Heading into week 20!

Playing with my toes!!!

Polka dot baby!!

Wears a bib all the time because she drools like crazy!!!

Gracelyn is such a happy baby! Always smiling and talking and singing!! When we come in to get her in the morning she smiles and squeals and kicks her legs... so excited!! Of course she is still growing like crazy! We finally bought the bottles that hold 9 oz because the old ones wouldn't hold more than 6. So many new things where to begin...

*Aside from rolling over she now like to scoot in a circle.
*Because she sleeps so long normally from 8:30 to 8:00a.m. she has been soaking her diapers and soling her clothes. Her back would be completely soaked... so we switched from LUVS to Huggies. Now that she is rolling over onto her tummy... her back in dry and her tummy is soaked. It seems only Pampers hold... hmm... we will try it and see if it holds... she may just be a frequent tinkler ;)
*We still think she might be teething... she has been chewing on her hands and drooling for about a month now... the Dr. said they are probably moving around... but may take a few months to actually poke through !
*We found her this morning asleep on her tummy, sucking on her two fingers... just like my little bro!
*She liked the rice cereal but she LOVES Oatmeal and we are getting ready to start carrots and sweet potatoes!!!
*She is starting to nap longer some days... and other just 15 min. cat naps :(
*She is still wearing 6-12 but for some reason the 12-18 month dresses are like shirts on her!
*She loves her feet and toes... if she is not grabbing a hold of her feet, she is sucking on her toes!!
*She is starting to realize her bows :( I hope she doesn't start pulling them off!
*I have noticed that she SINGS through her ENTIRE meal! I am worried she is going to choke... but not so far!

She amazes us everyday and we are so blessed to have our baby girl!

I had to work yesterday two jobs and David just happened to have the day off! I worked one nanny job from 10 to 4 and then another from 6 to 9. By the time I got home at 9:30 I was missing my family so much!! It felt like I had been on a business trip! I told David that I NEVER want to be a working mommy! Props to any mom that does that... you are so strong!! David also agreed that since he spend the day playing video games that he doesn't think he could be stay at home dad... (he knows I do more than just watch tv... I blog and snack and sometimes I even clean ;)

Unfortunately I have another LONG day on friday... one job from 8 to 12:30 and then heading over to another one from 1 till 4:30... putting me home at 5:30... I think it will be the last time I take on two jobs in one day !!

Well I am off to make some mexican rice for Play Group! We are doing a TACO day!!
