Grace's 10 Month Pictures

A couple weeks ago (bad blogger) I took Grace in for her 10 month pictures and I'm just now getting around to posting them. Oops!

At 10 Months Grace can:

• Scoot all over the floor (she prefers that to crawling)
• Starting to crawl backwards
• Drinking out of a sippy cup
• Trying to pull up on things
• Has 8 teeth - 4 on top and 4 on bottom
• Can say "Uh-Oh", "Ma-Ma", & "Da-Da"
• Loves splashing in the bathtub with Tommy

Birthday Party at Pump It Up

Tommy and I had a busy morning/afternoon today!

First off, we headed up to Great Clips to get his hair trimmed - it was looking a little shaggy. He was still a little nervous about it, so I had to hold him in my lap. The guy doing it was good and fast and we were on our way 15 minutes after we got there.

After the hair cut, we headed over to Pump It Up for one of Tommy's classmates birthday party. I wasn't sure how Tommy would do - since he's hot and cold on bounce houses. I guess I didn't need to be that worried, since he was one of the first ones to go in the room. He had his shoes off before I even got to the room!

The parties there are split in 3 sections. You start out in one room full of bounce houses for 40 minutes, head into the next room of even bigger bounce houses and then go in the party room for pizza and cake.

Tommy and his girlfriend , Emma, pretty much hung out together the whole time. Tommy must have wanted some mommy time though, because he made me go into one of the bigger bounce houses with him (there were other parents in there too).

Wondering what kind of trouble he should get into next

Vegas Trip - 2011

Last weekend, Tom and I met his parents in Vegas for our annual trek to the city.

We ended up staying at Aria - they comped 2 Corner Suites for us and even got to take a limo to the hotel. Nice!

We pretty much ate and gambled the whole time we were there. Some of the yummy places we ate at included; Prime Steakhouse (Bellagio), Tod English Pub (Aria), The Pub (Monte Carlo) and Mon Ami Gabi (Paris). Thank goodness we did a lot of walking - hopefully that helped us burn a lot of calories.

I didn't take many pictures when we were there this time, but I did get a couple shots in the limo.

P.S. On our last night, Diana and I were trying out a new slot machine when this girl a section over hit a $23K  jackpot on a quarter machine. It was a little depressing! :(

Going For A Ride

Tommy is such a good big brother - he doesn't mind (most of the time) sharing his toys with Grace.

He actually got excited about pushing her around in his car.

Grace is Happy (and she knows it)

Grace FINALLY participated when I had my camera!

Christmas/New Year's Celebration with my parents

Last weekend, we traveled to my parents house in east Texas to celebrate Christmas and New Year's.

Saturday morning after the kids got up, we all opened our gifts. The kids got a lot of nice things (clothes, toys, money, etc.) from my parents and aunts/uncles. Tom and I also made out like bandits.

I got my Kindle (I'm a little obsessed with it - sorry Tom) and Tom got a new helicopter (my 3rd child likes toys - haha) and some tools.

 Dr. Tommy?

All Grace cared about was eating - haha!

Someone liked their gift
