Go fish!

Grace loved going to the fish store this week. Want to get out of the house but not spend a lot of money? go to the fish store or a pet store, although I prefer to stay away from those these days with all the puppy mill controversy! 

Go Fish or as Grace says "go Ish!"

Living large at the Grocery Store!

Grace loves the grocery store! she helps me pick out all the fruit and veggies, well actually helps me grab the fruits and veggies. she loves riding in the cart and playing with everything. she also gets a lot of attention there! I feel like everyone at Central market is our friend!

I am proud to announce that everyone is back to normal! Grace is back to her naps and happy as a clam! she is definitely her old self again! We are all cleared out of infections. We were given an antibiotic for her ear, but we went the chiropractic route and it all cleared up. So the pink stuff is still sitting in the fridge. Grace is eating pretty independently at this point. we discovered she loves PB & J at central market yesterday and ate the whole thing! So needless to say we picked up some natural peanut butter (no sugar) and jelly and bread for her to make some this week. Hope mine are just as good as CM's!

Richard is on quite the workout binge lately! Be careful what you ask for- it just may come true....in spades! he's been known to be at the gym for 3 hrs. playing basketball with a group of guys there. I'm getting back into the workout swing myself and enjoying it. 

That's probably it for now. Everything still going well. Richard and I are looking forward to our trip to Vegas in April. I'm so ready for the weather!

Trapped at Home!

Well the Bonds have been a little sick this winter season. I think everything is starting to clear up and we should get back on this more regularly.  Grace is growing like a weed and getting more and more vocal everyday! She points at everything and says "GE!" We think it means Get! This doesn't go too well when we are at Target!!

NO walking yet! still crawling like a speeding champ. she stands well, but then drops and crawls when she wants to go. 

We are all doing better and hope to be back and "breathing" soon! 

Colds are bummers!

Bet I can make you laugh!

Happy New Year!

It was a great year in the Bond household! 

Grace Catherine Bond was born on Jan. 11th 2008 and she has lit up our year ever since! It's more surprising at how fast a year goes by. I can remember like it was yesterday the first week of her life thinking "a year is going to take forever!" 3 hour feedings and an early arrival will do that to you! But we have managed to have a wonderful year and Grace is changing every day. Right now, it's her laugh that makes us go crazy- she is such a happy vibrant little girl! I can only imagine what it's going to be like when she starts talking and walking. she can stand alone very easily now. So it's just a matter of time before she takes that first step. 

Here's looking forward to an awesome 2009! 

Testing the Waters! Grace is definitely learning her boundaries! I'm wondering if it's because she's gotten 2 bottom teeth in! Every time she goes for something questionable, I get the look like "are you going to let me have this." As for now, many changes in store. As she begins to stand firmly on her 2 feet, I can feel the chases only days away looking back at me like it's a game to her! I guess this is the beginning of the days when you begin to think "I can't wait until you grow up to have your own kids" All is well in the Bond household as Miss Sassy continues to test the waters or in this case, balance!
