8 months

Ok, so I'm a little late with this post, six days late actually. Miss Grace turned 8 months old last Friday. I thought in addition to posting pictures of her I'd write 8 interesting facts about her too!

1* Grace isn't crawling with her knees under her, instead she can get wherever it is she wants to go by pulling/scooting herself with her arms and pushing with her feet. She's getting pretty quick I might add!

2* She's learned to blow kisses and make the Indian noise. We've come to the conclusion that she knows the difference b/c she makes a noise when doing the Indian thing, and no noise when blowing kisses. However she might get them mixed up every now and then! ;) She also loves to play peek-a-boo and patty cake!


3* She's been sick since my last post about her having an ear infection. First it was the ear and then it didn't want to go away. Then she had mucus in her lungs and more congestion. We went back to the peds on Wednesday and they sent us off with a good bill of health. ('bout time!) And Grace weighed 15 lbs 1 oz.

4* Her favorite word is Da-da. And she says it all the time!

5* Yesterday she waved bye-bye for the first time.

6* This morning she went from laying down to sitting up on her own. I'm not quite sure how it happened, but she did it- all by herself!


7* If she wants you to pick her up she lifts her arms for you. She'll even go from one person to another by putting her arms out.

8* And 99.9% of the time if she's not already smiling, and you smile at her, she'll smile back! We're very blessed to have such a happy daughter! She definitely makes my heart all warm and fuzzy!

And her "8 month" sign didn't stand a chance...


I love you miss priss!

Christmas Day (part III)

Our evening is spent at Gigi & Big Daddy's.


Sometime the boxes are more fun than the present itself...

Crewe loved his new boots. He was so funny walking around in them...


Uncle Capi & Aunt Brookie gave Grace this little car. She had so much fun riding in it. We can't wait until warmer weather when we can use it more!


By the time we finished opening presents and having a great time, it was time to go home and go to bed. Grace was very worn out bc she didn't get much of a nap during the day. Scott and I always exchange gifts that evening as well so we still had more opening to do!

It was a wonderful day. We're very thankful for the gifts we received and the time we got to spend with our families.

Christmas Day (part II)

Next we journey over to Annanna's house and enjoy Christmas with Mrs. Ann & Jason.


And then we head over to Scott's Nanny's for even more presents with even more people!

Christmas Day (part I)

Christmas Day is a very busy day for us. Seems like we're here, there, and everywhere, but we enjoy every minute with our families! Our day started out by getting up and getting to see what Santa had left while we were all sleeping! As you can tell in the previous post, Grace was a very good girl because she got lots of goodies! Then we loaded up in the car and headed down the road to Nonnie & Grandaddy's. We go there while we're still in our pj's :), have some breakfast, and open presents!

Santa Came...

Santa came to see Grace. She must have been a VERY good girl this year!


Just a few pictures of things around the Bulls Bay house...

Happy New Year

I know I'm not finished with Christmas posts, but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! We're at Bulls Bay celebrating with our wonderful friends and family.

We hope your 2010 is wonderful!

Much Love,
Scott, Meg & Grace

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we get a fairly early start and do brunch at my Mom & Dad's with my Earl Daddy (mom's Dad) and some of that side of the family.

After breakfast, Grace and I rode into town to run some errands and then over to my friends Bridget's house to exchange presents with her. Bridget is due in February, so we are very excited to welcome another new little friend into the world very soon!

After we left Bridget's we went home so Grace could nap and I could wrap the piles of presents that needed wrapping! Then it was off to Scott's grandmother's church for their annual Christmas Eve program. It always is a wonderful play and helps remind you of the real reason for Christmas after all of the hustle of present buying, etc that comes with the holidays. It definitely allows you to slow down and really get into the Christmas spirit. After the play we go to the Martin's and exchange presents and visit with them for a while, then it was home to snuggle down and wait for Santa to come!
