More Firsts for the Little Lady

We have been having fun with more firsts from our little lady this summer. With her being smaller I think we forget how old she is sometimes. She had been getting frustrated watching us eat so I decided it was time that she got the enjoyment of feeding herself dinner as we ate. She got a nice bowl of carrots and bananas. She ate every bit of it and enjoyed every minute of it. She was a mess. She headed straight for a bath when she was done (maybe that's why we haven't done it yet.)

Since I was little we have gone camping a lot of the summer. We still go camping with my family nearly every weekend during the summer. It has been fun to be able to take my kids where I spent a lot of my childhood and see how they enjoy it. Gracelyn's first night camping was GREAT! She only woke up once! I decided I would move there if it continued. It didn't! My dad and grandpa built a playground for us kids when we were little. Now Mr. C and Gracelyn are enjoying it. Gracelyn finally got a chance a swinging on her own and she loved it! She giggled and squealed the whole time. My dad and Mr. C walk the river a lot. One weekend they decided to put Gracelyn in with them. It was cold, but you can see how unhappy it made her...

Gracelyn also got a first chance at riding four wheelers with us. We strapped her to me and headed up Jeff's parent's property. Again, she squealed the whole time. Whenever you put Mr. C on a four wheeler he goes to sleep, always has. Not Gracelyn. She let the wind blow through her hair and thoroughly enjoyed herself. She is definitely one of us!Earlier this summer we took her swimming. We got a really long oxygen cord and swam where ever we wanted. Again, she loved it! She is so fun and smiles at just about everything our crazy life brings her way.
