A Little of This...A Little of That...

Over the past few weeks Gracie has really developed a wonderful personality and interests in various things. She loves interaction with people, taking bathes with mommy in the big tub, the snow, she loves watching bubbles and Baby Einstein, she enjoys her new jumperoo that daddy, bowling, and just like her daddy and Grandma K she loves sweet potatoes. Here are a few pictures of her favorite things to do at 4 months old :) Oh, how she adores the bubbles...

YUM!

The shirt says it all...

She has to have that thumb in her mouth :)

Ice Storm 2009 = Baby Boom!

At this time last year we were embarking on a terrible ice storm that left most of us without power for over a week. Joey and I stayed at my grandparent's house because they had a generator. I was so grumpy during this time. The first night the power came back on was Feb. 3rd. We went home that night. The next morning I woke up and fixed myself something to eat. I realized on my calendar it was time for me to start my monthly cycle (since me and my husband had been trying for over 19 months to have a baby I would go ahead and take a test). I took the test....went out of the room start cleaning out the refrigerator. I actually forgot about the test and went back in to take out the garbage and glanced down to see TWO PINK LINES! I almost jumped completely out of my skin. I immediately called Joey and then the doctor. I went that day to my fertility doctor to verify and to my most pleasant surprise I was infact pregnant with our first child. Joey and I were so trilled. We spent the next 9 months planning the arrival of Gracie. On September 23, 2009 she came into this world and opened our eyes to a new and exciting adventure. It was a baby boom in the hospital from the Ice Storm. The ice storm was a blessing for us....it gave us Gracie :)

She went for her 4 month check up yesterday. She weighed 12 lbs. 15 oz. and was 23.5 inches long. She had a slight popping in her hip so we go Wednesday for an ultrasound to see what is going on. We hope and pray that everything is okay and that she continues to be healthy and grow. It has been so fun watching her grow in the past year in and out of my belly! :)

Gracie is 3 Months Old!

Gracie's First Months of Life in 2009

Well 2009 has been the best year of our life. On Feb. 4th 2009, Joey and I found out that we were pregnant!! Since then our world has been filled with pure joy! She is absolutely the light of our lives...it is amazing how one little 6 lb. baby can change your whole outlook on life. We have made it through the first 3 months of her life and many "firsts". Her first smile, first illness, her Halloween, Thanksgiving and now Christmas. We are looking forward to starting the new year with our perfect little family in our new home. Here are some pictures from the past month...enjoy!

Loving our Life, Family and New Home...

Well...Joey, Gracie, and I are so blessed to have so many people in our lives to help us out. Lisa, Michelle, Grandma and Papaw have watchhed Gracie for me since I have been back to work (and not to mention when we have been trying to move). They are such a wonderful support system and I appreciate them every single day! This past weekend we started the big move. Our first night in our new home was Saturday Dec. 12th. While I was wondering about the stockings being hung on the new mantle or the Christmas tree being put up...Joey and Papaw have been working hard on installing the new dishwasher and over the range microwave. Elbert, Karen, and Ryan have been helping paint and put together new furniture. Timmy and Michelle came up last Thursday to help put together our new bedroom suite and it looks great! I am hoping to get pictures posted soon. It has been such a busy few weeks. I am looking forward to spending our first Christmas with Miss Gracie.

Merry Christmas from the Wright Family
