Sippy Cup

We're beginning to explore new things around here, and we embarked on the *sippy cup*. Grace wasn't quite sure what to think about it. She hasn't been a fan of water / diluted juice anyway, but maybe once she masters the sippy cup that will change. Grace hasn't figured out how to tip it up just yet, but practice makes perfect! Here are a few images on the first night I gave her the cup.

All Bundled Up

They're calling for snow or some wintery-mix around here for this weekend, but we're already a pro a bundling up. Here's my sparkly pants in her little hat, keeping those little ears warm!

G is for Grace

Just a few random pictures of Grace hanging out the other morning. She was sitting on the couch just babbling to me. She loves to clap / patty-cake now, its so cute to watch!

A New Baby Friend...

Just thought we'd give a shout-out to the Hollis family. This afternoon William, Krystle, and Karli welcomed baby *GIRL* Hollis into the world! We can't wait to meet her and for Grace to have a new playmate! Congrats you guys! We love ya!

Santa

Tonight, Scott and I took Grace to the Triangle Town Center Mall to visit their Santa there. Although he wasn't a very pretty Santa, she didn't seem to have a problem with him and was happy as a clam sitting in his lap. Here's the picture that we purchased while we were there:

Grace's Christening

The Sunday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 29th, Grace was baptisted. My Great-Uncle Frank, took off from preaching at his church to come and perform the ceremony in our church. It was a wonderful 5 minute ceremony. We were so thankful for friends and family that stood up with us in support of Grace as well as our church family that welcomed her with open arms! Here's a few pictures from church...

7 months

On Tuesday, the 8th, Grace turned 7 months old. I know I say it everytime, but time is FLYING by. Our baby girl smiles all the time and each time is no different, because it warms our heart everytime. She's now sitting up like a champ, reaches for everything, and we've even gotten a few da-da's out of her. Her new thing is that she loves to give kisses. Sometimes you can even ask her for kisses and she delivers! :) She's still been dealing with her first ear infection for about a week now, so we've had our ups-and-down days lately, but all in all she' hasn't been to terribly fussy.


Look at my little sparkly-pants. I could just eat her up! :)
