Christmas in January?!?!

Yep, that's right. We had Christmas the 2nd weekend in January at my grandparents in Williamston. Nanny fell and broke her hip the Saturday before Christmas and was in the Hospital until January 6th. We're so glad that she seems to be healing well and that she's home! I know she is too! Here are a few pictures from the day we spent there.

The Little Gym

Grace started a class last Wednesday at The Little Gym. She's in the *bugs* class and it is an hour long program, once a week, for 20 weeks. We did lots of singing, clapping, playing, stretching, log rolls, etc. At the end of class she experienced bubbles for the first time. In the beginning she was a little taken back by them...


They were the most sticky bubbles I'd ever seen! :)

But once she got use to them, she LOVED them. She kept trying to catch them.

A few faces of Grace...

Camera Phone Pictures

I'm not always good about having my camera with me at all times, but majority of the time, my phone is with me, so I've put the camera phone to fairly good use. Sorry about the quality of the images, but sometimes miss sparkly pants is just *overly* cute at the moment and I want to snap a picture of her!

Time with Daddy

I have some random pictures that are sitting on my computer that I thought I'd post. Here's a few from one night Grace was snuggling with Scott before bedtime!

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.
