10 Weeks - double digits!!!

It's almost Christmas and Grace is just growing up a storm! She has officially changed over to size 2 diapers. She rolled over for the first time this week, from belly to back. We are pretty sure it was an accident as she hasn't been able to recreate it, but we were so proud! She gave her first real smile to Uncle Taylor and she was babysat for the first time! Our lives have all been blessed, we are truly lucky to have this little girl and to be able to watch her develop and grow.


Grace's shirt says "My 1st Christmas".


Grace has always been a kicker, from still inside Mommy's belly she would kick, kick, kick - but now she is really starting to enjoy the freedom of lots of leg room! She just goes to town kicking those legs and waving those arms!


Grace has always given her Daddy great big smiles! She loves to try and grab on to his beard and nose! Someone told me that maybe the contrast between Daddy's white face and dark beard makes it easier for Grace to see his facial expressions. Whatever the reason, she could watch him for HOURS!


Grace and Bean got a little closer this week! Bean was so good as she allowed Grace to pet her and feel her fur. I think it will still be a few more weeks before I feel comfortable with Athens being so close. After all, he could squish her more easily!


Grace has been adjusting to winter life. Here she is all bundled up to go out grocery shopping with Mommy!


Mommy and Daddy before their first date post Grace. Yes it was a tacky sweater party!

Uncle Taylor stayed home with Grace and was her first official babysitter. We don't have any pictures of Uncle Taylor and Grace that night because she was sleeping when we left and she was sleeping when we arrived home. We know they had an awesome time though - there are videos to prove it.
