Fast Cars and Freedom!

So, our little one is just about 2 months old now!! Can you believe it?! I can't either. We decided that 2 months was old enough to take her on her first road trip all the way to Bakersfield to meet her Grandma Baillie for the first time!!! What a special time that was, Stephen's sister Alicia also met us there and all the Baillie's were together for the first time since Grace was born!! Grace did great on the ride, she slept all 4 and 1/2 hours that we were driving. We stopped in Paso Robles the half way mark to eat (her and us), and then kept trucking, and she awoke for that, then went right back to sleep. I wish it will always be this easy, but I am not naive, times will change, we are just going to take advantage of how well she travels now.

Alicia brought Grace up one of the coolest presents we've seen, and little red convertible!! It is a little big for her right now, but we put her in it anyway and she looked so darn cute!!!

The first time that Grandma Sue saw Gracie, and I think it is safe to say that her heart was melted. Grandma watched her for 6 hours which was a wonderful treat for Stephen and I to have some alone time for the first time in a long time!

Aunt Alicia holding Gracie and spending some quality time.

When we got home we had a nice BBQ at our house with our friends Juan, Shelly and their baby Olivia (who happen to live across the street) for Labor Day. Our other neighbor bought Grace and Olivia matching red, white and blue outfits for the holiday and below is the attempt of us trying to get a picture of them both together. Olivia is 7 months old and if we let them alone will clobber Grace just out of curiosity.

We are having a great time with our baby girl. She is still a delight, sleeps 7-8 hours at night, smiles a lot and is growing like a weed!! She is pretty much out of her 0-3 month clothes and is only 2 months old!! I try to play dress up with her as much as possible so she has a chance to wear everything!

She also loves, and I mean loves being outside. I take her out on a walk everyday around the forest of Mt. Hermon and she is alert as can be looking everywhere. Aimee, my sister and I go out daily and try to get our exercise in, and if anyone has been to Mt. Hermon before you know it is a lot of hills, so our legs and butts are starting to look good!!! ( the previous sentence is a glimpse into the future...)

Bottom line, all is well at the Baillie house, we are happy, blessed and just enjoying the time we have with her and each other!
