8 months old!

Yesterday wad Gracie's 8 month birthday! She's getting so big and learning so many new things. She knows where to look when we call for Tysie. She knows how to crunch Cheerios, even though she has no teeth. Gracie will repeat 'da-da' and 'ma-ma' but hasn't identified it with Ryan or I just yet. She likes to sing and dance before bath time (her fave!) and snuggles her baby bear every night before bed. She giggles all the time... and at all the right things. She has mastered waving bye-bye and hello. Sometimes she doesn't actually wave bye-bye until after the person has left the room... but she's working on it!

She is still as happy as ever and cute as can be. See for yourself!

Waffles!

Last Friday night we had breakfast for dinner and Gracie was really eager to eat Momma's food. So we let her try some waffles. She enjoyed it very much! Momma's looking forward to all the table food in Gracie's future!

Swinging on January 31st!

I think Gracie will be very surprised next winter. She's kind of getting spoiled this year!

Guess who found the Tupperware cabinet!

Oh happy day!

Gracie slept all night last night! Put herself to sleep around 8:30 (more on that later), ate again around 9:30 (before Momma went to bed), and slept until 7:00 this morning! I'm feeling great! I'll admit... I did check to make sure she was breathing at 4:30 and again at 6:00. Good news... she was! I don't know why I think it's more likely that she died of SIDS than slept through the night. Makes no sense, but I don't usually make much sense.

Bed-head!

All better!

Gracie doesn't have teeth yet, but she likes to pretend like she does!

My favorite sound

A few nights ago after dinner, this was our entertainment!  She is such a happy, giggly girl!
