New outfit

Our dear friend, Jacqueline, gave Grace her first vintage outfit...is it not the most adorable thing ever? I love dressing her up! Thank you Jacqueline.

A day at the beach!

Fun in the sun with Grace. Today we decided to head down to Huntington Beach for a little while. Grace is a little unsure of the sand, but every time we go she gets a little more used to it. Today I had her sitting in the sand and she was HAPPY!

7 months of pure Grace

So our little girl is turning 7 months old tomorrow, and I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. She brings us so much joy.
What is Grace doing?:
She has three teeth, wants to crawl (not quite there yet), so curious about what is going on around her, talks up a storm, loves to be outside, loves the pool, and is so happy. The highlight is that she now says Momma and Dadda!
Here is a spattering of pictures...

She's a morning person just like her mom & dad, although we wish she wasn't up so early!!

Funny look...

Playing in her laundry basket

Gotta love the "side eyes"

Again with the side eyes!

Grace and I were having lunch at Mother's Market and she was letting me know how much she liked her new head band...by yelling!

Our little water baby. She LOVES the pool.

Yes...she is wearing sunscreen

The three of us spent two days down in San Diego a few weekends ago. We stayed in the Gaslamp. Grace is so easy to travel with. We had tons of fun. The second day we went to Coronado because I had never been. It was so beautiful. I want to go again.
Poolside at the Hotel del Coronado. We snuck into the pool area because I needed a shady spot to feed Grace.

She has her game face on. Go Bolts! Daddy is so proud.

This was at the end of the day. We were at my brother-in-laws surprise birthday party. She was about to fall asleep in Nanny's arms.

Family picture

Playing ball with her cousin Violet. They are so cute together.

Loves being with Daddy.

We went to the Santa Ana Zoo for the first time and she lasted a little while. I think she just loved being outside. J and I had fun seeing all of the monkeys.

Fast asleepy after about 45 minutes.

She loves bathtime with Daddy.

With friends Maycie(left)and Makena Brown(right). We were at our friend, Daniel's, birthday party. Makena adores Grace. After Grace was born she would say her prayers before going to bed and would tell her mom, Nicole, "don't forget baby Gracie..." So cute.
My best buddy, Nicole and her newest little girl Mandy. They are about 4 months apart and will be best of buds.
