Sleeping like a baby


I first have to mention that Jason and I got a new mattress today after many years of needing a new one (the mattress was more than 15 years old). Needless to say, we can't wait to sleep tonight. When it comes to sleeping, we are ALL getting a little more sleep these days. The last three nights Grace has been sleeping 8 hours through, skipping her first night time feeding. It has been so great! I pray that this continues.
She is now starting to roll over, hold her head up, sit up in her Bumbo, blow bubbles, enjoys playing on her play mat, and loves to smile!
Daniel and Bethany were over this past weekend and they took some amazing pictures with their awesome camera. We had a great time hanging out with them and are excited that they are a little closer to us. Enjoy some pictures.

One of my clients gave Grace a frog puppet that makes noise...she loves it!

Happy Girl

Mother's Day

When I asked Jason what we should do for Mother's Day (thinking we could invite my mom over for lunch or something), he said, "Isn't that for me to plan?". I was thinking, since when have you planned Mother's Day...not thinking correctly. Well, since I became a mom!! Totally forgot that I was going to celebrate my first Mother's Day this year.
The day was awesome. J took a feeding for me that night and he and Grace let me sleep in until 9 am. That felt so good. I was greeted by the two of them with breakfast in bed. J had cooked breakfast with G in the bjorn...it was really cute. Scrambled eggs, toast, juice and coffee. Just what the dr. ordered. I got lots of little gifts (running outfit, a new book, my favorite candy, Kenny Chesney's new CD, gum), and a big one...my new Blackberry! I love my husband. He is so extremely thoughtful and creative when it comes to buying me gifts.
Later in the afternoon we went over to my moms house for dinner. We had a great time with everyone.
