June 23

For anyone that does not know, June 23rd was a very very sad day but also a special day.

On the morning of June 23rd, we lost my dad to cancer. He had lung cancer and was very successful in his treatments; however, they found brain tumors in April. On Wednesday, June 23rd my dad passed away...he did wait for everyone to come to the house and we were able to be with him during this very sad time. He will be missed more than you know!

June the 23rd was also a special day. It was the day that Trace was officially 6 months old. I am just so glad my dad got to spend time with him. It breaks my heart that he won't see his granddaughter...but I know he will be watching from above.

Trace has such a happy personality. He is always happy unless he is hungry or tired. He is starting to crawl...or scoot...it is pretty funny to watch. He has a bottom tooth coming it and you can actually see a little of it and feel it. He went to the doctor on Monday and he weighs 17 pounds and is 28 1/2 inches long. He is only in the fifty percentile for weight but the 90 percentile for height! He is a growing boy. He is mainly wearing 9 months or 12 months clothes. He sleeps so good too...from about 8:15 at night to about 7. And takes good naps. Yesterday he had a 3 hour nap! WHOO-HOO! He loves to laugh and if you make "pooting" noises on his arm or neck he goes nuts. He loves TV...oh no...but a little Baby Einstein makes it easier to get up and "nap" in the morning when it is my summer vacation!

It is time to baby proof the house because who knows when he will start scooting all over the place! :)
