breaking news . . .

Gracie is taking a nap . . . in her CRIB! That is big news around the DeHoog house. I even had to call Tom and email my Mom to let them in on the news. She's sleeping on her stomach . . . if I lay her down on her back she wiggles herself awake in about a minute and a half . . . I know you are not supposed to lay babies on their bellies, but she definitley has enough head control now to lift her head up if and when she needs to. She hasn't been in the swing since Sunday . . . she's too big for it now (and after the falling out episode on Sunday I'm scared to put her in it . . . oh yeah, did I mention my baby fell out of the swing?) and it really wasn't fair of me to get her so addicted to sleeping in it because her babysitters' don't have the luxury of putting her in one or holding her while she sleeps. I had to wash the crib sheet yesterday . . . it was a little dusty after 4 months of non-use. So . . . I'm committed to having her take all her naps in the crib and she'll start out the night in the pack and play by our bed. Where she is by morning . . . well, that's another story. I just can't quite give her up for the whole night yet. :)
Couldn't resist a few pictures of her chubby little legs
Tonight is our only night home this week. As my Uncle Dennis would say, it's a "hair-straight-back" kind of week. Tomorrow night we're meeting all the Larson's at Dairy Queen for dinner . . . the first Wednesday of every month, everyone meets up there for dinner. Isn't that cool? Thursday night, Mom, Jen and I are making our cakes/cupcakes at Mom's for Maria's wedding, Friday night is the wedding and Saturday night is Tom's Grandma's 80th birthday party. Luckily we don't have anything going on during the afternoon's this week . . . so there is always hope of sneaking in a little nap.

And . . . tomorrow is October? What's that all about? Did I blink too long . . . because I thought it was still August.
