The Best Birthday Surprise!

This weekend for my birthday my parents came into town along with JENNA! Jenna flew in from North Carolina as a total surprise. So happy she was able to play with Gracin and help keep her entertained. On Saturday night while my dad was grilling dinner, we put Jenna up to the Cinnamon Challenge.....

Lazy Saturday

Today Gracin and I are having  a lazy Saturday morning while Daddy is dove hunting.  Right now we are working on Gracin's core muscles... see below she is getting better at sitting up on her own!  Now, if she leans any, she will fall- so I usually still sit very close to grab her on the way down!  Her Boppy is a very helpful tool though to assist in her sitting up supported.  And don't you just love this pjs?  One of the best parts of a baby girl- the cute clothes  :)

One of my favorite times with Gracin is right after bath time... she is so cute and snuggly!

Here is a picture of Gracin and her favorite doggy buddy, Hooch.  Now,  before you get worried about where I placed Miss Gracin, please know that Hooch is the LAZIEST dog on the planet and would never make any sudden movements to make her fall over! 

Gracin also loves to pet on her Hoochie, which he also loves in return!

5 Months

Gracin turned 5 months this past Monday... and she is finally getting some baby fat but loosing her hair!  She is getting good at sitting up supported (still a little wobbly on her own) and she is grabbing at anything in her reach.  We had our first open house at her daycare which was very exciting.  On display at the open house were her first two art projects, her handprints and then another art project using her fingerprints to make an "itsy bitsy spider".  Very cute!  Ok, here are some picures from the past month...
