6 Months Old
Our sweet boy is now almost 7 months old! I can't believe it, time never goes faster than when you have a new baby. These pictures were taken on his 6 month half birthday. He is such a happy boy, I am so in love!!
And because we can't have a post without my sweet girl, here's a few pictures of her from the same day.

I Love You
Within the last month Grace has started saying "I Love You". I mean, saying it loud and clear, unprompted and with intention. The first time she said "I Love You Momma" it just melted my heart. This morning she said it and then climbed into my lap to give me a big hug. I am sure blessed to be able to stay home with my little miracles and this new phase (while it brings with it even more discipline challenges) sure is sweet.
I owe lots of pictures and lots of updates, I may never catch up...but I'll try! David just about has our computer back up and running, so hopefully I can work on it soon. Until then, here are some pics of the kids on Christmas day.

Timothy's Birth
The day Timothy arrived was wonderful. I was a anxious and terribly nervous about the IV and the Spinal, but I made it through and hearing Tim cry for the first time was amazing.
It was strange going in for scheduled c-section over an emergency one, I had no idea the operating table was SO small and how many people were actually in the room. Plus, since everything was so much slower, I got to "experience" Tim's birth more than Grace's which was amazing. When she pulled Tim out and Dr Hudson said he could call it, David said "It's a Boy!" with such gusto...he was so thrilled it was a boy. I was too, we were so excited that Grace was going to have a little brother.
When I held him for the first time, I was overwhelmed with joy, happiness and peace. He was such a stocky little guy and he was a natural nurser...my arms felt full having him in my embrace. It felt so right. Here are a few photos from our first few days together.
I'm catching up on my blogging and will have more photos soon!!

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.

Grace's Baptism
We celebrated Grace's Baptism into the Covenant today. My mom made her a beautiful gown, she looked so lovely I almost cried putting her in it...it was so special to have her in something handmade by her Grandma. Wow, it was so much more emotional than I thought it would be. Seeing God's grace for us literally poured out on our daughter was just amazing. I was doing fine with the vows and the charge until Jim said Grace was our long awaited miracle. I lost it then and cried through the baptism. After the service, I told Jim he got me with that and he said that it was ok to cry happy tears. :)
We had all our parents as well as David's oldest sister Carol and her family with us to celebrate. In addition our friends the Drehers & Crabbs joined us to celebrate. Afterwards we rented a pavilion at a park for a celebration picnic. There was a field on one side and a playground on the other, it worked out wonderful as the kids were able to play hard and enjoy themselves which was great.
We are certainly blessed to have such an amazing group of friends and a wonderful family. Grace is surrounded by so many people who love her so much, she is a blessed little girl. Here are a few of the pictures from her big day.

6 months already?!?
Grace turned 6 months old yesterday, I can hardly believe it! There are times when I look at her and she seems so grown up, and other times that she is still my precious little baby. She is growing and changing every day and it is my pleasure to get to watch her mature. That said she still falls asleep in my arms and cuddles with me and I realized even today that those days are numbered. Before I know it she will be an independent toddler and too busy for cuddling with mommy.
I teared up a little today as she laid in my arms asleep before her nap. I wish I could freeze time, but realizing that's not possible I try instead not to rush on. I let her lay asleep in my arms a few minutes longer before I put her in her cradle. I let her play with my necklace a little longer than usual when she woke up today even though her pulling was irritating the back of my neck...she loves it so much it's worth it. I love how she looks up at me when she's playing and how she grabs my face, pulls me close and gives me a huge mouth open wide kiss on the lips. As we played today I laid down with her on the floor and kissed her all over as she giggled and cackled so loud it hurt my ears, but overwhelmed my heart with joy. I love making her laugh.
I know the common thread of this blog is my gratitude for this precious girl, but it really is the common thread in my heart. I have always been thankful for my family. I love my husband more than words, and now having Grace in our lives I am overwhelmed by God's blessings. I truly am more grateful than any words can express.
Whew, before I start bawling here or stop writing to run upstairs and check on her despite the fact that the monitor beside me assures me she's sound asleep...let me stop and tell you about our girl. We had her 6 month check up today and and that meant more shots, yuck. I can't tell you how proud I was of Grace. She didn't flinch with the first prick, just stuck her lower lip out with the second and started to cry with the 3rd for just moments until I had her in my arms. She is so brave and because she did so well, I didn't cry! Once again Dr. Matthews assures me that she is perfect. She is 14lbs, 14ozs and 25 inches tall which is the 25% for height and weight. The only concern she has is for her super fair skin tone. She is ghost white, just like her mommy. Unfortunately that means she'll be white or red her whole life, but I'm going to do my best to keep her from getting sunburned as long as possible. Pray for us!
So that's it for now. I'll post more pictures soon.

Making Progress
What an active week! On Friday we had to move Grace into her 3- 6 month clothes. Purely for length, but it was time. She woke up Friday am and had busted all the snaps open on the bottom of her sleeper - she is just too long. So I spent Friday washing and swapping out all her clothes. It's been fun to see her in even more big girl outfits and she is one well dressed baby girl, much in thanks to her cousin Maggie who passes down all her clothes. We love hand me downs! I'll have to get some pictures of her in some of her rompers, which are by far my favorites.
Friday night we had our friends Viv & Eric over to play Rock Band on the Wii and their 2 year old daughter, Adrianna, was all about Gracie. She was so cute saying "my baby" this and "my baby" that - we had alot of fun together.
We went back to Lactation yesterday and my milk production has more than doubled - praise God! She is getting 3ozs per feeding now and only needs 4, so we're almost there! All the hard work is paying off and we're gonna keep on nursing/pumping/supplementing for each feeding for another 2ish weeks, hoping she can get that last ounce. While I was there my consultant mentioned that I might consider becoming a Lactation Consultant. I'm definitely passionate about it and I think I would enjoy it...something to pray about for the future.
Yesterday was a big development day for Gracie too. She has been able to roll from her back to stomach 3/4 of the way for a while, but yesterday she rolled over no less than 5 times! She still needs a little help getting her arm out from under her, but not every time (I find if she's mad, she can get it out a little easier, lol.) I'm going to start taping her anytime she tries so the first time she intentionally rolls over and can get her arm out from under her I'll have it on video. :)
She also held her bottle yesterday. She has been getting closer and closer for days, but yesterday while David was feeding her, she held her bottle by herself! She is only 4 1/2 months old, I think that's pretty stinking good.
Tomorrow Grace & I are heading off to Lacey's house and she can't wait to meet her Auntie Lacey and her brood of cousins. I can't wait either - I haven't seen the big kids since Lacey's shower in August and I've only got my hands on Jane Dare once at my shower which was 6 months ago!! It will be so nice to be able to spend time with my BFF and all the kids. Plus, it will be research for Carol to see how 5 kids fit in the Odyssey, lol. (For those of you who didn't know, David's sister Carol is expecting baby #5 in late September.) Lacey now lives in NC, so the trip will be a long one, so say a prayer for us as we travel solo. Grace is such a wonderful little traveller, but as anyone would, she gets a little tired of being confined to her seat after a while.
Anyway, I promise lots of pictures when we get home. Until then - here are a few random photos for you to enjoy.

David came home with an awful Migrane on Friday. He laid down with Grace and she had her bunny - I had to take this photo, it was too sweet.
Random closeups
In her sweet Easter dress that she didn't get to wear on Easter Sunday since the service was SO early. She wore it on Sunday though and I had to get some pictures of her with her Easter basket from Mama & Papa
Grandma got her this froggy book and she loves to eat the legs and crown!

Some Solid Fun
Wednesday was the prettiest day since Grace was born. Sun was shining, 70 degrees, just beautiful!! So, when David got home we attempted another walk to see how my back would hold up. We made it 1.5 miles with me pushing Grace in the stroller and my back hasn't been hurting too much - woohoo!! Hopefully this means I am on the mend and can start walking more regularly. :)
On Thursday, Grace had her 4 month checkup. Our delicate little flower only weights 11lbs, 8ozs and is 23" long. She's only in the 10th percentile for weight and height, but the Doctor said she was perfect (as usual). She does want her to start on solids to help her get more calories during the day. I am also going to have to start pumping again and go back to lactation since I'm not making enough milk. That's frustrating, but we'll do what we have to do. I think we may just have to invest in a hospital grade pump. The price of the pump is less than formula for the rest of the year and we'll have it for any and all future babies, so it's something to think about.
She also had to get shots again, poor girl. I did better this time and the Dr & Nurse praised me for my bravery. I asked for a lolly pop...lol. She seemed to scream more this time, but it could have been because I was holding her down and not across the room like last time. :( She had a reaction to the vaccines this time, fever, achy, cranky, just miserable and only seemed to be comforted by me. I kept her on Tylenol for 36 hours to try to help her through it and by Saturday morning she was back to her normal self. I felt bad since David's folks arrived while we were at the Doctors and only stayed until Saturday afternoon so they didn't get too much sweet Gracie time. Next time.
Friday night we started her on solids - too funny!
She has had them every day since and is doing better about figuring it out. She does not like the cereal, but I think it's because I'm mixing it with formula and she doesn't like the formula. I'm going to try to mix it with my milk next time and see if she likes it better. Like a true member of my family though she LOVES applesauce. Great Grandma will be excited. :)
Here are a few pictures of her first solids experience and her time with Mama & Papa.

Ewww....
This one just cracks me up - her expression is priceless!
No need to call child protective services, we stopped trying after this one.
Trying again Saturday Morning
Taking a Break
Still not so sure

Beginning Milestones
Grace is just over 3 months old and this week has been full of her first milestones. She is finally getting the hang of grasping things and can briefly hold on to rattles now. She has been trying for weeks to grab the panda that hangs from her play mat and she is getting closer and closer. She knows how to move it and swing it from the link-a-doo, but she hasn't quite grabbed it yet.
We also started reading this week. Before she wouldn't even make eye contact with the books, but now she is starting to get into it. She talks and squeals and tries to grab the books...I'm so glad! I have been wanting to get into a routine of reading to her, but she just hasn't been interested until now. I can't wait to introduce her to all our favorite books!!
She has also started to laugh. It is the most amazing sound ever! I just love to her here cackle. She doesn't do it often, but she has done it and I can't wait for David to hear it. I'll also try to get it on video for her grandparents since it will be virtually impossible to get her to do it on the webcam anytime soon. As soon as I pull out a camera of any kind she is so interested in the equipment that I have a hard time distracting her, so I need David to get me interacting with her on tape. LOL
Finally, on Monday she was taking a nap and started to cry when she woke up. I came up to get her, and this is how I found her!
She must have been up for a while before she started crying as she had rolled over in her swing. It was so funny that after ensuring she was safe and could breathe I had to get my camera. I had only been buckling her in on one side since the clicking had been waking her up and she was immobile, but now she must be completely buckled in...too funny!
This was just too cute not to post even though it's not technically a milestone. :) When David gets home from work, he takes a few minutes to cuddle with Grace first thing. She LOVES her daddy. It is so cute to see how much she adores him and how as she's getting older she is more and more attentive with him. She gives him the biggest smiles, she touches his face and it's just a matter of time before she gets ahold of his glasses. :)

She has also started to laugh. It is the most amazing sound ever! I just love to her here cackle. She doesn't do it often, but she has done it and I can't wait for David to hear it. I'll also try to get it on video for her grandparents since it will be virtually impossible to get her to do it on the webcam anytime soon. As soon as I pull out a camera of any kind she is so interested in the equipment that I have a hard time distracting her, so I need David to get me interacting with her on tape. LOL
Finally, on Monday she was taking a nap and started to cry when she woke up. I came up to get her, and this is how I found her!
She must have been up for a while before she started crying as she had rolled over in her swing. It was so funny that after ensuring she was safe and could breathe I had to get my camera. I had only been buckling her in on one side since the clicking had been waking her up and she was immobile, but now she must be completely buckled in...too funny!This was just too cute not to post even though it's not technically a milestone. :) When David gets home from work, he takes a few minutes to cuddle with Grace first thing. She LOVES her daddy. It is so cute to see how much she adores him and how as she's getting older she is more and more attentive with him. She gives him the biggest smiles, she touches his face and it's just a matter of time before she gets ahold of his glasses. :)
