Happy six month birthday to our favorite little girl!  We cannot believe how quickly the past six months has flown by.  We seriously fall more in love with her each day and are amazed at how she always seems to be learning something new.



We started the day off with her six-month doctor's visit and are happy to report our growing girl is 17 lbs, 2 oz and 26.5" long...with a 42.5 cm noggin.  Everything looks good and we were given the okay to start solid foods, so we plan to try out some brown rice cereal once we return from our trip back to NY.  We've snuck in some banana, applesauce and avocado over the past few weeks, which seemed to go over well, so we think Greta will be excited to try some new foods and hopefully she'll one day consider eating fun foods a hobby, just like her mom :)

Almost six months old...

Welcome to Greta Jeanne's blog!  We are way behind.  We originally hoped to start this venture way back when she was first born, but we've been pretty busy since then :)  So, we figured today was as good a day as any to get started.

This week is actually a big one for our family.  Greta will be six months old tomorrow!  We can't believe how fast this time has flown by and how amazing our little girl has become.  We are loving every minute and are really looking forward to all of the new things she'll be taking on over the next six months.

Yesterday, we went and celebrated our first Maine Maple Sunday.  We drove up to the Gorham/Windham area with our good friend Lauren to visit some maple farms and sample some local maple goodness.

 Being that Mainers love their maple syrup, we may have gotten a bit of a late start to really get in on all the action.  Every farm we drove to was packed.  We finally decided to stop at Jo's and wait on the long, winding line for homemade pancakes, sausage and maple syrup.

The day was sunny and clear, but windy and a little chilly, so after waiting for some time outside, we quickly ate our pancakes at a picnic table and headed back to the car.  All in all, it was a fun day and we'll probably plan a little better next year and start out earlier.  Thanks for joining us, Lauren!





The beginning of this week will just consist of getting ready for our big trip back to NY on Wednesday.  We are excited to see everyone and already have a jam-packed schedule for our short time there.  Hopefully we can head out earlier than anticipated Wednesday afternoon and get in before it's too late.  Plans include wine-tasting, dinner at Mangoes, Dan & Allison's engagement party and Easter!  We know it's going to fly by.  Can't wait to see you all!  We'll have more to share when we get back home next week and hopefully some great photos to post.
