{Gracie - 10 Months}

Miss Grace is 10 months old!

Gracie is getting cuter by the day and is still so pleasant. She loves to eat and just over the past 4 weeks is completely weaned. She is a formula girl - Similac Soy to be exact. She loves PASTA. Mac & Cheese, Spaghetti, Pasta Salad, you name it, she loves it!

She still loves her siblings and cracks up at them constantly. She is still smitten with her daddy and will choose him over anyone. She is getting much better with going to her aunts and uncles but still loves her grandma's and grandpa's the most of any of the extended families.

Gracie is STILL not crawling but can get what she wants by a weird army crawl. She can sit up from laying and is often found in the morning standing in her crib.

She loves to play peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake. She loves to clap and blow kisses and she will even bark. I'm pretty sure she says kitty. I know she says, Hi, Bye, dada, mama, and shouts Baby when she sees her favorite baby. She is also loving her blankie these days. It is a hot one though so I'm hoping to get her to love a different one soon so she can have it year round.

Happy 10 months Gracelynn!

I am really loving this girl lately.....

{Gavin - 1st day of 4 year old Preschool}

Today was Gavin's first day of FOUR year old Preschool! He was super excited to go and was great walking into his classroom. After I picked him up I asked how school was, "good", and how his teacher was (Mrs. Hawes), "She was good, REALLY good", and did you meet any new friends? "no, I was too nervous". LOVE THIS KID! :) 

{Gracie - 8 months}

Today this baby is 8 months old!

She has been obsessed with her cousins dolls for a while now so I finally got her one. She LOVES her new baby! It is so fun to see her interact with this doll. She gives her kisses and hugs and claps her hands. It is adorable.
Gracie has 2 teeth, claps, waves, says da-da, bye bye, smacks her lips to kiss, laughs really hard at her siblings AND she is head over heels for her daddy. He is by miles #1 to her, even over me... sniff!
She isn't interested in crawling yet but she loves to stand and will stand for quite a while holding onto something on her own. Walking won't be coming any time soon though, she doesn't understand the foot movement yet.
She is STILL a great sleeper 8pm-6:30am and she LOVES her bed. She likes to rock for a few minutes but then she arches for her bed and wants in. She'll roll right over to her belly and not make a sound. I love this!

{Card Designs}

In general I do not design my own cards. My preferred vendor for card designs is Birdesign. You can purchase directly from Birdesign (click below) or I can purchase them for you. If you purchase directly from them you'll notice a slite discount on the product and I can still customize the template to your specifications. Chat with me more about this awesome offer!

{Alexa - First day of 1st Grade}

Yesterday was Miss Alexa's first day of school. She is my BIG first grader and is gone ALL DAY LONG. It is crazy that she is gone so long but I'm pretty sure I'm a bad mom. I was the only one around not in tears. It is so funny. I think that I'm just as excited as her. She is loving is so far. Her teacher Ms. Frostl is super cute and she has some great friends in her class!

{Gracie - 7 months}

Miss Gracie is 7 months old.
She is very fun and funny. She is great at mimicking sounds and sometimes words. She says Bye Bye a lot although I'm quite sure she doesn't know what it "means". She GROWLS on command and cracks everyone up with that. She just yesterday started to clap and says "CLAP" while she does it. She sure is fun!
