Uniquely Gracie

Gracie has been crawling for about two weeks, but this past week she has perfected her form. Enjoy!

Oh, What a Wonderful Life!

We have certainly been up to a lot these days! Here is a snapshot of the past couple of weeks....

Gracie during devotional time...she loves to turn the pages, or try climbing on whatever she is near. Realizing we need to work on manners...

Gracie's Boo-Boo

Gracie took a spill this morning while trying to climb up the molding around the closet door. She fell into the molding and put a bump on her forehead. I called her pediatrician and the nurse told me to keep her awake for another hour and to watch that her eyes don't become dilated. She is doing well and just went down for a nap.

Just after the accident happened, the carpet cleaners came to give me an estimate on our floors. Gracie was fussy so I told them what happened. One of the guys said he walked in the kitchen the other day and his one and a half year old was on top of the kitchen table, scaring him to death! Well that is totally believable. However, the other guy pipes up..."My wife called me the other day and said she couldn't find our child (also one and a half) and I raced home. When I pulled in the driveway I noticed he was on top of the roof! We had left a ladder by the side of the house." Really???? That story is so bizarre I cannot imagine it to be true. Anyway, I guess we'll never know!

Saying "Dog" and Just Being Cute

The first 30 seconds or so of this video are of me watching Gracie and looking silly but then it gets better! The best laugh is in the last 2 seconds!

Thanks, Court, for the picture! :)

9 Months

Gracie had her 9 month checkup today. Here's her latest stats:

17 pounds 13 ounces--40%
27 1/2 inches--50%

It's funny--we think she is soooooooooooooo big, but she's right in between most girls her age!
She is making progress in all areas of development and the doctor was very pleased!

I am having trouble uploading pictures right now, but as soon as I can I have some cute shots to post.
