Yummies

After Gracie's check up the doctor said she was ready for some rice cereal. She LOVED IT! She was a bit confused but I am sure she will get the hang of it.

She kept pulling on dads hands for him to go FASTER!

Again FASTER daddy FASTER!

Ouch.......

Grace had her 4 month Check up this week and had to get shots... Good thing she has these chunky thighs...

I am not sure who cried more Grace or her mom. The nurse hugged me afterwards to comfort me even though Grace was the one in pain. How embarrassing, gee I wonder where I get that from..............???

After a nice long nap she was back to smiles.

Tummy Time

Well these days Grace is finally enjoying her tummy time.


She is getting stronger and stronger each day. Mom and Grace love our tummy time every morning together. She smiles when she rolls over unto her back.... just wanted to share a few pics.

Christmas

This year we went to California to be with my family for Christmas. Here are few shots of the fun filled week.

Santa Claus brought the "big boys" BB guns. That kept them happy for a few days
Aunt Mimi

Gracie Loves her Boppa, she was all smiles..

We also got to meet my lil brother and his wife Kati's little baby Brea. SOOO cute!
More Cousin Love... Lola could not get enough of miss Grace
Such a fun trip, I am trying to find an excuse to get back there again soon. Mom and dad thanks for such a nice trip and for everything. You always make it so nice for us to come home.

Updates

Our Grace is growing, she just had a check up and weighed in at 14lbs!! Chubby!
She now is into textures, I am constantly snuggling her with new fabrics. Silky is her favorite
Smiles and more smiles!
We think we got our first giggle out of her. She loves when dad shakes her tummy and makes a funny noise. I cant belive how big and old she is getting. It really makes sense now when moms have told me to ENJOY every part good or bad, it seems to being flying.

Thanksgiving in San Diego

This year for Thanksgiving was a special one for Michael and I. This has been our first year since we have been married that we could spend together without having a football game on the same day. We headed to San Diego to be with the Marquardts.

Cousin LOVE...

Here is the table mom Marquardt served 14 of us. It was sooo yummy!!

We had such a fun week. We took walks, ate, watched football, ate, shopped, saw movies, and did I say ate............ Thanks to mom and dad Marquardt for such a nice week. We love going home and visiting with everyone. Miss everyone already!
