She found them! (her feet!) and she loves looking at them!

Little ballerina, so she thinks! Brooklyn now loves ballet! Ever since the Nutcracker, she has wanted to be "the ballet girl on stage" She does pretty good considering she's never had a class, but she often puts a little groove and hula into the mix!






What a Ham!!

Well Grace made 2 months today! And it's been very diffent from Brooke (the old saying no two kids are alike is true- so to all of you about to be second time moms and dads, don't think for one min that you know what to expect because it won't be the same!) Regardless of how easy or difficult your older or younger one is there IS light at the end of the tunnel AND moments like this keep all of us going!


Brooke is SOOOOOOOOOO happy, she doesn't care that Grace is giving her the "Im about to cry" face.
Finally one for the grandparents where they are both looking at me
(the hard one believe it or not is Brooke- she wants to look at Grace!)

Well as most of you know I am on maternity leave right now, but that will soon be coming to an end. I have been spending lots of time with little Grace working on the feeding and sleeping schedule. Grace is not to fond of the sleep thing and wants to be held constantly while awake, which makes it very hard to get anything done!
She is growing more by the day and starting to be more interactive with you, smiling and she has what is the begining of a laugh when she finds something funny; however it sounds more like she is choking or gasping for air!
Brooklyn is adapting well to being a big sister. She is very good with Grace and wants to help with everything "but the poopy diapers!"
The break has been nice but it's almost time to get back to my other love...PHOTOGRAPHY!
Some snapshots I have taken over the past few weeks, we of course will post more as they come along!
Yes? Grace is a very alert baby!


This is the pick me up look!

We had a field trip with Brookes school- she got to fly her fist kite and they had a fun little egg hunt for the kids.


then once we came home we had Easter Egg Dying...Brooke as always, loves to color and RE color the eggs so it always takes a while to do them all. Grace was not sure what to make of it all- however she was very impressed at her big sisters sillyness!

I love Grace's face looking at Brooke!


Easter Day- she looked like a princess



A SMILE!!! Grace smiles a lot for a little one, but it seems when I am ready to take photos she isn't!
