Grace's first Halloween!

What a cute crab she made!

This picture cracks me up. It's like she knows she needs to smile for the camera:

We went to our church's Halloween party Saturday night. She was such a happy girl (as usual.) She loves being around people and had a great time looking at all the other kids in their costumes.
We had borrowed the crab costume from Grace's cousins so we decided to try to match the ocean theme and go as pirates with a pet crab. We even had our little treasure chest with the candy we were passing out. We got all kinds of compliments on what a cute little crab we had!

Weekend of firsts

First bath without the baby tub:

First solids! She looked so happy before we began...

But this is what she really thought of it all:

She's slowly getting better at swallowing instead of gagging.

First trip to the pumpkin patch! Tractor ride:

Out with the pumpkins:

Our cute little lamb:

She's been sitting up now for over a week.

Update, finally!

Okay, so we're finally set up with a working computer, yay! This update is WAY overdue, sorry!


Grace has hit some milestones lately, first, sitting up without support! (just realized I don't actually have any pictures of this, bummer!)


And, a tooth! It seems so early, but here it is:


And today it seems as though the one next to it is ready to pop through any day. No wonder she's been sleeping so terribly at night, as well as being the queen of drool lately.

She LOVES her exersaucer:


And tummy time!

And she's generally just a smiley girl!

She's also just started to want to chew on everything, and is learning how to grab things with her hands in order to pull them to her mouth, especially the toys on her exersaucer, her shirts and our shoulders when we're holding her.

She brings us so much joy and laugher everyday!

Grace's favorite pasttime

Here's a cute video of Grace and her tongue skills :)

Sorry the picture isn't more clear. I tried a bunch of different ways to upload it and this is the only one that would work!

I'll be trying to get more photos up soon. I feel bad that we haven't been posting very much lately, we've been having some computer issues and may be getting a new computer here soon. But, we have lots of cute pictures we want to show you!
