Gracie Finds Her Voice

Tonight at dinner, Gracie went into one of her screaming routines that have become the norm ever since she got an audience on a recent trip to Michigan. Believe it or not, this is happy screaming. We spiced it up a bit to make it kind of "scary!"

In other news, at her 6th month check-up, Gracie weighed in at 16 lbs, 4 oz (54th percentile) and was 28" long (98th percentile). A healthy and tall baby girl!

Grace's Frist Trip to Michigan!

Grace made her first plane trip to Michigan for Spring Break! On the way there we graded her a B, but on the flight home she earned and A+! We had a wonderful time visiting Nana and Papa Gaines and her Great Gramie even flew out from Missouri to see her. Also, she met her cousin Cash for the first time! We had a terrific time hanging out with some of our closest friends and their children. Grace soaked up all of the attention and I think was a little depressed on her first day home. We couldn't have had a better time and already miss Nana and Papa!!

Easter Pics... A Little Late

Grace was absolutely adorable on her first Easter in her little blue dress! We spent the day first at church (where she is gaining a reputation for singing during worship... Well, it's more like yelling!). Then, we had Easter brunch at Grandma and Grandpa Aldrich's. She's sitting up all on her own now and daily does something new and amazing!

Cwazy Gwacie

Last week I was changing Gracie's diaper on her changing table, when the following unexpected game began that we now call, "Cwazy Gwacie." The things you'll do to make them laugh!
