Little Sailor Girl!

Grace got all dressed up today for a day out on the town! We had some unwelcomed pests (Ants) that were driven into the house since the Hannah storm last week. The exterminator came by today at noon and we had to vacate the house for 4 hours. So, we went to Barnes and Noble, Target, and of course, Hancock Fabrics. Then, we visited Daddy at work before going to dinner. Grace did a great job considering her morning and afternoon naps were interrupted! She's very sleepy tonight, but is still smiling and enjoying playing with Daddy.

What a big girl!

Just had to share this picture of Grace doing such a big girl thing...holding her bottle!

Twins for a Day!

Grace and Mommy were dressed alike for church today! In the close up pic you can see how we were both wearing outfits with pink/white gingham flowers and lime green accents!


After church we decided to play dress up and we both put on our heels! Aren't Grace's heels the cutest things EVER?!! They're called Heelarious! They came packaged in a clear box shaped like a purse.

Of course, Grace is more interested in eating her heels than in wearing them!

Laugh out loud!

I know we've already blogged once today, but we couldn't resist adding another entry. Tonight when we were doing Grace's bedtime routine, Greg started blowing on Grace's tummy and she laughed out loud! The video is really dark, but as long as the volume is turned up, you should be able to capture the essence of the cackles! It was so exciting! She kept on laughing for several minutes each time Greg would do his trick! She has been doing a slight giggle, but this was her first real laugh...Enjoy!!

Ready for School

Grace went to school yesterday...well, almost! She had her first Kindermusik class on Tuesday morning at 9:30. She loved it! She is the youngest child in her class, but enjoyed moving to the songs and looking at the other children. Her teacher is Ms. Nushia and she is great! She is so patient and has a lot of energy! We get our home packet next week, so watch out, Greg...nothing but kids songs in the car for sure now!!!

Here is the whole ensemble...the bib, diaper bag, dress, burp cloth, and diaper/wipe holder that we used for her "first day of school!" It's so fun making things for her...it's like dressing up a doll!

We'll try to post some pics soon of her on Labor Day. We had a picnic at Town Commons and walked through the park and down by the river. It was a great day to be outside. She wasn't a big fan of the bugs, though! She takes after Mommy for that one!

Dots, Dots, Everywhere!

For church today Grace wore a dress Mommy made for her. Grace spent most of her day looking at the dots! It certainly kept her occupied at lunch at Olive Garden!


The pillowcase style dress has her initials on it, too!


Of course she had to have a matching bib and diaper bag!

Sleepy Head!

Grace LOVES her Baby Einstein jungle gym! She plays so hard kicking her legs, trying to pull up, attempting to make the toys move, and looking at herself in the mirror...


...that she became so tuckered out that she went to fast asleep right there!
