6 Months

What a difference 6 months makes! This is Grace the day we brought her home from the hospital.

This is Grace today, officially 6 months old. She doesn't use this carseat anymore because her feet hang over the end of it, but it is still out so I thought I would take a comparison picture. She looks huge!

Happy Valentine's Day

Since the kids were sick this week Brandon and I didn't know if we would be able to go out for Valentine's Day. Last night we decided they were well enough and all 5 of us went out for a romantic dinner at Applebee's followed by a trip to Target where the kids all got something and we got fabric softener. Die hard romantics we are. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but I did take some today.
For breakfast we stepped it up this year and made heart shaped pancakes. The boys thought they were fabulous.

Grace got to sport a new dress to church that just shouted Valentine's Day to me. We actually bought it a few months ago and she just happens to be growing into this size (12 month) right now.
After church I decided to dress her up in some more new clothes. This is the softest coat ever.
Underneath the coat. The pants are a little long but they will probably shrink.
To finish up our Valentine's Day a little snuggling with my girl. All in all it was a good day, even if we did celebrate with our munchkins.

I Was Wrong

Two out of three kids were getting better, one was not. Kyle was up a lot last night coughing, and for the 4th day in a row pretty much refusing to eat or drink anything. I took him to the doctor and the poor kid has a double ear infection and probably tonstillitis although they decided not to gag him to check since he already needed meds for the ears. He was crying while he coughed saying he just wanted to sleep so the doctor was nice and gave us some cough medicine with codeine. Not such a fan taking it, but he has been out for a much needed 3 hours now. Hopefully now we are for real getting better.

We're Still Here

We've been sick, hence no posting, but I think we are on the mend. After 3 days of barely moving the boys were up and playing today. I think this is their impersonation of Grace.
That face is part of why her shirt looks like this. Sticking your tongue out constantly leads to a lot of wet shirts. Well that and puking all over your shirt.

First Fountain

Okay, this was her second fountain, but still pretty fun. See that little ponytail sticking up on the top of her head. She obviously thought she was pretty cute.
The aftermath. Her hair stayed like that the remainder of the day. I guess we will hose her off in the morning to get her hair back down.
Side profile of her crazy hair (complete with tongue sticking out).

Just another picture of Grace and her crazy tongue. Since she was born she has loved having her tongue sticking out...hopefully she will outgrow that someday.

Hair bows and Happiness

We wanted to get a picture of this outfit as it is quickly becoming too small. It's 9 month size, but that is her midriff trying to expose itself.
Snuggling with Daddy. She is getting to be kinda chunky.

"Why are you taking pictures of me again Mom?" Why, because today she is sporting her first hair bow (clipped in, not glued). So fun!
This is a classic Grace face. Tongue out and smiling.
Another pic of our happy girl. I think she likes the bows.

5 Months

I can't believe Grace is already 5 months old! Time is going by way too fast. Check her out holding her head up pretty straight. This is a huge improvement for her.

Random shot of Kyle eating dinner and Grandma and Papa's house last night. I thought it was cute.
Trying to get a picture of the three of them. I think I took 10 pictures and this was the best we got. Not too bad I guess considering Grace still hates being on her tummy and Kyle kept scooting closer and closer to the camera.
Our two little brunettes.
