My First Easter!!

We had a fairly quiet first Easter. The funnest part was probably getting dressed. We couldn't seem to decide on an outfit so we took pictures in both of our choices and emailed them for a vote! We decided on the outfit above....

We went to a small get together at my aunt and uncle's. And then a small dinner at Papa and Meme's. We can't wait till next year when Gracianna can get a little more into the Easter bunny!!

A Day at the Zoo

Gracianna has a new fascination... which provides unlimited amusement.... BALLOONS!! She is so funny with them. She'll pull them down and start batting it, then try tasting it.... and then it usually bops her in the head and she will just look bewildered for a few moments. It is so funny.

It was a gorgeous day yesterday so we decided to go to the zoo with Papa. We got all ready and really excited to see the animals. We even read our baby animals book first to get revved up for it!



Unfortunately, we were not the only one's with the brilliant idea. And by the time we started looking at animals.... well.... the picture says it all. Gracianna was sound asleep! Oh well next time!

Splish Splash

Gracianna has been so much fun in the bath lately. She just recently started being able to sit up (without slipping!) all by herself.
Her favorite bath toys are a plastic bowl and some plastic keys. She gums both of them constantly while in the tub and splashes around with them. She fishes around for the keys because she knows they're in there. (She's SO smart!)

I have a kindey infection and have been without my little peanut for two days! I can't wait to get back on my feet and am able to take care of her again!!! Also, on Thursday we went to the eye doctor ( people with neurofibromatosis often will have nodules on their irises). The Dr. said that she was in the clear so far, although they often don't show up until later anyways. He did say that she was slightly myoptic and had an astigmatism though... figures since I have terrible vision! Poor Gracie!

Also, I discovered that I had somehow chosen the option that you had to be registered to comment and have fixed the problem.... so please let me know what you think! ( Anyone can comment now).

Crazy Girl

Gracianna has started a new, kinda strange, half rolling-half tummy time position. She rolls her upper body to the side but leaves her legs straight. She refuses to actually roll though! It is pretty humurous. She just lays her little head down and to the sideand plays like that. She has also started reaching like crazy for people. And had her first real incidence of stranger anxiety this weekend. She is just more and more fun everyday.....














On a messier note...The other day she grabbed her spoon away from me and insisted upon holding it herself... which
was messy but soooo much fun for both her and myself!!
