I can't believe it has been 5 months since since we received the biggest blessing ever. She now weighs in at 11 lbs 14 oz and 24 inches long!! she's our little string bean. Today she sat up on her own for the first time. very exciting. She rolls all over the place and loves to hold your hands so she can stand. Sitting still is not one of her favorite past times. We should be in great physical shape once she starts crawling... goodness. The child does not sit still. that's okay though, fits in perfect with our family.

Her favorite past times now are her new bouncer and speedy walker. The dogs, not so much a fan of the walker :) Not that mommy chases them with it or anything... hehehee. Last month Gracen was able to visit the beach for the first time at our annual Thanksgiving trip to Dana Point. she loved the sand. She also was able to see Santa for the first time this Christmas. Did pretty well except for puking all over the front of my sweater before the family picture. oh, the good times we are having!
