Gracie's walking behind her push-thingee here. (It's a movie... ~136K or so...)

1st Thanksgiving!!

Gracie likes sweet potatoes!!


Gracie also likes drumsticks!!

EEG Results....

Everything's NORMAL!

EEG day...

Today we went for Gracie's EEG. First, she was sedated, then her head was measured:


Next, leads were placed on her head:



After all the leads were on, she went through 20 mins or so of recording her brain activity:

Here's Gracie afterward!!


We won't find out for a while what the results are, but we have faith that whatever the results are, God is in control...

Bath Time

You MUUSTT listen to MEEE!

Again, Gracie's attempting to put the whammy on someone:

HERE I AM!!!

Gracie's become an expert at Hide 'N Seek....

Anna G's style

This posting is a pictorial describing Gracie's "meet and greet" style....

Step 1: The 'introduction step'- Notice below, the casual meeting between the Baby Anna Grace, and the Dog (Fla)Mingo. Little Miss is acting like she's too 'high strung' for this kind of meeting. She exhibits this attitude with what I call the "I'm looking away right now, because I'm not caring what you say" behavior. This seems to run in the family through the women of the house. :-)


Step 2: The 'feigned curiosity' step - Notice how when Little Missy sees something of Mingo's, she asks casually about it. In this case, the common dog biscuit is the item of interest. Mingo then readily explains to her what it's all about, how good it tastes, and various other fun facts about dog biscuits. (Also notice the advise and counsel Gracie gets from other women of the household....see step 1)


Step 3: The 'bait and switch' step - Yes, sadly, Mingo has now fallen victim to this crucial step in the 'meet and greet'. Notice, Gracie's now switched from asking about the biscuit to Mingo reciting the attributes of said biscuit, to Gracie feeling the necessity to 'experience' the biscuit. Yes, duped Mingo looks on in disbelief at this sad turn of events.


Step 4: The 'true color' step - This is when the perpetrator reveals her true colors to Dog Mingo. Baby Grace is now full bore going to town on the illicit wares. Poor Mingo is left to despairing cries of 'BUT IT'S NOT FAIR!'.

Blowin' the tummy!

Tanner having good times with Gracie:


Click on the picture to download the movie file of this...It's hilarious!! (It's 465K, so if you're on dialup...you'll be waiting)

WOOF WOOF!!

Gracie just found out that we were having Popeye's chicken...

Kylie and Gracie...

Movie time..

Here's a movie of her chewing fun.

Listen very closely towards the end, you'll hear a sound like the grinding of teeth. That's her four choppers chomping on our end table....

Doing some reminiscing...

I pulled this out of the December 2004 archive.



If you have a minute, go back in time to some early pictures of Gracie...It's amazing how much she's grown.....how much we all have..in more ways than one :-O God has definitely blessed us with this beautiful baby and she will always have a special place in our hearts, as well as her faithful fans...

Two Doctor Visits

1. We went to Dr. Pace to have her ears re-checked after finishing the antibiotics and the left one is clear but the right one is infected. So, after getting Synagis and Flu shots, we started yet another antibiotic for the ears. This time we are trying Omnicef. Be in prayer that this will clear up all the infection and that we won't be faced with surgery for tubes. Her weight is now 17 lbs 7 oz.

2. We met with a pediatric Neurologist concerning her seizures. He is not convinced that they were Febrile Seizures and has scheduled her for an EEG to be done the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. We tried to schedule it around her afternoon nap time, but if she won't go to sleep on her own she will have to be sedated for the hour long procedure. Be in prayer that if there is something we need to follow up on, this test will reveal it. We are really hesitant to put her on anti-convulsants at this point.

Standing up big girl!!

She loves her Daddy...
