A Year in Pictures.....

I can't believe that Gracyn is already a year old!! It has FLOWN by! She has changed so much throughout the year. Here's a walk down memory lane....

One Year!!

Wow!! Gracyn is one! My little baby is growing up so quickly!! She is the most amazing gift that Drew and I have ever received! We are blessed to be her parents. I love this age....the way she looks and us loves on us...it's precious! If you ask her for a hug, she'll wrap her arms around your neck real tight and say "ahhh". Then she'll pull back and look right into your eyes and do it again. She's just the sweetest thing! She also gives open mouth kisses...beware of slobber...and blows kisses too. She's such a cuddly, lovey little girl! My other favorite thing she does is when I'm rocking her to sleep, she pats me on the back. Love it! It's so funny to see her walking/teetering all over the house. She's getting better at it and faster every day! She's growing up too fast!!! Happy 1st Birthday Gracyn Kate!! Here are her stats:
Weight: 21.7 lbs 65%
Height: 31 1/2 in. 97%

New Hiding Place

Gracyn loved to try and get between the two couches. We moved them closer the table so she couldn't get back there. She would get half way in and then cry because she was stuck. Whenever I'd hear her whimpering, I'd pull her out and distract her with something else. Well, she finally figured out how to get back there. She backs herself up and gets in there to play now. I keep finding all kinds of things stuck back in there--books, toys, the channel changer! She's such a fun mess!!!

Dinner Time!

I LOVE Spaghetti!!!This girl sure can put it away!! She gets it everywhere though...even in her ears!! Good thing she loves taking a bath! Drew has to clean the tub right after she gets out though because the water has an orange tint to it!

Hanging out at Mimi & Pop's

We went over to Mimi & Pop's to celebrate my dad's birthday. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of him with the kids and I only took a couple of pictures. I can only blame it on me being a baby hog and holding Towns the whole time. :) Cousins!

Mimi reading to the girls.

Drew's Mini-Me in Training

Gracyn LOVES being with her Daddy when he comes home from work. He lets her crawl up in his lap when he's on the computer. He made the mistake though of letting her play on the keyboard and type away......we're currently missing the "CAPS LOCK" key because someone typed "banged" a little too hard. Lesson learned....but she sure did have fun though! :)

Gracyn's First Slumber Party!

My college roommate, Kristen, and her 3 kids came to visit us. Gracyn didn't know what to think with many people in our house! Every time she woke up, she looked all around for them. Gracyn had a blast playing with Ben, Hannah, and Emily. We had Emily spend the day with us while Kristen and the older two went to Sea World. By the end of the day Gracyn was saying, "Emeh" and following her all around. SO CUTE!!

Happy Halloween!!

Our little Chick-a-Dee or Duck. We couldn't decide what it was exactly--and neither could anyone else! But, we're sure she was the cutest little bird that we've ever seen!!Gracyn had a great first Halloween! We went to Trunk or Treat at church on Friday night. There was so much for her to look at!!

Mimi & Nana brought Princess Ava up there too so she could join in on the fun. We didn't get a good shot of the girls together. It was time to eat, and then time to play--no time to waste on taking pictures!!Then on Halloween night, we went to our neighborhood block party. Gracyn & Drew still weren't feeling all that great, so we stayed close to home. Gracyn got to give out candy to a few trick or treaters, and then it was off to bed. Look out...she's coming to get you!
