Gracie and the Apple Orchard

Yesterday we went to the doctor to get some information and make sure everything is hunky dory for our upcoming trip. We found out there's a whole slew of real food that we could be giving her...like chunks of muffin, crackers, little bits of noodles even! We are super excited to give her some new stuff to eat.

And, yes, we got the pass..so Popo can FINALLY have her try a lemon; something he's wanted to do since she was born!

AND and..she's up to 20 pounds and 27 1/2 inches!

I don't know what the deal is, but for the last week and a half, Gracie has almost been like a different kid. It's so much easier to get her to smile and she's super happy most of the time. You'd think a tooth finally broke through, but no signs of one yet. Her sleep hasn't really changed, her diet hasn't really changed...she's just flipped a switch.

And it's FANtastic. She's sitting up on her own now and can do so for a pretty long time (I haven't seen her topple in a few days now). She's still stuck in reverse in the walker, but she'll figure it out. :O)

It only seems fitting...

...that the day after Halloween we would wipe the cobwebs off of our blog.

Sooo...we had a kid almost 8 months ago. That pretty much brings us up to now.



She is sitting up really well these days and can pretty much flip herself over every which way (though she's not a fan of being on he stomach, so she doesn't do that very often). She's not crawling or curing cancer yet, but every kid develops a little differently.

Just as long as she's able to correctly grip a putter by the age of two, Derrel will be content.
