Sad Day

It's a sad day for music, but we promise to teach Gracie to keep dancin'

The Chase Begins

She's been perfecting her skills the past week and by golly, she's got it! It must be the new found energy from her two first teeth!

Happy Father's Day!

For Daddy's first Father's day, I surprised him by crawling to Tai! I am still quite clumsy, but I am crawling!

Friday with Sophie

We were waiting for Poppy to get to Sophie's . . .

Swimming Lessons!

I started my swimming lessons this week and despite the COLD water, it is so much fun. We splash our hands and feet, play with water rings, play on kickboards and my favorite part - the waterslide!

9 Months!

I turned 9 months old today! I had a fun time cheering my Auntie on in her triathlon and of course, eating. Please enjoy the before and after pictures. As you can see, I am really liking feeding myself.

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy

We can already tell that Gracie is going to be quite the Daddy's girl. And what the influence he is...magazines, hanging her by a too-small lifejacket, watching TV, and what's that....a Wii?!

Dancin'

Peonys

The Peonys match my fancy new bike helmet!

Any Bets?

Any bets on when Grace will be walking? She is getting pretty gutsy. . .

Willy!

My Uncle Will came for a quick visit and he built me this cool thing that goes behind my dad's bike. Sophia liked it, too. Oh, but I think the helmet is too big yet...

My First Trip to the Lake

What fun I had cuddling with Grammy and, well of course Auntie Debbie would give me a beer bottle!

My Cousin Lucy

My cousin Lucy came to visit this weekend and it was fun. It was hard to get pictures of us together as we were all over the place! But there are a few highlights below...

My first train ride to the city

At the Aquarium

Talking to Lucy

"I want some wings!"

IKEA Princess

Munchin' some supper outside


All the visiting is exausting

Girl Talk

Sophie and Grace have been seeing quite a lot of each other lately. So naturally, they have quite a lot to talk about...or whatever exactly it is that they are doing here!

The Irish

The Gibbons clan came to Chicago before and after their trip to Ireland - we had a blast with all the little girls in one room!

American Idol, Watch Out!

8 Months!

I am eight months old today! I sure like being upright these days and am very comfortably fitting into 12 month clothes already. Watch out world!

Bouncy

Springtime in Dubuque

Visiting Grammy and Poppy is always great fun - especially when they put me in my special chair and stick me in the flower beds for photo ops.

Quite a Lot to Say

As you can see, she is quite tired but with bananas and avacados all over her little face and bib - she has plenty to say!
