18 Weeks Old

This little girl has officially made it to the 4 month old mark (as of last Friday)!  And go figure...
Grace is the name on the family name game today and since I can't seem to ever get through onto the Z88.3, Orlando, FL, I figured I'd brag even more than normal on here about our little Grace :) Our 4 month old is the absolute best thing that has happened to Garrett and I and has been nothing but a blessing to us!! She is beautiful, wonderful, and amazing beyond words! We thank God each and every day that we have her and for blessing us with such a sweet, happy, little angel!! I love you Grace Lynn Myers and am so thankful to be your mommy!! ♥

And guess what?!  It just so happens that right after posting my last blog, later that evening Grace decided to roll for the first time!!  YAY!!  And, my intuitions were right... she went from belly to back first.  Since then, we have only seen her go from back to belly once.  She's rolled from belly to back a few times.  We are so proud of Grace Lynn... she is constantly amazing us and putting smiles on our faces.

Saturday, our friends Monica and Justin spent the morning and early afternoon with us, and Grace and Kendall got to have another play-date.  This time they got to enjoy some quality pool time!  To make it more enjoyable for both of them (and us mommies, lol), we decided to let them float in the hot tub; we just set the temperature to a nice warm bathtub temp and relaxed a while. They loved it and it is so cool to see them be able to interact much more now since their last play-date.  I can't believe how much they both have grown and how quickly they are developing.  They love to smile at one another and just stare at each other mainly, but it is too cute!

Later that evening, we went out to eat with my family to Longhorn Steakhouse for Daddy (Papi's) birthday.  It was so yummy and definitely brought back fond memories from when Garrett proposed to me there, just 2 and a half years ago.  Happy Birthday Daddy!!

She loved being up so high...
Not used to looking over people's heads, lol

Sunday, Garrett and I visited another local church that sponsored Amanda's missions trip that she went on.  Their group performed a very powerful piece and it made quite the impact.  It was so wonderful to see the students up there testifying, in such a creative and wonderful way, the glory and love God has for us.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and was glad that we were able to make it over to watch and support them.

Later that afternoon, Garrett, Grace, and I got to spend some time with Kellie and Wicks (friends of our from Cowboys).  It was nice to have them over and just hang out on a wonderful relaxing afternoon.  All in all, it's been a wonderful week.  For those curious, Grace is doing much better.  She is almost through all her antibiotic medicine and is still in the process of getting better, but she sounds better and is sleeping a little bit better at night.  She is also making strides in her development.  Aside from the rolling, she is also getting her depth perception down very well!  She loves to reach out and grab toys, necklaces, hair, hands, and whatever else we put within her little arms reach :)  She is also interacting with us a lot more, in her talking and eye contact.  She will follow us as we move about a room or while we are doing something (cooking, cleaning, etc); she watches our every move and is quite the curious one.

Love this little peanut!  Here is what I got the pleasure of walking into when I stepped out for just a couple minutes to brush my teeth last night, lol.  Love them both to pieces!!
