First Sleepover!

Gracyn had a very busy weekend! Saturday we had a baby shower to attend for Brittney and her baby boy due in April. Gracyn got him a blue seapony because she loves her own so much. She is such a little social butterfly, just like her mommy and daddy. She sat up and just took everything in. Everyone was amazed at how attentive she was. After the shower we headed down to Van Buren for her first sleepover with Baby Caroline.

We got to Katie's that afternoon and let the girl's interact a little. This usually involves Gracyn just lying there while Caroline explores what the little creature is beside her.




Later, after we dropped Caroline off with Katie's parents we took Gracyn to my mom's house. She was thrilled to stay a couple of hours with Nanny, Aunt JoJo, and Aunt KK. Katie and I went to Rolondo's for some grown up girl time. Gracyn must have had too much fun, because she was passed out when we got there to pick her up she slept through the night.


Sunday morning Caroline stayed home with her Daddy while we went to Cracker Barrel for some breakfast. When we got back we took some more pictures and some video of the girls. I can't wait til they are both a little older and can really interact with each other. Sadly, it will be here soon enough....they grow too fast! I know this will be the first sleepover of many to come!

Happy V-Day!!!!

Gracyn's daycare had a valentines party Friday. I signed up to bring goody bags for her class. Well, what do you put in goody bags for a class of babies? I decided to go with a couple chocolate hearts that I figured the parents would eat and some cute, heart shaped sunglasses. I had put Gracyn in a valentine outfit and thought that when I picked her up I would put her sunglasses on her and take some cute pictures. Well...when I got there to pick her up she had on a yucky, red sleeper with navy blue cuffs. According to Miss Amber she had a "major blowout." I had forgotten to bring an extra change of clothes so they put that on her. Poor kid...she looked like a homeless bum baby! In this picture she looks more like a thug.


Saturday, my mom came up. Kaeliegh wanted to bring Gracyn her Valentine gifts. She picked out a HUGE balloon with birds on it. She thought it was perfect since Gracyn had birds in her room. Here is Aunt KK and Gracyn.




We took Gracyn to get her 3 month old pictures taken. She was so good all day and took some really cute pictures. Here are a couple of the ones we got. I just took pictures of these with my camera so the quality isn't good. There are some naked baby pictures that are also really cute. I didn't get one that is Clint's favorite so I figure we will be ordering some more.

Roly Poly!

Today is a big day! Gracyn rolled over on her own! I am amazed at how strong she is getting and how much coordination she has. Dont get me wrong there is still a lot of boble heading going on... But we are getting stronger everyday! Crawling is right around the corner!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Today is my birthday! Woo Hoo! I'm starting to dread them though...28 is so close to 30! ICK! Gracyn did give me such a wonderful gift...a full nights sleep. I woke up at 3:30 this morning and realized she skipped her 1:30 feeding. I had a thought to wake her then was like, "no way! this is great!" I just hoped she would sleep another hour til my alarm went off at 4:40. She started stirring around about 4:30 so we got up and ate. I'm hoping she starts to make a habit of this!

HELLO BIG FOOT!
My Papa loved babies feet. They were always the first thing he would go for when holding a baby. He passed away about a year and half ago so never had the chance to meet Baby G...he would have loved her big feet!

Days with Daddy...

Clint stays home with Gracyn on Mondays and Tuesdays. It's always interesting to come home and hear about their day. Luckily, Clint gets most of it on camera. He has been doing tummy time with her. She actually rolled over on Monday! I'm pretty sure it was by accident though, but no more laying her on the couch or bed just in case! I love hearing her little grunts when she is on her tummy. Check out the video below. I like it that Clint is here Mondays and Tuesdays bc I dont have to get up as early to take her to daycare. After I feed her, Clint will change her and entertain her. I guees she was entertaining him here because he took about 15 pictures of her like this.

This picture is just too cute so I had to put it on here! It was so cold up here last week!

Post-Holiday Cheer

This year we decided to all get together after the holidays for some food, drinks, and games. We played White Elephant and had everyopne bring a gift from home. We had so much fun opening the most random gifts. The most sought after gift was some glass clowns from Eric. Talk about scary! Gracyn got the book, "Why do Men have Nipples." It actually is really interesting!




Gracyn and Caroline were passed around between all the girls and guys. I think they stole the show! Next year will be a blast watching the two interact more.

Gracyn is telling Sarah that she thinks Sarah needs to give her and Caroline another freind to play with!


Eric remembering how light Caroline use to be!





Katie had picked up Gracyn's new diaper bag from Keep It Gypsy and brought it up. I'm so excited to have a real diaper bag with big pockets, life will be so much easier! It is so cute and I can't wait to have another one made! I might be addicted!

Go Hogs!

Clint had to work tonight so it was up to Gracyn and I to cheer on the Hogs at home! We both sported Hog attire...Gracyn even added a little Hog flare to her outfit. She has a pig rattler that goes around her wrist so when she call the Hogs it makes noise. I don't really know what she thinks of it right now, but I'm sure she will grow to love it! We were getting a little nervous that we were going to lose this game...who would have thought it would come down to a field goal! Alex Tejada pulled through on this one! I'm sure this little girl is going to be an avid Hog fan just like her Mommy and Daddy!

Getting ready for the game to start.


She is NOT happy here...she is saying, "Come on guys, get it together!"
