Now that Grace is a big sister, one of the special privileges she has is to watch a little TV. The show she is allowed to watch is the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. My mom introduced her to it while we were in the hospital and she LOVES it. One of her favorite things to do is to call Toodles. Every time she does it we all laugh hysterically, it is probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen. I finally got her doing it on video the other night...I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

More Videos
It seems that while I shoot videos all the time I rarely take time to upload them off the card to the blog. I'm at my Dad's house and I have plenty of help with Grace today so I'm loading them up. There are some really cute ones from the last 2 months and I've captured quite a few of her new tricks on film. I hope you enjoy!
We taught her the "WaWaWa"
Then she figured out how to do it all by herself.
This is another game Grace loves to play with us, but she's not particular - she will play it with anyone who will participate.
She learned how to climb the stairs at 9 months, heaven help me! Of course the first time was by accident, but we took her back down and let her do it again so we could get it on video. Now the gates are up. :)
Once she got to the top, Daddy slid with her back down - too fun!
One of Daddy's favorite things to do with his girl is to put her on his shoulders and take her for a ride, she LOVES it!
David's folks came up to visit over Labor Day and Mama bought Gracie this ball popper toy which is a new favorite. She loves to dance to it and shake her butt, too cute!
Another trick Grandpa taught her is to "motorboat". Here she is with her Grandma showing her how she can motorboat.

150!
This is my 150th post, wow! I am enjoying posting when I have time and certainly I enjoy being able to share our Gracie girl with friends & family far away. I've got lots of photos and a few videos for you from the last week, enjoy!
We are finally starting to feel better here. I haven't had an allergy issue that bad in quite sometime, but since I couldn't take any meds due to my low milk supply, I wasn't getting any better. The doctor told me (after a week and a half of awfulness) to start taking benadryl and mucinex and just to drink plenty of water, but despite me doubling my water intake my milk dried up after a week. Sunday was my last morning nursing my sweet girl and I'm certainly missing it. I put in alot of work and I was really hoping to make it a full year, but the Lord had other plans and I'm making my peace with it. Thankfully, she's having a much easier go of it since we've always supplemented with bottles of either formula or pumped milk. The good news about not nursing anymore is I have been able to take much stronger meds this week and my migraine has been bumped back down to my normal low grade headache, I can breathe and I am feeling better. Hopefully by Monday I'll be as good as new. I have to sing at church on Sunday, so just pray my voice holds out!
And just a random "yeah me!" thing...I had 2 of my best coupon days ever recently. At Target, I saved 62% (really, really hard to do at Target!) and at Kroger, I saved 71%! 50% is my target at the grocery store, so 71% is something to cheer about. Now, I can do better at Publix with BOGO items and my coupons, but I only buy BOGO items with coupons at Publix, all my other groceries come from Kroger. Since if I did all my shopping at Publix my percentage would go way down, I don't consider the occasional BOGO trip as regular shopping. :)
Grace loves her Jumperoo!
I have no legs!! (Bonus if you know what movie that's from!) She figured out that she can tuck her feet up under the tray and kind of swing, it's hysterical!
Here's video of her going to town...
She just learned how to pull up from a seated position. I can't believe it. Last night she even tried to climb up onto the fireplace. I'm not ready for that kind of mobility! She often can just sit back down, but sometimes she gets nervous and cries for help. Here's a few pictures from her first time pulling up, the video was taken a day later.
We had a wonderful summer rain the other night and it was finally cooling off outside. So, we took Grace out to enjoying the rain on the porch swing. Here she is with her Daddy
She saw cousin Grady use his passy so she knows it goes in the mouth, but still doesn't get what it's for.
Here she is doing her almost crawl...she has done several "correct" moves when crawling, but never more than 1 or 2 steps at a time. She's getting it though!
This was just cute, so I had to share.

Milestones with Video
Grace has been changing so much over the last 6 weeks! I can hardly believe she is over 7 months old already. Here's a quick summary of some of her most recent milestones:
Fake Cough - May 9th
Playing while sitting up & Glowworm CPR - June 20th
Just Playing - June 29th
Teeth, Toes & the Hiccups - June 30th
Sitting up & Scooting - July 1st
- She has her bottom 2 front teeth (they both came in within a week of each other at the first of June)
- She has moved into her big girl car seat (more for Mommy than for her!)
- She was sitting up on her own (if we put her down sitting up) and on Sunday she sat up on her own
- Immediately thereafter she got her first bump on the back of her head when she fell backwards.
- She is scooting/army crawling around
- She spent time in the beach for the first time and LOVED it (not a surprise since she loves the pool so much, but still exciting. :)
- She has been going to the nursery at church
- She had a babysitter for the first time with her cousins while on Vacation
- She has moved into size 3 diapers
- She is LOVING her solids and is even feeding herself cheerios, puffs and yogurt melts.
- She loves fresh fruit, so far her favorite is watermelon (just like her mommy!)
- She isn't a huge veggie fan, but as Grandma figured out, if you mix anything with peaches she'll eat it.
- She loves to jump in her jumperoo
- She loves to play with her toys, on her own or with mommy or daddy.
- She give the best open mouth kisses!
I know there is more, but that's the major stuff anyway. I've been shooting lots of video, so here's a few of the best ones.
