We met Santa!!

So Mommy, Nana and Papa took me to see Santa at Hanes' Mall in Winston-Salem on the way to get our Christmas Tree in the mountains. I loved every single minute of it. While we were waiting for Santa I even held myself up and played on the fence. I am getting so big! I always want to be standing up in the middle of the action. I am eight months old today!!

Pictures!

Ok guys, here's an update. I really want to do better, I just get soo busy. We went to Virginia last weekend, we were gonna take christmas pics, but we decided to wait a few more weeks and we still took some of gracie in one of her like 5 outfits. we also have my most favorite pic of all...in her duke outfit! She is getting so big guys. She got her first tooth on halloween. She never wants to be still...or laying down (except for naptime). She was at her Nana's this morning holding herself up with the window sill and trying to walk the lenth of it, still holding on. I bet she walks before Christmas. She is going to be into everything! Since she has her tooth, she wants nothing to do with baby food. She wants whatever you're having. She even wants to sip out of a big cup. She hasn't quite grasped the sippy cup concept yet, though. Anyway, here are some new pics. Oh please pray for my best friend Kara and her husband michael. They are starting to try for a baby. They are a great couple and they would make wonderful parents. Plus, Gracie wants a cousin...!!
Oh yeah one more thing.. Gracie had her first christmas cookie last weekend..and it got alll over her!

i apologize for the sideways pictures. i rotated them a million times like they were supposed to be, but it wouldn't upload correctly.

Seven Months Old!

My baby is going to be 7 months old in 4 days!! I just absolutely can not believe that my angelic sweet darling baby girl is growing up so fast! As usual, probably not gonna be that long of a blog, just mainly pics for Maw Maw and Paw Paw in Alabama. We sure miss them, but we get to see them in two months (CAN YOU BELIEVE CHRISTMAS IS TWO MONTHS AND FOUR DAYS AWAY?!?) So anyway, here are some new pics:

I love my husband

If anyone ever said marriage was easy, or perfect, or even remotely as such, they were lying. William and I celebrated our one year anniversary on September 30th. I can honestly say that this was one of the hardest, yet most perfect years of my life. I was so happy the day we got married. We welcomed a beautiful baby girl into our world on March 25, 2007. One week and one day later (5 days after we came home from the hospital), my life was almost forever changed when William and Dustin were in the wreck that almost left me husbandless and an only child. God decided to spare their lives for something, some work that he wanted them to do. While that was indeed a blessing, having a newborn and a husband that can't take care of himself all at once is very challenging. We did, however, make it through. I mean who can say that they and their husbands got to stay home for three months with their newborn? It was all for a reason. We got a little rocky there for a little while because we had a serious case of cabin fever. Most couples see each other an hour or so in the morning, 4 or 5 hours at night and on weekends. We saw each other every minute of every day for three months. I love him dearly, but it was very challenging. William finally got to go back to work on July 1st and we gained some normality back in our lives. We got rocky again the last month or so, but we've worked everything out and we made it through our first year. Through babies and car wrecks and cabin fever. We made it. Although, through times this year I have felt alone and unloved among other things, we prayed and worked through it and I can definitely at this very moment say that I am very happy; I feel like a very normal family. Thank you, Jesus. Anywho, here are some updated pics of my 6.5 month old princess. She's sitting up on her own now and she's been holding her own bottle for a little while now (thank goodness!!). NOW, If I can just put her down long enough, she may start to crawl.

God Bless,

Jennifer




THIS IS FOR KARA. SHE WILL UNDERSTAND:)







BY THE WAY, I SELL PAMPERED CHEF NOW

T.G.I.F.

Thank goodness it is friday!! We are slackers and we never put pics up, but we sure have some cute ones to share. Gracie is sitting up a little bit on her own *and by a litle, i mean a little. she holds herself up with her palms on the floor and she lasts about two whole minutes*. She is also pushing herslef up from her tummy using her palms instead of her elbows. She can also hold herself for a short bit *again, maybe two minutes tops* when she holds on to something. She is going to be crawling before we know it. She will be six months old in eleven days. I can't believe it's been six months since I had her!! I love her sooo much. So anyway, here are the pics. Enjoy:) Sorry I don't have more detailed blogs. Oh yeah she loves to TRY to feed herself and get really messy and then take a bath and head to bed. its her fave thing to do. so yeah anyway. on with the pics you say...im also trying to post a video as well
