We finally got around to blessing her on December 9. Her cousin BrookLynn was baptized the same night, so it was a special day for our family! Gracie's Grandpa Leithead gave her a beautiful blessing!! She was fussy before and after, but during the blessing she quieted right down. Grandpa Rael said he peeked at her a couple times and she was staring intently at everyone in the circle. Whatever keeps her quiet :) And she quickly got fussy again afterwards. Especially for pictures. And me being a terrible mother, I didn't even get a picture with her by herself in her dress :( 
I can't believe how quickly time has gone these past few months. In a few weeks, Gracie will be 6 months old!!! I know I've said this many times lol, but she is at such a fun stage. She always doing something to make us laugh! She is such a happy girl (most of the time). Even though she won't giggle for us anymore :( But she always has a smile for us!! At 5 months she...
~rolls over front to back, and recently back to front.
~tries scooting across the floor.
~LOVES her rice cereal and vegetables (she is going to be a good eater. Anytime anyone eats in front of her she can't take her eyes off of them)
~stopped sleeping through the night (ever since she got sick, she gets up once or twice every night.)
~getting closer to sitting up.
~gets so excited when her cousins play with her, although Ava makes her a little nervous still :)
~likes to talk, especially if she's by herself.
~makes the best faces :)
