Lily Grace got her first tooth today! This morning I didn't notice one and then this afternoon at MDO, I saw something shining in her mouth and there it was a new, very little, tooth. It has just broke the skin on the bottom gum. And it sure is sharp! She loves to chew on my shoulder, cheek or whatever she can get a hold of. That is going to have to stop because now it will hurt!! I couldn't ever get a picture of it though, but maybe I will have one soon. Just thought I would share another milestone Lily Grace has met.

She wouldn't let go of that passy!

Here is where she got mad at me for snatching a leaf away from her mouth.

Lily Grace is sick again but this time it is the stomach virus. She has been so good even though you can tell she doesn't feel very well. Just say a little prayer for our sick baby that she will get well soon!

Friday night we went to Berry to watch Uncle Skyler play basketball. They won by a lot! Lily Grace really enjoyed herself. She was so cute because every time the crowd would cheer and clap, so would she! She is getting good at mocking people and clapping is her favorite thing! Uncle Skyler, we had so much fun watching you and you did great! We can't wait to watch you again and we love you tons!!!

Lily Grace may not be crawling yet but she can stand up great. She loves to stand up and now she thinks she is really big standing by her table all by herself!

Grandmommy got us a web cam so that we can see each other more now. We are so excited because we miss them all so much. So Monday night, Grandmommy, Pop, Aunt Kirsten, and Uncle Skyler all crowded around the computer screen and talked to Lily Grace. Lily Grace absolutely loved it! She kept getting so excited watching and listening to them. This may be a nightly thing. Thank you so much Grandmommy, We love you!!

Sunday night after church, we went out to eat with 'Uncle' Andy and 'Aunt' BeckBeck at Red Lobster. I haven't been there in a year or so and now I have eaten there twice in one week! Well, after Lily Grace had already eaten all her own food (a big baby food meat and fruit), Andy wanted to feed her more! He fed her baked potato and let her dig her hands in the potato and feed herself. It was a mess. That's not all he fed her though. He gave her too much sweet tea! Every now and then, I will let her have a sip of mine when we eat, but not as much as he let her have. She was so wired, she didn't go to sleep until midnight! Thanks 'Uncle' Andy!! We do love 'Uncle' Andy and 'Aunt' BeckBeck tons though!

Christmas Morning was so much fun at our house. Lily Grace woke up around 8 o'clock ready to open presents. She gave us a little gift by sleeping late! It was a wonderful experience watching our child open up presents on her first Christmas. We will never forget that morning!

Christmas was so much fun!

For Christmas Eve evening, we spent it with Pop's side of the family at Uncle Steve and Aunt Cheryl's house. It was great to see everyone and have some fun playing a "dirty" little game - Dirty Santa.

Isn't her hat too cute?

Look how pretty her doll is! Lily Grace wanted her out if the box.

She really loved Lily from Aunt Kirsten. She has a smaller one that we have to carry everywhere, now she has a really big one.

Christmas wears Pop out!!!
