Dear Gracie- I amazed that you are 6 months old today! Time is passing very quickly and I am trying to enjoy each moment. I am thankful that I get to be at home with you every day. You are learning and discovering new things all the time and it is amazing to watch the world unfold before your eyes. Life seems to get easier and richer every day. The first few months were challenging as we got to know each other. You have always been a pretty laid-back baby, but there were some tough moments. 3-1/2 months seemed to be the "magic" age where things really came together. Life got much easier at this point. Around this time, we made the decision to put you in your own room and let you cry yourself to sleep. This was not an easy decision, but it is one with a high pay-off. Listening to you cry yourself to sleep was one of the hardest things I have ever done. But, within a few days things got easier and by the end of the first week you were sleeping really well. You love your swing
