Little One is Standing Now...

well, little gracie is just not satisfied with crawling. absolutely everything she can grab to pull herself up is fair game. it doesn't matter if she takes a tumble, she's grabbing on for dear life and pulling herself up. it shouldn't be too long until she tries her first steps. then watch out world. four teeth with the fifth on its way, got the crawling gig down, not on to bigger and better things!

she officially turns ten months on the 26th. she definitely has her mommy's blonde hair and blue eyes but definitely her daddy's appetite. she's a happy baby and very engaged with the world around her. she does SO well with her big brothers who she already has wrapped around her finger. she's truly a blessing from God and we're grateful every day for the gift of her life.

Halloween with the Kids

halloween was an absolute blast this year for two reasons: we had the boys on this fun day (which has yet to happen) and we had a baby we could dress up for our own personal gratification. we let the boys pick out their costumes and they were SO excited to go trick or treating with Dad. i put gracie in the baby bjorn carrier (picture a human kangaroo pouch) and susan and i were off for the evening. it was cool here in chicago land so mom and baby went home while the boys went on their candy quest. the boys had SO much candy, we had to stop halfway at a family friend's house just to get two bags to empty their halloween buckets in! great problem. we had so much fun that night and one that provided lasting memories....
