A note from GoldieLocks

Finally, I'm growing some hair! Yeah for me! I know one day it will be golden, long and flowing...but for now it's just fuzzy.

Exactly what do they do all day?

There are a lot of times during the day that I think about my 3 sweeties at home and wonder what they're doing. Napping, eating, playing fetch, napping, eating...these are the answers I get when I call to ask.

But, what really happens, that they hope I never find out about? Well, I usually find the evidence when I get home at night. The carseat is out of place...hmm, so they went somewhere; the vacuum is out...so they were cleaning (ok, so that's just a dream, it's never really happened); why is the camera in the kitchen...and the pictures tell the truth.

What happens when Mama's away...too cute!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Months!

Happy 5 Months Gracyn!

Here's what you are up to:
- Solid food: tried it, hated it...we're still working on it. We know that you are going to love big girl food, it will just take some time to get used to the change. Daddy makes a mean steak, so I'm sure you'll come around eventually!
- You love you're ExcerSaucer and have figured out all the toys. You play well by yourself and only get frustrated with the bucket toy, so we had to take that one off.
- Everything goes into your mouth! There are no signs of a tooth yet, but I'm sure they're on the way!
- You are working on sitting alone and you love to stand up on the lap of whoever is holding you.
- You are constantly moving some part of your body, even while you eat, and you are not a fan of snuggling since that requires being still for too long!

We love and can't wait to see what Month 6 brings!

Easter Sunday

For all our faithful readers (all 5 of you), this is a REAL post. No April Fools jokes today.

We were up EARLY this morning for the 8:30am church service. We made it on time and in one piece, which was fabulous. Gracyn was super cute in her dress, socks & shoes...but the shoes & socks were off before we made into the parking lot!

All smiles with her bunny!

Our first Easter as a party of three.

And, the Easter bunny came. He brought a little pink outfit, some candy for Lee & Easter eggs!

What the heck are these things?

If I can just cram this in my mouth it would be perfect!

Add in hamburgers for lunch, Sunday afternoon nap & steak for dinner, it was a pretty great day!

March Madness

Pop-pop (my grandfather) traveled all the way down from Delaware for a week to meet Gracyn, visit with LuLu, Vance, Sara, Preston, Lee and I. We spent 3 days with him and he just loved every minute with Gracyn.

We are thankful that Gracyn has 6 great grandparents and 4 grandparents! Lee & I both have made such wonderful memories with our grandparents and can't wait for Gracyn to experience the same thing! She's definitely got them all wrapped around her.

Rice Cereal

Gracyn LOVES rice cereal! Yeah, right!

Gracyn’s First Words & Steps!!!

Our baby Gracyn is a genius…she said her first words today and actually stood up by herself! It was an amazing feat because she isn’t even 5 months old yet.

While Gracyn and Daddy were sitting on the couch after our bottle this morning, she started babbling and I didn’t pay much attention to it. A few minutes later she started again, but this time she was saying DA DA DA DA DA!!! Gracyn’s first words! Since this morning, this is pretty much all she has been saying all day long.

Secondly, she took her first attempt to stand up today as well. She started by lying on her belly, pushing her butt way up in the air, and then using her hands to push up. I couldn’t believe it. She stood up for about two seconds and then fell softly on her diaper. She tried it twice more before pooping out.

It really has been a monumental day for Gracyn.

It has also been a monumental April Fool’s Day (hehe)!

April Fool’s Everyone!
