It has been a long time since I posted any updates about our little family or miss Gracie. We found out just after Gracie turned 8 months that we would be adding to our family in November...surprise!! So any spare minute I have between changing bums, feeding, or entertaining, I spend napping or stuffing my face!
Since it has been awhile, prepare for a very lengthy post as I try to catch up on the happenings of our family for the last 2 months.
At the end of March cousin Steph got married! We went up the night before to Emily and Brian's house and had a birthday celebration for my Dad and spent time visiting. The next day was busy as we went to the sealing, luncheon, and then reception. It was so great to see beautiful and happy Stephanie was. It was a great day!
Grandpa just LOVES Kaleb and could spend the whole day talking to him, oh wait, he kinda did:)
Our days consist of eating (yes that is two cookies in her hands! She can reach ANYTHING), sleeping (cutest sleeping position ever), and hanging out with Momma (notice my knees in every picture? She likes to close by, what can I say!).
Kaleb took a random day off and took us for a picnic and hike up Provo canyon one day. It was great. Don't mind that I cut Gracie's head off in this picture.
For Easter we went to my parents house. We went for walks, colored eggs, had an egg hunt, and went to the park. The kids LOVED it all!
I just love the picture of the grandkids on the couch. It was the best one we could get, and NO one is looking:)
Gracie started to crawl 2 days after she turned 9 months. The ONLY thing she would crawl for was her binki :) She went to her 9 month appointment almost 3 weeks late, so her stats are a little off, but she weighed 19 lbs (67%), was 29.2 in long (91%), and her head was 17.8 in (80%). Gracie loves to be outside, so we go on a walk almost every day. She still loves Mommy and Daddy and being held!
Just a few weeks after she started crawling Gracie started getting really brave and tries to walk. She is really wobbly, but she can take a few steps! She loves to use her walker to balance.
Kaleb took us to one of my favorite places, the ZOO!! We went with a couple of the guys we works with and their families, it was a fun day!
Kaleb must have got on the camera and erased the pictures with him and Gracie:(
Kaleb got me great mothers day present! Gracie wore a onesie to church that said, Dad and I agree, Mom's the best!
Aunt Sarah is here for the summer!! We LOVE having her and are so grateful for everything she does to help us!
This little munchkin is 10 months!! I just can't believe she will be one in just 2 short months! She is still experimenting with walking and gets a little better every day. She has gotten much better with sleeping the last few weeks, we hope it continues! She is into everything and keeps me busy cleaning up her messes everyday! She is doing great at eating and likes to try new things. Some of her favorites right now are bananas, pretzels, and oatmeal (however it has to be out of the bowl that I have for breakfast or she won't touch it!).
She is growing so fast! She doesn't fit in most of her 9 month and most of the 12 month fit great! She still only has 2 teeth, but we think she is working on getting the top 2 in.
Gracie's new favorite place to be is in the bathroom! I can to keep the doors shut, because she checks all day to see if they are open! She is still very vocal and loves to giggle at the things she sees. She loves to wave and makes friends wherever she goes because she waves and gives people the cutest smiles! The last couple of weeks she has started to scrunch her nose when she smiles, it seriously melts your heart! Oh how we love this girl!
