What A Weekend!!!








What a fun and action-packed weekend we had! On Friday, Gray came to work with me to say goodbye to our interns and to welcome the new crew. I love bringing her. I feel so proud showing her off! Friday night was a really fun baby shower for our dear friends Dan and Lenee. The party was wonderful and their boy is surely loved already. He should be coming into the world around mid-August. We can't wait for Gray to meet her new boyfriend! Saturday was busy too. We went shopping as a family because Daddy could no longer fit in his dress pants (he has lost 35 lbs!!!!)and he needed something to wear for a wedding we were invited too. Although we had planned on leaving Gray with some friends and having our first "grown up" evening, I couldn't bear to leave her....so we brought her. It was a really fun night. Congratulations to Aimee and Tommy Delbert!!!! Their wedding was beuatiful and we had lots of fun hanging out with the family. Sunday was more relaxed and Gray and Daddy both slept until 10:00 am!!! We hung around the house and then went to Poppy and Joanie's for dinner. All in all...it was a really fun weekend!!! We can't wait for July 4th!!!

4 Months Old!!!








Wow, time is really flying! Graycen is growing up sooooo fast! She is talking up a storm and doing more and more each day. Her new thing is to pull the pacifier in and out of her mouth. She is getting pretty good and can get it in most of the time. She isn't really rolling over yet, buy loves to stand up on your legs when you are sitting down. She is also a whiz in the jumperoo. My mom is convinced that she jumps in rhythm. Maybe we have a dancer on our hands!!! She is sleeping really well and is pretty much on a schedule. She ususally wakes up between 7 and 8,eats and then naps around 10:30, eats and naps again around 2:00, and then eats and is down for the night around 7:30. Its nice that we get some time to ourselves when she is asleep, but I must admit that I sorta miss her and will find myself "peeking" in on her just to stare for a little while. Sigh :)

The Beach Baby!!!!











We took our first vacation as a family to Destin this last week. It was wonderful!!! The weather could not have been better and Graycen, as always, was easy going. My mom and sister came along with Lenny, Gray and I for a nice long weekend. Graycen loved the pool but wasn't crazy about the gulf (not ocean, right Nay!) I think she was bothered by the waves splashing her. She was a real trooper though! No problems on the long ride up and no problems with our long sun-filled days. I couldn't help but daydream about next year's trip. She will probably be old enough to make sand castles!!!!!

Cereal!!!!



Well, 2 weeks shy of when she was supposed to start, Dr. Zander gave us the okay to start her on cereal. If you could see how she chugged her bottles you would agree. Here is some video of her first taste! She is now eating like a champ!!! Hopefully we can start her with some real food this week. She has her 4 month check up this Friday! We can't wait to see what she weighs now :)
