Michelle Tanner?

I don't know if you see it, but in this photo I see Michelle Tanner from Full House. This was Gracie's first day wearing pig tails. They lasted 20 minutes, which is 19 minutes and 59 seconds longer than any bow, headband, birthday hat or princess crown has ever lasted on Gracie's head.

Bath Time

Boy, a lot can change in a year. It's so hard for me to remember teeny, tiny Gracie. I wanted to capture one last photo of Gracie in her baby tub, as she'll soon be transitioning to the big bath tub. We've had a few trial runs in the big tub, and with the distraction of bath toys, she likes it ok. She loves her baby tub, and we love avoiding kneeling down in a small, cramped bathroom with a tub with sliding doors. We're so happy that she loves bath time!

Gracie's 1st Birthday!

We had a great time celebrating Gracie's first birthday with family. She was a little bit under the weather, but still had a great day. She enjoyed opening most of her presents. She loved her baby doll stroller, her three dogs, Mickey Mouse and even her new clothes. She wanted nothing to do with the cake both before and after her nap, but she did finally dig into it the day after her birthday. What a wonderful year!
