why I went a little crazy on her six month pictures.  She just kept, smiling and being adorable.  I would change her, change set ups, and expect her to let me know she was done, but she just kept smiling.

I am very happy with how her pictures turned out, and I am so excited to share them.  Feel free to gush about how ridiculously cute she is, I can take it.
