40 Weeks Old

Can't believe this little bit is already 40 weeks old.  Thursday (1/24/13) evening, she will have been out longer than she was in... seems like her being here has gone much faster than the pregnancy!!  Maybe it is just because of the anxiousness and anticipation of her arrival that made it feel longer :)  This nine-month old makes Garrett and I happier than no other!

At her 9-month appointment last week, she came in at 17lbs 4oz and 27.5" long.  This puts her in the 25th% for weight and 50th% for height, which the doctor said is fine.  He'd much rather her be on the smaller side than the overweight side... not to mention, Garrett and I have never been large.  Needless to say, all looked great, no ear infections, lungs sound much better and more clear... she is looking good and doing well!

This last Friday Grace actually spent her first night away from home and away from mommy and daddy.  Nana and Papi watched her while Garrett and I took a much needed evening to ourselves.  Thanks mama and daddy!!  I was nervous about spending a night away from her, but she did great and surprisingly we did great also, lol.  Also this weekend, we had a girls day (Nana, Grace, and I) while Garrett had a guys day with a couple buddies, shooting guns.  Us gals went to get massages... Grace was so well-behaved for us while my mom and I took our turns and then afterwards we went to pick up my mom and dad's new pup, Monkey.  He is adorable!!  Unfortunately I do not have any pictures just yet.  Then Sunday, we had a great morning at church, followed by a wonderful lunch with our minister.  Then we headed off to a great surprise party for our friend Tawnya.  It was so great to spend some time with their  family and see their little one Jackson interacting with Grace.  The last time we saw him, he was just a few weeks old and now he is 6.5 months old.  Monday, we took the holiday off to run some much needed errands and to also catch lunch and Grandma and Grandpa Myers.  And Tuesday the 22nd actually marked the 2 year anniversary of us getting our sweet baby Cambrie.

She has been so much a part of our family and I can't believe she is already two years old.  She is quite the protective pig with such a big personality.  Grace loves her though (see pictures below).  This week has just flown by because it's been packed with fun.

"I gotya!" yeah, she pulled her boot off, lol

Going for a ride!

Here's Grace showing how she can walk like a big girl behind her tractor.  She is getting much better now at pushing it by herself... was harder at first on the thick carpet there.  As you can see she gets lazy a little ways through and tries to push it on her knees before going to play basketball, hehe.  She has quite the personality... love her!!
