Portraits!!

We went to Portrait Innovations in Leesburg tonight to get our family pictures done. Gracie is 9 months (almost 10) and this is the first time we got professional pictures taken! haha Oh well, I guess better late than never. I wanted to do a post and show some of the amazingly adorable pictures they got of our cutie Grace! She did soooo well!! She loves having her picture taken, she is such a ham :) Well, enjoy the pictures!









We also got some Christmas portraits done. Here is just a little preview ;-)

My Little Reindeer

These past two weeks I have been watching my neice, Adriana. I am so glad to be watching her again, but at the same time it brings some challenges. Having a 9 mth old and a 12 mth old in the same house all day can be very tiring! However, I am so lucky that I get to stay home with my little girl and have the pleasure of also watching my neice grow up! It just doesn't get better than that! I am still working on getting them on a more regular napping schedule, but they seem to be getting better. And if they get tired enough, they will eventually just conk out! Like the photo below. Gracie was in mid-crawl and just completely fell asleep on the floor haha. What cracks me up even more is that she sticks her butt up in the air!!




We finally got our Christmas tree!! This weekend we plan on decorating the house and trimming the tree. I can't wait!! I just hope Gracie can keep away from the tree for at least part of the time it's up haha. We shall see how that goes! I am so excited for this Christmas. I hope Gracie's first Christmas is enjoyable for her!! The holidays will never be the same now that we have a child. They will hold so much more meaning and emotion for me now! Below is a picture of Gracie with her reindeer headband on while we went shopping for a tree. It cracks me up!! Isn't she just the cutest?!?!?
