Summer? The 80 degree weather would make you think so! I didn't think Grace would get to wear her outfits with tie tops... but looks like we were able to at least one day! I just love her little arms. The thumb sucking has also continued. She always uses her right thumb and often puts herself to sleep while sucking.
Smiles all around can be deceiving. We have also had our fair number of "gross" moments! Daddy thinks blow out diapers are pretty gross... he often calls Mommy to finish up because he just can't stomach it. Good thing Mommy doesn't mind! Mommy on the other hand thinks that big spit ups are pretty gross. Especially when they get on Mommy! Once Grace managed to get it all over Mommy's chin and neck. That was the last time Mommy went in for a kiss right after Grace feeds! 
We asked Grandma and Grandpa to think of some "gross stories" about Daddy and this is what they came up with:We have to go with "Return of the Sonic footlong chili cheese dog" for a gross story about Gabe. We had gone for the day from Albuquerque,NM to the 4 corners of Arizona,Colorado,New Mexico and Utah. On the way there we had lunch at a Sonic. Gabe wanted, and got, a footlong hot dog with chili and cheese. We enjoyed 4 corners and headed back to Albuquerque. Somewhere along the route Gabe didn't feel well and...It was the return of the Sonic footlong chili cheese dog! Gabe always tended to get sick on vactions. He would get himself worked up and it took it's toll!.
Uncle Zach says he remembers him eating his boogers!
We also asked Mimi and J-pa to think of some "gross stories" about Mommy and this is what they said:
J-Pa's - on the day that we brought Kendall home from the hospital we felt we had it "under control". Having taken the "Diapering Baby" class with Kendall during the last 24 hours prior to our being released from the hospital, Dad (the perfectionist) had it all down pat and was brimming with confidence as he headed to the changing table to change Kendall at home for the first time. He removed the diaper with expertise and then BAM - Kendall shot explosive poop as if out of an air cannon all over her legs, Dad's arm, the changing table and the adjacent wall. Dad turned to me and said "They didn't cover this in the class". We still laugh about it =)
Mimi's - When we had Kendall we were in our late 20's. One couple we enjoyed spending time with was a couple years older than us and childless by choice. When Kendall was a couple months old we were going out to dinner with them for the first time since Kendall had been born. When our friends arrived they did the politically correct thing and cooed over Kendall, even offering to hold her for a minute. The wife had an ample chest and dressed in the "lots of exposed cleavage" Florida style. Two seconds after Kendall was in her arms Kendall "spit up" (our child who rarely spit up) a thick stream of milk right down the wife's cleavage. Kendall was handed back to me and they hurriedly took their leave.
With that said, we will smile through your spit ups and poops and just remember them so we can share gross Grace stories with you later! =) Other then those few moments where we think, wow gross! We find you pretty amazing! Here are some pictures of us just enjoying life this week.
We love you Grace Jacklyn. You are... everything we imagined and more. Every time we hold you we are reminded how blessed we are to have such a wonderful gift! Happy March sweet girl.xoxo
Mommy & Daddy
