Christmas Morning

Gracie had her first Christmas and seemed to enjoy it, despite the fact that she was having some serious teething pain. Her big gift from Santa was a Fisher-Price kitchen. (Santa apparently found that same kitchen on sale yesterday at Wal-Mart for $30 less than he originally paid for it. He is really hating the fact that he can't find his receipt!) Anyway, Gracie was actually more interested in the toys than in the wrapping paper, although she was particularly fascinated with the bows and ribbons on the presents.

We feel so blessed to have such a happy healthy, little girl and that the Lord provided money for Christmas presents during these tough financial times! :-)

Peek A Boo

Gracie was playing on the floor with her blanket and decided to play a game of Peek-A-Boo with us. She really got a kick out of it.

Ho, Ho, Ho

Gracie had her nine-month check up last week. She weighs 19 lbs 5 oz (which is off the charts) and is 29 inches long (which is 90th percentile). Everything else looks good. She is still not crawling yet, but she is rolling all over the place. We are so thankful that God has given us such a happy healthy baby.

I couldn't resist putting my Santa hat on Gracie and getting a few shots...

Random Pics

Here are some random pics from the past month (including Thanksgiving). Gracie has been teething and there were very few days when she was feeling good or didn't have a nasty drool rash. Praise the Lord, though, her 2 bottom teeth have just poked through! My sweet little baby is growing up!

Feedin' Time

Wow, I didn't realize that it has been a month since my last post. Everything has been so hectic with the holidays and everyone being sick. I'll try to make up for the previous lack of posting.

So, I let Gracie feed herself a couple of weeks ago. It was messy, but she actually did a pretty good job. Eventually she abandoned the spoon and just started licking the food out of the container. She seemed to enjoy it, though.

Barrel of Laughs

Gracie has starting doing this really weird laugh...I don't know what else to say about this one.

Trick or Treat!

Gracie was a little Indian this Halloween. We said she was Pocahontas (ok, a white, bald Pocahontas). Anyway, she did really well with the costume, even the headband. I love the little feather sticking up. She loved chewing on the tassels. We first visited her cousins and had to get a group photo with Batman, Tinkerbell, and the UGA cheerleader.
