Gracie is almost 6 months old!!! Time is going so fast. Gracie has finally decided she is interested in flipping over. She can flip from her back to her belly all by herself. So exciting. Hope everyone is doing well.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!

Just a quick Mother's Day Blessing to everyone. Hope everyone is having a great day!!Love the Johnson's.

Sand, sand and more sand

Our first "real" trip to the beach. Lots of fun. Lots of sand. But hey it is all worth it in the end!

Yummy prunes

Just wanted to share a few photos of Gracie and her prune war paint. Hope everyone is doing well.

A new toy from GiGi

Just a few pics of Gracie trying to figure out this new toy. She is still loving her jumperoo. And really liking this great weather we are having.

My jumperoo....

Gracie has outgrown the swing since she can't sit in it like she wants to. So, here is her newest thing.... the jumperoo. To those soon to be parents that we know, this is a must! We have just gotten it out of the box and she loves it. And that translates into we love it.

Got my toes....

Just a few pictures to show Gracie's acrobats. I hope you all are having a great weekend.

Schedules are great

We have all finally gotten a sorta regular schedule down. Gracie is always in bed by 8 p.m. this really is nice. She just wants to be put in her crib and left alone. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

Our trip to the beach

We took full advantage of the beautiful weather and took Gracie down to the beach Tuesday. It was a little cooler than we thought it would be and couldn't stay too long but we did get Gracie's feet in the sand.

Gracie's first encounter with a boy

Gracie got to meet a little baby boy this evening. Our friend Buddy brought his son EJ over this evening to visit. Gracie and EJ seemed to be interested in one another. It was pretty entertaining for me and I just wanted to share the pics with you.

First bowl of cereal

The pictures speak for themselves. Gracie has been given the go ahead for cereal. Our first adventure wasn't too bad or messy. I know they will get messy though. Enjoy.

4 months

4 months, 25 1/2 inches long and 16.3 lbs. Yep Gracie is growing like a weed. Not much going on just trying to get Gracie sitting up by herself and turning over.

It's highchair time.

As you can see we have decided to try out the highchair. Gracie seems to enjoy being in the kitchen with us while we are cooking or eating. We will go to the doctor next week for her 4 month check-up. I am pretty sure we have to get another round of shots. Wish us luck.

Lazy days...

Hello everyone. We have had the nicest weather this weekend and boy have we enjoyed it. Gracie has been outside several times this weekend and it was so nice we didn't have to have her all bundled up. Hope everyone was a lucky as us with such a perfect weekend.

Attack of the bunny slippers.....

Okay you know how people give you the cutest things while your are pregnant, then somehow in the fastlane of parenthood these cute little things get misplaced(in this case in the drawer with the multitude of clothes that are way too big at this point). Well I found the first thing that was purchased for Gracie. A cute pair of bunny slipper bought by our friend Brenda. So I decided to try them out. The pictures speak for themselves. Gracie was so focused on these things on her feet. At first she looked then she just kicked and kicked. Just had to share.

Swinging, always swinging

Here are some pics of Gracie. As you can tell she is getting good with her hands. She is getting good at grabbing stuff these days. She can kick pretty good too. Enjoy.

Visit to Myrtle Beach

Hello everyone. I just wanted to share some pictures from our trip to Myrtle
Beach to see Dave and Wanda. Wanda and I went shopping for Gracie and boy did we get alot of great deals. I think she is going to have enough clothes to get her through spring. That is if she doesn't grow too big for them. Enjoy!

Wednesday, Feb. 22

Welcome to the "swinging" life o Gracie. She is really getting good with her hands, still has issues letting objects go,but no problem grasping the. We are still waiting for her first laugh. She keeps us entertained with all her "jabbering". Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm, dry and cozy in all this weather we all are having!
