Grandma Saves the Day!

Nothing like a grandma to give parents a sweet time out on a date!

Mom came for a visit this weekend (she's still here holding Gracelynn...hence this blog is a lot easier!) and Heath and I have been able to truly relax for a few hours at a time. We love our girl - but there's really no relief from the cares of "parenting"...so having Grandma watch her long enough for us to enjoy a few buffalo wings and a conversation unbroken by hungry cries - well - let's just say it was a sweet afternoon. :)

We have tons of new pictures and videos for you! Gracelynn is just starting to smile on purpose when we stroke her cheek and "baadodedoda" at her. ;) And yes, it sounds just like it looks. Mom is having a blast holding her, but can't believe how much she's grown! She's truly a "mover and a shaker". She hates being anywhere outside of the action. Burping is about the only time she'll let us put her face on our shoulders (usually because she's focused on filling her diaper) and then she just bounces her head back and forth and wiggles!

She's also starting to "coo" in the mornings during her sponge baths...which Mom was able to enjoy giving for the first time. Just now, she bonked herself on the nose with her fist and Mom is between laughing and bouncing her. :D

(I'm not sure why our videos have been unavailable at times...but I'll try and figure that out. Meanwhile...enjoy!)

"Ahhh!"

We hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we do taking them. :)
Have a great start to your week!
