11 weeks! Merry Christmas!

This week Mommy took Grace in to see Daddy during the school day and bring lunch! His class was still in session when we arrived. All Daddy's 8th graders are crowded around the table. You can see Grace's car seat in the middle if you look close. They all thought she was "SOOOO CUTE!" One girl told us that she really wanted a baby. I told her that she could come up after lunch and change Grace's diaper... She changed her mind about having a baby now! heheGrace is working those muscles! Notice how she is now pushing up her shoulders/upper chest not just her head! We are hoping to see her start really rolling over soon!
Grace's Great Aunt Mary Ann and Marcia sent her a HUGE box of goodies! Grace looked tiny compared to her box. =) She is so lucky to have people in her life who love her so much! Thank you!!
Grace LOVED all her new outfits, toys, and goodies! She is giving a BIG smile!!!
We had Christmas at our house on the 23rd. We did not think we could fit all the presents into the car to take to the cabin this year. Of all the presents in front of our tree Mommy's favorite present this year was GRACE! =) Look at that happy girl! She is smiling more and MORE!
Grace's stocking.
Bow on her head!
Grace's first basketball hoop! SCORE!
On Christmas Eve we headed to the cabin. Our Cabin this year is called Muir Lodge located in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. We had a beautiful view of Grandfather Mountain. Mimi and J-pa were waiting inside, so excited to see their grandbaby!
Here is Grace on Christmas Eve. Her new napping schedule is working miracles! She is such an alert, cheerful baby during awake times! It is an absolute joy to watch her as she grows. Mommy and Daddy could not be more proud!!!
Grace is not quite sure what she thinks about this Santa hat! hehe
Christmas Morning we put on our cute Christmas Dress. We have been working every day on our tummy time and getting that head and upper chest up in the air! Christmas was no exception. She worked those muscles! Look how strong she has gotten!
Bean loves a good place to snuggle!
Uncle Taylor and Grace... I think Grace was getting ready to head back for a nap. You can see her eyes are starting to glaze over, but she had to stay awake while Uncle Taylor opened up her gift for him!
Giving her presents to Mimi and J-pa!
Grace's Aunt Jen got her the cutest socks for Christmas!
Dress says Mommy's Precious Gift. =) Couldn't be more true!
The day after Christmas we went to downtown Blocking Rock. A very cute mountain town here in North Carolina. Grace loved getting out in the fresh air! Although it was during her nap time... so she snoozed most of our time there.
Half Snooze.... trying to decide should I wake up or sleep more. PS - that hand is REALLY yummy!

Really neat little space we found. So glad that 8 years later this is still the man of my dreams! Good for Grace to know that not only do we love her with everything we have, but Mommy and Daddy love each other too.
