5 Months Old!!

Grace is already 5 months old, where did the time go?? She is getting so big! She LOVES playing on her tummy and is really starting to scoot around. I am not quite sure how she does it but she can move quite a distance when people are not watching- Mommy and Daddy need to keep our eye on her at ALL times! She is starting to work on getting up on her knees, oh boy! She laughs often which brings Tory and I so much enjoyment- she thinks we are the funniest people in the world, which we love! Grace is so, so much fun!!  Some 5 month snap shots...


Loungin' in my bathtub and sucking my thumb...can't get much better than that!

Happy 5 Months to Grace!

Grace, Grace Naked Buns!  Grace is working hard to get up on her knees and move around. She is very, very determined.


Look at those cheeks!

I love play time with Grace...

Grace has started to do such a great job falling asleep on her own. After she fell asleep I snuck in and took a picture of my sweet girl sleeping soundly.


Grace's Big Day!!

Grace was baptized on Sunday, September 25th and it was such a special day!  Grace's Godfather, my brother, was able to make it for the Baptism and her Godmother, my sister, was their in spirit as she was unable to make it due to distance.  Grace wore my sister's christening gown which was also pretty special. Grace was such a happy girl throughout the ceremony and stole the show with her squeels of joy!  We had our first party for Grace at our house following her Baptism. We were blessed to have both friends and family help us celebrate this important day.

Grace all in white...
What a big girl! 

Look at my pretty dress Aunt Lisa let me have!

A little snooze before the big event...
 Drum roll please......

Grace was very, very curious about the flame on her baptismal candle!

My Parents (Mimi and Papa) were very excited about this day!

Tory's parents (Nana and Grandpa) joined us for the special day as well!

Corrie and Phil, our wonderful friends, along with their little ones, Clare and Isaac, joined the fun! It is always a challenge to photograph three children 3 years and younger...we tried!
Tory's sister, Brandie, was able to make it. She was our videographer for the occasion- thanks Brandie!

Thank you to my mom's friends, Loretta and Tim, for helping us celebrate!
 It was a wonderful day and we look forward to continuing to help Grace grow in her faith!

Toes in the Sand!

Grace made her first trip to the Beach! Tory, Grace, and I went to the beach for dinner and to watch the sunset with my parents and my brother who was visiting. Grace really liked the beach once the sun started to go down. She loved putting her feet in the sand and the ocean. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures that captured our visit to the beach...
Grace watching the sunset and some baseball with Daddy. He is training her early :)

Happy Momma, Happy Girl!



Grace's proud Mimi, Papa, and Uncle!

Grace's first experience of sand, she was pretty curious.
