Gracyn's 1st Birthday!!
Tutu!; Grandpa Mike and Gracy; Gracy playing with Dadda; Gracy and Aunt Kayli; Opening Gifts; Gracy and Uncle Drew; Gracy playing with Pap; Gracy and Uncle Adam; Gracy, Kennedy, and Dadda at the pool!; Gracy playing with Page; Birthday Cake!
We had a wonderful Birthday weekend! Friday night my Dad drove down from Gallatin to visit! When he got here I was surprised to see he brought my sister, brother, and niece! It was sooooo great to see everyone for a few days. We only spent Saturday and Sunday morning together and when they had to leave I was sad . . . (I admit I teared up a bit). We went to the pool Saturday and to the Travelers game that night.
Sunday we hung out at the apartment and celebrated Gracyn’s Birthday with pizza, presents, and cupcakes! Kennedy was a little upset that it was Gracyn's Birthday and not hers, but got over that fairly quickly when she saw the cupcakes. Lol!
Then at 4 we had Gracyn's Birthday Party at Hurricane Lake. Gracy played hard the entire time. She opened gifts, but I think she was too hot and excited to eat birthday cake (don't worry she ate some on Monday, her actual birthday). She had quite a few friends and family there to celebrate with her. Her Gigi and Poppa C, Pap and Tata, Uncles Adam, Jon, and Drew, Poppy and Branny, Meemaw and Papaw, Minna and Grandaddy, and numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. There were probably 30 people there to celebrate! She slept all day Monday and had three naps on Tuesday after her busy weekend. I think this was pretty indicative of how much fun she had over the weekend!
Gracyn went for her 1 year wellness check-up today. She was average in all growth areas (50%-weight, 47%-head circumference, and 56%-length). She had to get 4 shots. . . Yikes! It was worse than it's been in the past because she has a better memory. She was tough though, and had it together before we left.

Diaper Rash Ointment
My little Gracy is allergic to some ingredient in diaper rash ointment. I have tried all kinds. I have no idea which ingredient causes the reaction, but she breaks out badly. Anyway, after months of this Gracyn's pediatrician had me try this little mixture: hydrocortisone cream, neosporin, and vaseline. Works like a charm!

What a day!
Today i took the GRE. . . yuck! It's been years since I've taken a standardized test. I had to stare at a computer screen for 4 hours. I think I did ok. We will see. . . After the test I went running with my running group. We ran 3 miles in 100 degree weather. Talk about miserable. Although I think I'm starting to get used to this heat. Finished the evening watching the Lakers beat the Celtics in the NBA finals!! Woo-hoooo! Yay Kobe! (We love Kobe:-) All in all a very tiring, productive day. Now I'm ready for the weekend.

Cool Coasters
My mom made us some coasters (she knew we needed some). She used photos of Gracyn, myself, and Justin that she got from the blog printed off of the computer in black and white, and decopage. How cool are these? We love them (especially Gracy; she likes to carry around the coasters of herself). Although sometimes I feel a bit weird covering my little baby's face with a glass of tea. . .

I love my baby. Even when:
-she is covered in poop from head to toe. . . which she was on Thursday. Yikes!
-she throws a temper tantrum in Wal-mart. . . Sunday.
-she makes that hilarious face when she's "doing her business"
-she repeatedly tries to get into the cabinet with the pots and pans after being told not to
-she loves messing up the folded clothes when mommy is finished with laundry
-she gets mad when mommy and dadda are talking to each other instead of to her
But what can I say. . . I can't stay upset with her. How can you be mad at this face?
