Laughs and Discoveries

In this first video Grace is being a little giggle box!

And in the video she is discovering a new toy - her Jumperoo. She has played in this just a few times but this is the first time with music and lights. We thought it was broken (we bought it used) but I decided to try new batteries and ta-da.. it works!

New Toys!

I got my Tupperware stuff in the mail this last week so we have been organizing our pantry. It looks really good!! We lined all the shelves and found containers for almost everything so no more loose packets of gravy mix or lemonade laying around. Grace was also very excited about the Tupperware package. There was a special toy in it for her. She just had to have this classic shape sorter!

And we bought her a new pool. The pool she has been using got a hole in the bottom. I guess we need a tarp to put under the pool to keep that from happening to the new pool. I think she likes this one better though and who would have guessed this pool was the cheapest at the BX? We put it in our living room and let her play in it!

Grace loves to PLAY!

Wonderful Weekend

We have had a wonderful weekend and have stayed pretty busy. Dustin got the weekend off (out of the field) for the 4-day which was really nice so he made it home Thursday night.

On Friday we picked up Grace's passport and CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) She can finally leave the country!! Then we took her in to the doctor for a nurse visit because her eye was looking a little red but it is just the common "goopy eye syndrome" that she has had since birth. Yeah, we probably over reacted but she has been a little congested so we thought maybe it was something more serious. We were told to keep watching her eye because there are evidently a lot of eye infections here and we don't want it to get to that. We went and got all of the paperwork we need to get her social security number and then ran a few more errands. And to cap off the day, Grace got to have bath time with her Daddy!

Saturday was a surprise baby shower that some friends had for us. Grace got some really cute outfits and several cool toys (she LOVES toys!) And we got a couple picture frames with pictures of Grace to hang in our hallway. It was very nice and a lot of fun! It was in the morning so we made it home for a late lunch and a much needed nap. Oh, and the video of Grace rolling over was taken at the shower!

Today (Sunday), we headed off to church (made it for Sunday school again!) and then went to Macaroni Grill to eat with some good friends afterwards (we should go there more often... coloring on the table is quite entertaining!!) When we got home we took Grace for a walk. She of course fell asleep in the stroller but she enjoyed the beautiful weather! After a 4 hour nap (what is that going to do to her bedtime????) she was in a very playful mood so we took some videos. We need to get better at using the cameras more often. We still have 1 more day left of the weekend!

Home from church and ready for lunch

Grace loves her toys

Playtime!

I wanted to post this for Uncle Andrew so he could see how much Grace loves the mirror he got her. She will just lay there and stare at herself and make faces or coo and smile!
