" I'm ready for bed Mom, no more pictures OK?"

Grace's first Halloween was a very fun one. We went to a pizza party at Giuseppes and then headed out to trick or treat. We only made it to one house though, because by that time this pumpkin was ready to go to bed. We had so much fun with our little pumpkin though. It's amazing the new amounts of joy these little creatures bring into your life! Thank you Aunty Noodle, she was adorable!!

Some Fall Pics...

I love this pic, she's squinting because

of the flash, but she looks serious!

Playing with the leaves....

Today Grace and I went to Mom to Mom. We love it! Grace gets to play with her friends and Mommy gets to learn and talk with hers! Grace did the best she's ever done there today, I was so proud! She sat in the nursery, playing with her toys and watching the other kids almost the whole time. Amazing what things make you beam with pride when you become a parent!!

Overall Fun...

Here's a little video of Grace. I didn't realize that I

had to video in horizontal format but you can see her anyhow!

7 Months Old Already!

Today Grace is seven months old. She is eating solid foods, mostly just rice cereal and vegetables. We have tried fruit a few times and with the exception of bananas and a fresh apple to gnaw on, she's not a huge fan right now. She has been sleeping better than before however, I would not say outstanding...She gets up still about twice a night. She loves to sing and loves animals. She isn't crawling yet, but she likes her belly more and can turn in circles to get her little fingers on things. As always, if she's outside or in the tub, she's happy!

Our first Hike...

We went on our first hike with Grace on Saturday. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. You can see Grace got tired at the end though, not to mention Daddy who had to carry the little bundle on his back the entire way!!

Grace loves Daddy...

Grace's Dedication...

Grace was dedicated to the Lord on September 9th. It was a lovely ceremony but a rainy day, so we did the photos later. Erica is her Godmother and Grace has two Godfather's: Uncle Jimmy and Calvin.
