All about Gracie


This post is all about my sweet pea, who will be 3 months on Friday. Where has the time gone? 3 whole months have flown by, and they have been filled with joy thanks to our little one. She is our world, and we just love her to pieces! Here are a few of the things she is doing right now:
- She will "talk" to you- she loves to make noises and coo when you talk to her
- She will give you the biggest smiles you have ever seen!
- She is starting to like tummy time and will push her little self right up and look around, and then she will roll over!!! Amazing.
- She is starting to blow bubbles with her spit. Funny how she has no idea she is doing this, yet I think it amazing. :)
- she is the most loving little thing- she loves to lay on you and nap, and when she first wakes up, she just lays her head on your shoulder and snuggles. She also snuggles early in the morning!
-she LOVES to kick stuff. When we went to Jordan's a few weeks ago, they let me borrow Taylor's kick and crawl mat that had a big ball hanging on it that you could kick. Gracie loved it, so we got her one, and now when she plays she has to kick something. She loves it!
- She is STRONG. you really have to watch her because she will push off your chest with her arms, or she will lock her legs out so hard and push. Cant believe a 3 month old has this much strength!!
I love this child with more than I could ever imagine. She is my life, my world, and I love every minute I get to spend with her. Thank you God for giving us the gift of Gracie!!!

More Photo shoots!






FINALLY my sweet baby is feeling better! To celebrate, we had a photo shoot. what else would a good mama do? :) So, here are a few pics of G that I took today. She was a great little model.

Happy Halloween!







Well, this halloween was Gracie's first, and was a total bust. :( Sadly, Gracie got her first cold right before our Trick or Trunk at church, and we only got to go for thirty minutes because she had really started to feel awful. And by actual halloween, it was cold and she was snotty. Soooo.... we have two costumes that did not get worn other than to take a quick picture when she didnt feel great. We did, however, get some cute shots of her in her halloween sleepers :) So, for what its worth, here are Gracie's first halloween pics. Hope next year is better!!

Callaway is here!!







Anna Callaway Scott arrived on October 25, 2010 at 5:54 PM and weighed 7 lbs and was 18 inches long!! We are so excited that She, Suzanne, and Trent are doing great and are so glad to have all three babies here! What a blessing that they all got here safely and are healthy and happy! Here are a few pics from our trip to see our newest "cousin" in the hospital ;) ISNT SHE ADORABLE!!!

sister cousin time!







Since Jordan and I both have little girls, we have invoked what we like to call "sister-cousin time". We just love hanging out with Aunt Jo and cousin Taylor (and Uncle Caleb too). The first official sister cousin time was October 8-9, when Uncle Bryan and Aunt Di came to visit all the way from Texas. Jordan and I had a blast with our girls, and listening to some old jams on the radio. Fun fun! The second sister-cousin time was a couple weeks later- I went down to Jordans to help her get some much needed rest and to get her out of the house. We didnt take a single picture that trip, but we did have a great time visiting with each other and having adult conversation, which if you are a stay at home mom you know doesnt happen much during the day! :)

And She Rolls!!!

My sweet baby is on the move! She has started to like "tummy time" and doesnt just cry the whole time she is laying there. She started picking her head up, and I caught a few pictures of her pushing up with her arms, and looking around at the world from a different vantage point. She's not so sure about all that yet :)

And as we were taking these pics, My sweet baby rolled over from her stomach to her back! It was possibly the most exciting thing I have ever seen! The video that I took was too big to upload, so here is a little video I happened to catch of her in action just a few days later!

Photo Shoots










I am so glad that we invested in a camera. We have had so much fun with photo shoots around here- I am not sure that Gracie appreciates them but we are makin all kinds of memories with this camera! Here are a few shots from a recent session we did with her in our kitchen/living room ;)
