Father's Day 2010.

We had a really nice Father's Day. We gave Nate his gift on Saturday evening. It was a CD he had already picked out. We had plans to drive to Seattle on Sunday, so we gave him the CD the night before. Gracie was very helpful when it came to opening the gift. =) She loves tissue paper!

Kitty likes to help, too.
We gave him a photo card, too.
She was being very silly on Sunday morning.
Silly, silly girl. =)
Sissy and Momma, getting ready to try and take a photo of all 4 of us!
Our first photo of all 4 of us together. I am not sure why we didn't do this before!
Gracie being silly, again. The girls are wearing matching outfits, but it is difficult to see that in the photo. It is hard to get a photo of them together since they are so small.
Sissy hanging out after we got back from Seattle.

We went to Seattle to meet up with Nate's brother and his family. Nate's mom was here last week and now she is spending this week with their family. It was a long day, but the girls did really well in the car. Allie usually does great; the motion puts her to sleep. Gracie does not sleep in the car. She did really good on this trip, which was a huge blessing. When we got home, we ordered pizza for dinner and hung out. The only thing that might have made it better was some sunshine--it was cold and raining.

 Here's what we were doing last year: 2009.

I Scrapped!

I am so excited. I made a page yesterday!:   I found a sketch  online and is that ever the way to go. I was able to finish this during Gracie's naptime! How awesome is that? I love naptime. =) I loved not having to sit there and figure out where to put everything. It totally took away the pressure. I used my new goodies , which was also super fun. I love having pre-coordinated stuff to choose from. I also love that it came with these . This was the first scrapbook page I have made for/of Gracie and it felt great. It was awesome to record memories for her. I am not sure if I love the sticker in between the 2 photos, but it is a sticker and it won't come off. So, it stays. Perfection is not my game, people. I liked that the sketch had a place for paper, and helped me layer the paper, and had a place for the title and journal, but that was it. So, the rub-ons across the top and the sticker were my additions. I also changed were the journaling was supposed to be. There ...

Babywise Bootcamp.

We are engaged in a little Babywise  boot-camp at our house. Gracie's sleeping has gotten pretty bad and we have to do something. So, we are cracking down on her. It is not easy. Listening to her cry is just about the wost thing ever. I have been following the eat-play-sleep cycle from Babywise , but not much else. I have been putting her to sleep, while she listens to the vacuum cleaner or the stove fan. She is so used to napping on me that she won't sleep in her bed during the day. So, I end up holding her for nap-time so that she will actually take a nap. She does okay in her bed at night, most of the time. In the past week she has been up twice for 2-hour stretches in the middle of the night. As much as I love her, this isn't Mommy's favorite time to hang out with Gracie. It has become quite a struggle to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep. We are experiencing too many evenings of Gracie crying because she is up too late and can't fall asleep. Last nig...

Sunday.

This is a cute picture, of a cute girl, who really needs a bath. This girl hates her bath so I really have to gear up for it. Daddy said not to give her a bath while he is at work--something about Gracie needing extra emotional support... =P She will be getting a bath when Daddy gets home from work. Absolutely. What else had Gracie been up to? She is starting to recognize us. She will occasionally look up at me and smile. Other times she looks at me like "who are you again?". Yeah. She is starting to "talk" a little bit. She can get her fist up to her mouth and suck on her hand. Sometimes. She will lay on the floor on her blanket for short periods of time. She hung out in her swing for a little while this morning. She loves to be in the sling . Unfortunately, she has been fighting some tummy issues. She was getting more formula and I think it was upsetting her tummy. Big time. So, we are back to just nursing. That has helped some but she still get "the gases...
