Five Months Old!





Another month has flown by. In addition to being baptized, Greta has also learned to roll over consistently from her back to her stomach, but only rolling left (blue steel style). She has also found her right foot. 

Her first swing. No reaction at all.

I never thought I would put her in a pink outfit with a headband, but she seems to like it

Enjoying a long walk on a cool evening

This month also marked mommy's return to work and daddy's start of his MBA program. Life is a constant adjustment. Good thing Greta is so easy going. She loves her nanny and playing with her friend Eli.

Eli (the nanny's son) and Greta. Not a great shot, but I'm sure there will be more in the future. They are going to be best buds.

Likes:
- Staring at her mobile
- Sophie the Giraffe and chewing on her bead necklace
- Walks
- Patty Cake

Dislikes:
- Sunset = crabby time
- Being on her stomach for too long

Baptism


Greta getting ready to be baptized wearing great-great-great grandpa Dodie's bonnet

We went to St. Louis a few weekends ago to have Greta baptized in the same church as her father, grandmother, and countless other family members. Nonny, Boompa, Aunt Darcy, Uncle Anthony, and cousin Easton came as well. Anthony is Greta's Godfather, and Aunt Katie is her Godmother. She is so blessed! Decon Dave did a wonderful job, not missing a beat as Greta cried through half of it. 

Parents and Godparents
Holy Bath
Proud parents, grandparents, and great grandma
We also found time to check out the Missouri wine country. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time.

Greta loved sitting on the wine barrel
It was a very special and wonderful trip. Greta is so lucky to be part of such wonderful families!
