Our chunky monkey!




Just a couple new pictures of our Gracie. We have started trying cereal and she seems to like it. As you can tell from the picture, it's a little messy! We found out on Thursday that we cannot give it to her when she is really hungry! She gets very angry because she's not getting it fast enough! Ah, she has such a little temper. She has her 4 month checkup on Monday, I will let you know how much she weighs and her length then! Anyone want to guess?! Last time we weighed her she was 16lbs, yes she's our chuky monkey!

I've been tagged!!!

My sister Nicole tagged me so you all get to read some interesting, or uninteresting things about me!

What I was doing 10 years ago-

I was a senoir in High School getting ready to graduate. If you read my sister Nicole's blog you will see we drove around Caro thinking we were cool and went to Subway after football games. We also went to Wal-Mart all the time! Ok, it's Caro, what else was there to do!?! We thought we were so cool! Looking back we were so not cool!

5 things on my "to do" list-

1. Stop looking at the clock! When is it going to 5:00?
2. Pick up Gracie from my grandpparents
3. Go home and figure out what's for dinner
4. Play with Gracie and attempt giving her some cereal. It will be day 3 and she does pretty good, except when she is really hungry she just gets mad because she's not getting it fast enough!
5. GO TO BED! :)

What snacks do I enjoy-

I love popcorn, cheesecake, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! Anything sweet. As far as healthy snacks I like pretty much all fruit and veggies.

5 jobs I've had-

1. Toward Healthy Development daycare
2. Thelen car dealership
3. Horse farm while living in Lansing, I loved it!
4. CoCo Tan

5. Law firm, currently working there and really like it.

What would I do if i was a billionaire!

Well that's a lot of money but I would have no problem having it! I would pay off all debt, buy a house (maybe a couple), go on vacation with Bernie and Gracie and whatever else we wanted!

5 places I have lived-

1. Millington, MI
2. Caro, MI

3. Lansing, MI
4. Bay City, MI

5 things people don't know about me-

1. Every morning as I'm walking out the door I have to check to see if I have unplugged my straighting iron even if I remember doing it.
2. I am always late for everything! I don't think I've ever been to work on time, always five minutes late. Now that I have Gracie, forget about it!
3. Bernie and I would be getting married in May if we hadn't gotten pregnant! But we would never change it.
4. I love celebrity gossip magazines!
5. I wouldn't be upset at all if I got pregnant right now. We only plan on having 2 kids so we would be done. But we do want to get married before we have another one. I think about how upset I was when I found out I was pregnant for Gracie because we had just gotten engaged and wanted to be married before we started a family. Now, I couldn't imagine my life without her.
I might be a little freaked though since she's only 4 months old!

3 bad habits-

1. I play with my hair way to much!
2. crack my knuckles
3. I am such a procrastinator

I tag Jolyn and Julie

Proud mommy and daddy!

Is it almost April or is it still January? What's the deal with the snow?! We were spoiled with a 55 degree day a couple weeks ago.

Well last week we were surprised and excited when Gracie rolled from her back to her side. Then last night after her bath she was on her stomach so I could put lotion on her back and round little bottom when she pushed herself up onto her knees and continued to roll onto her side! I couldn't beleive it. Bernie was cheering her on to keep going, I was ready to cry and tell her to stop and stay little! It is so fun to watch her learn all these new things. We think she will be sitting up soon. When she is on her back she pulls her head up. She's ready to go, go, go! She loves her teething rings and is grabbing them better everyday. My brother Engin, who is going to be 14 in July wanted to put one in the freezer last weekend. She ended up not liking the one from the freezer, it was to cold. Well later in the day she was chewing on one and Engin said, is that the one from the freezer, I told him no and he said, you know, babies like it when it's been in the freezer! It was cute, he has become the baby expert!

We had a good Easter. It was Bernie's birthday, also Cassidy's birthday, she turned 9! Already! We had a good time at Bernie's sisters with the family and Gracie enjoyed playing with her cousins, who she is going to get in all sorts of trouble with! We then went to my parents and had dinner and celebrated Bernie's birthday. It was a good day. I will post easter pictures soon!
