Just take a look at this little drool-covered spitting mess of a munchkin. Apparently she’s learned a new trick and she’s not letting go of it just yet. Meanwhile, we’re all covered in saliva.

So it’s 11:50 p.m. and this mama should really be in bed… But when I just went into Grae’s room to dream feed her, I found her crammed into one end of her crib, head in the opposite direction of how she was put down, with her little feet resting up on the bars. Unfortunately, she moved her legs just as I snapped the photo, but she had them propped up there for several minutes beforehand (okay, so I may have been watching my daughter sleep…) How is this possible? She is in her baby straightjacket, has restricted arm movement, and I haven’t heard a peep since she went to bed at 6:30 p.m. What a little munchkin. She’s even busy in her sleep.

Our gorgeous little girl.

The lovely Grandma Charlotte is here in Kuwait, and lucky for us, she’s been working hard on teaching Gracen something new… How to SPIT.

Absolutely pooped after a morning of shopping with Mama and Grandma Charlotte. :)

This fuzzy little hairdo is becoming out of control! This is how Grae woke up this morning… One side flat, one side sticking straight out of the side of her head. :)

‘What is this, Mama?’

This afternoon we headed out to play at the park while enjoying the sun. It was our lucky day. The place was deserted and we had the playground all to ourselves! As you can see, Gracen Belle wasn’t the only one having fun. :)

Gracen is at a really fun age right now… Although often times I wish I could hit a pause button and hang onto these moments for a little longer, she’s transforming from a baby into a little person who loves to interact and play, right before our eyes.

‘Look at the cool tower Mama and I built, guys.’

Today Gracen got to try a chunk of cantaloupe, and she loved it. Little did we know, she was not only sucking and gnawing on it, but she was also storing little chunks in her cheeks for later!

So these photos aren’t great, but this moment snuck up on me, and I obviously wasn’t quite ready!

We are very lucky to have been able to have Grandma Charlotte here for her birthday. We celebrated with friends, good music, some drinks, and yummy cupcakes from Crumbs.

How cute are these?

Gracen has been very close to sitting up unassisted for a while now, but tonight she was sitting steadily enough for us to move away and give her some space of her own.
