Photo Shoot

Well at 13 1/2 months old, we finally got Gracie's 1 year pictures done! I think they turned out super cute. Here are a few of our favorites!

Such a sweetheart!

The photographer had these purple wings.

We put them on for a few shots. Bryant HATES them

but I think the pictures still turned out darling!

Kisses from daddy

We LOVE this picture of Gracie! This is just one

of her many faces that show her cute personality!

I am so sorry you all have to see this picture of me!

I don't know what the deal was but all the pictures

I was in because my face looks super chubby. I know I am

really critical of myself, but my face does not normally look

quite this fat! It's a cute picture of Gracie though!

One of my favorite pictures for sure!

It always amazes me to think what a beautiful little girl we have! She is so sweet and loving and just so much fun! I wonder how we ever lived without her!

We Have a Breakthrough!

So, I know I haven't posted in a while, but nothing too monumental has happened in the past month...until now! Gracie is now officially 14 months old, but she still only has her bottom two teeth. She is a VERY late teether, she didn't get her first tooth until she was 9 months and her second at 10 months. In July I was sure her top two teeth were going to break through. Her gums were swollen, you could see the shape of the teeth, she was fussy, I mean she had all the classic signs of teething. But after about 5 days, everything just stopped and she still had no new teeth. Then again the beginning of September she started again. It was horrible. She would hold her mouth, and it was obvious she was in pain. I did what I could for her, but until the teeth break though there is no real relief. I could see the teeth coming down, I was sure this would be the big breakthrough. But again, after about a week everything stopped. This time you could tell the teeth were right at the edge of her gums, but they were not broken through and they were just sitting there. I took her to the dentist because I was sure she was NEVER going to get these teeth in on her own, but the dentist wasn't concerned.

Well today all of the sudden I noticed one of her top teeth has finally broken through!!! FINALLY, my baby has teeth! I know for most of you, baby teeth isn't that big of a deal, but for me this is a very monumental occasion! She won't let me look in her mouth, so if I can get a good shot of her new tooth, I will be sure to post it!
