HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Wishing you all a Happy Valentines Day!

Rockin around the crib!

Grace woke up this morning and started her own Gracie language which I enjoy over the monitor.  I venture in to find her sitting up and just jabbering away.  This was the first time I've got her just sitting up in bed, hanging out, so of course the camera came out.  I threw all the toys in to keep her occupied while I went in search of the camera.  She has still has a sleepy face, but oh what an adorable face it is!  We are also on high alert for her fourth teeth to cut, she cut her right eye tooth and the left is seconds away.  Therefore everything is fair game for going in her mouth, and she has that rash around her mouth again (finally we realize why she gets it worse at different times, teeth cutting!).

MY NEW SWING!

Gracie has a swing and she loves it.  We bundled her up in her camo sweatsuit (in honor of her Uncle Chase who is a Marine) and got to pushing.  She loved it and giggled and squealed with delight.  Thor ran around the yard, but kept a close eye on her hear and there, to make sure his baby was ok!

Who needs toys!

Who needs toys when you have a ......... SPOON to play with.  I had read (yes 1st time mom, quit laughing at me) that if your child is fussy at feeding time then give them something to play with so they think mealtime is fun.  So, we gave her a spoon!  Who would have thought we'd laugh so hard watching her play with a darn spoon.  She would put it in her mouth in between bites, play a drum solo with it and then put in her mouth with no hands and just stare at us like, "what are yall looking at?"

Did someone say playtime???

Darci & John had a sweet boy, John Paul "J.P" a few weeks after we had Gracie.  They are in the same room together at daycare and play hard throughout the week.  They came over and gave Gracie a precious outfit (thanks!) and the kids decided there is always time to play.  The funniest moment was when J.P. decided he should really have Gracie's pacifier....NOW...and took it out of her mouth.  They traded back and forth and had a grand ole time!

WHEREVER OR BUST!

Oh how she loves the walker.  She gets in it and either chills and just plays with her toys or she is a wild woman!  She gets going in the walker and chases Thor, explores all over the place, and of course sees what she can get close enough to in order to grab it and put it in her mouth.  We gave her a few morsels to snack on the other day and I turned around and she was feeding them to Thor (oh the sign of things to come).
