Where did it go?

     Remember when you were a child and time went by so slow? Well, now that I'm on the adult side of life, I'm wondering why time has to go by so fast. Today was my daughter's nine month "birthday". It feels like I just had her, and now I'm beginning to think of what to do for her first birthday party. Many people have told us that the next 18 years will go by just as fast...

     Gracie has been such an amazing addition to this family. She brings so much joy to our days. Ethan thinks that she is a great wrestling buddy. =) Daddy thinks that she is a little princess that needs a pony for her first birthday, and he would serve her baby food on a golden platter if he had one. I have never seen a tough soldier turn to a pile of mush so fast. She has him wrapped around her little pinky for sure! (She has mommy around that little pinky too though)

     Things that she is doing now: 

1. Sitting up

2. Rolling everywhere

3. Feeding herself

4. Eating table food

5. Talks none stop (baby talk of course) ;)

6. Gets into things that are off limits

     I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can think of right now! I have enjoyed every day with her, and I look forward (by God's grace) getting to spend many more days with her. I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned with our baby girl. Mommy and Daddy love you so much, Grace Lynn! =)
