Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent a couple of days in El Dorado visiting Clay's family. Mimi gave Gracie a new hairstyle with some gel--she got some cute curls! Gracie also tried apple sauce mixed into her cereal for the first time, which was fun for us because she made some funny faces. Gracie also had her first bathtub bath. You can view El Dorado pictures here (sorry I wasn't sure how to get them onto the blog directly).

Over the weekend we had Thanksgiving #2 with my family. This is when we discovered a Thanksgiving miracle....Gracie's first tooth! Gracie had not really been herself over the holiday (although she was still surprisingly happy most of the time), and finally on Friday night when I woke up 3 times with her, I finally ran my finger over her gums and discovered the little tooth starting to come through!

She is really loving her cereal!Getting some cherry flavored orajel

Gracie is so cute! I can't believe how big our babies are getting. She is a great eater! Hutch is still spitting oatmeal at me. :-) We are going to start baby food as soon as I get a chance to head to the grocery store. HA! It's so funny because with Tess we headed to buy baby food the very day she turned 6 months...with Hutch we are like- when we get a chance to get some we will try it. funny...

a tooth emerging already? way to go, gracie! when kekoa gets fussy for some unknown reason and i see him biting on something at the same time, i figure he's teething. glad she likes her cereal with applesauce. can you believe they're 6 months already? we're going to introduce the rest of the vegetables and fruit, and a sippy cup with juice over Christmas break! we need to get together sometime soon!
