Admiring One Another

I absolutely love to hold and cuddle my baby sister. Here is a picture of us admiring each other. I just love her so very much!

Fire Truck Puzzle

Thank you Miss Kirsten for the cool fire truck floor puzzle. We are enjoying taking it apart and putting it back together again. We love that it is so BIG!

Big Milestone

On Sunday night, Gracie slept in her crib up in her room all by herself. She slept from 8pm until about 3am and then mommy brought her back down into her bassinet. Mommy was very excited about this milestone but doesn't know if she's quite ready to have Gracie upstairs yet. Even though she is a good sleeper, she is still so tiny. I think Mommy will have her back in the bassinet for a little while - at least until Mommy can get over her separation anxiety.

Some of Gracie's first smiles

Our baby sister is starting to intentionally smile when we talk to her. She is growing and changing so much. Here are some pictures that Mommy took this morning as she was smiling.

The Three Bears

Animal Planet Expo

We went to the Animal Planet Expo with our new friends Madison and Marshall. We had a great time but it sure was HOT. We got to go in the bug tent and see all kinds of spiders, hissing cockroaches and other interesting creatures. Of course, Daddy had to take us to see those things because Mommy refused. We watched some rescue dogs do fantastic tricks with frisbees and also got to go into the Discovery Channel HDTV theatre for a few minutes. It was a fun morning.

Paige's Birthday Party

Today we were able to go to our friend Paige's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. We had a blast playing all the games and riding all the rides. Oh, and the pizza and cake were pretty good too. Happy Birthday Paige!

Gracie on her quilt

At the baby shower for Mommy back in April, all of the guests made quilt blocks. Gramma Esther then put them all together and made a beautiful quilt for Baby Grace. Here is a picture of her on her special quilt.

Happy Birthday Uncle Patrick!

It's great to be 26 on 6-6-06! We love you lots.

Scrubbing the sidewalk

When we go to Gramma Esther's and Grampa Jeff's, we love to scrub the sidewalk with a big scrub brush and use the hose to rinse it off. Grampa Jeff is thrilled and so are we! It is so much fun to scrub the sidewalk. Mommy said she is going to keep these pictures to show to us when we get older so that we can remember how much "fun" we had doing some work. :)

Jumping in the lake

I love to jump into the lake and do all sorts of cannon balls and can openers. Adam still isn't quite sure about the lake since he is not able to touch the bottom. We got him to jump in with Daddy though and he had a good time. When asked if he could show us how well he could jump into the lake, he replied, "Of course I can."
