Growing so Fast!

This weekend we had Grace's 6 month photos taken. She is just starting to be able to sit up on her own. She can last about 30-60 seconds before she falls foward, back or side to side, but she is getting it more and more. It is pretty amazing to see her sitting up. She is getting such a personality and is so much fun right now. I told Brian this weekend that I love this age. She is discovering everything and is becoming more vocal about what she wants and is just changing so fast that it is fun to see. As soon as I have the link to the 6 month photos I will post it. There are some pretty cute ones.

We started to try green beans this week, but Grace isn't really into them. The faces she makes are priceless and quite funny. I tried the green beans for two days and she is not having them. So we know she likes the cereal and carrots so far. We will have to try something else new now that we know green beans are out for now. We are also discovering that eating in front of her or going out to eat is getting harder as now she wants the food we are eating. She LOVES cereal time. Now if we could just get her to take formula at home. Thankfully she will finally drink it at daycare since my milk supply is not able to keep up with her while I am at work, but we can't seem to get her to take it at home yet. Hopefully she will soon.

Today is Grace's 5th surgery in her short little life. Dr. Oliver will be going in to look around and see if the retina is still attached and check on some other things. We are hoping it is just a look and see, but if he does find a new problem he will fix it today. Think of Grace this afternoon as we wait to hear how she does. Pending how this surgery goes we will next be looking into getting her glasses. Looks like Dr. Braverman (her normal eye doctor and the one we will see more often after the retina issues are fixed that Dr. Oliver specializes in) has decided that glasses will be a better option than a contact. Which in the full scheme of things it will be easier for us parents not to have to figure out how to get that contact in and out. Everyone assures me she will look super cute with her glasses, but I all the same felt a little sad that she needs them and brought back my mommy guilt that she has to go through this all. I would gladly take her eye problem from her anyday, but alas we were given this challenge and will face it and she will of course be the cutest baby ever with glasses.

I will post an update on how surgery went either later tonight or tomorrow depending on how late we are at the hospital. Have a great week!
