Phoenix Zoo

Today Grace and I met up with our friends Jeannie and Tanner at the Phoenix Zoo. We had so much fun, well Grace did not make a peep since she was taking her morning nap but we still had a great time seeing the animals and visiting with friends.

Here are the two kiddos.

Love this little guy! I cant wait till Grace is old enough to run around with him and play. Thanks again guys for a fun morning. Hope to do it again soon!

Tongue

Grace has now discovered her tongue. The other morning I went in to check on her and she was laying in her crib eyes wide open putting her tongue in her mouth and then out again. She is now so much more alert, we are having tons of fun.

Tummy Time

So, last Tuesday Gracie started rolling from her tummy to her back. During tummy time her Daddy likes to make her roll ten times with a little bit of rest between each repetition. Maybe it is the football player inside of him. This was her last roll of the day and by this time she was feeling over worked. Now that she has it down Dad is going to try rolling from her back to her tummy.

Nursery

Now that Grace is a month old we have moved her out of her bassinet and into her crib. She has slept in her crib the last two nights like a champ.
This is one of our favorite places to snuggle with little miss.
Michael and I had so much fun putting the nursery together this summer, we are happy Grace is able to enjoy it now.

A couple weeks back our very talented sister-in-law, Jenny Morphy, came to town to meet her newest niece Gracie. Of course she brought her giant camera and took some amazing pictures. Check out her work at her website at www.jennymphotography.com. Thanks Jenny. We will treasure them forever. Here are some of our favorites.

Little Devil

We took Gracie to her first ASU sporting event and she was the smallest sun devil in the house. We went to go see her Aunt Malia put the smash on top ranked UCLA Friday night.

This is what little Missy did the entire time. She even slept through all the noise of the announcer and the loud music. I love going back to ASU campus and wearing our maroon and gold. ASU will always have a special place in our family's heart. I just cant wait to take her to a football game this year. Good game Auntie Malia!

DAD

Here is Grace just hangin out with her dad, she loves to give him kisses, she also loves to fall asleep like this!
AHHH..........
