At the park for the first time with our FOUR MONTH OLD!!

Can you believe that Grace is now 4 months old? My goodness is time flying by! It is hard to imagine a life without our little bundle of joy. Everyday she is doing something new, and quickly becoming a little person full of personality and attitude. She is turning over regularly now, laughs all the time, can play in her johnny jump seat, and loves it!!! She also can spend a lot more time on her tummy now, lifting her head and playing with toys, and can spend a good 15-30 minutes that way.

We knew that she is too small for the swings at the park, but we wanted to try anyway... put a little blanket infront or behind her... and away we go!!! Here she is! There is a video of her at the end being pushed.

Teething!

AHHHGGGHHHH!!! Teething sucks! Gracie went from never crying or being fussy to an almost constant state of fussiness! Yes, she has moments of cuteness and is all and all a good baby. It just feels like someone swapped out my girl with this new cranky creature! The thing that tops it all off. is that just last week she realized that she has vocal chords and likes to scream in every octave known to man... and the high pitched one is her fave.... So instead of my quiet little angel that loves to smile and laugh, she uses an ear shattering scream to get my attention!

Pam Tovic said it best "Good things babies are cute, otherwise we would throw them out the window."

More than anything, I just want my baby to feel better, I hate to see her in pain. It breaks my heart. Since she is such a good baby, I know she really must be hurting to be this fussy.

I am using the Highlands Teething tablets, and they seem to work somewhat... Anybody have any other tricks that they use to get through this? (for both baby and mama)

Gracies first Halloween

Gracie was a pink dinosaur for her first Halloween. I guess we just dressed her up to show her off, really she is a little to young to go trick or treating.... We went trick or treatin to 3 neighborhood houses, but it is not like she eats candy, it's more like "here look at my cute baby" no candy please, we just wanted to show her off!! Fun nonetheless!

My mom was here for the weekend, and that is always a great treat!
Our neighbors and their kids! That is Stephen as Winnie the Pooh!
Daddy and baby...
Stephen is awesome for dressing up!!! I love him!
This is just cute!
