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! 

Hoo Hoo! I'm an Owl!

Well, I've been out of a computer for a week now and I have to say it was tragic! Ok, that may be a a little extreme, but really, what did we do before computers? We were so out of touch with everyone! And probably a lot less busy! :) We have also been spun to the other side- the other side of the computer world, that is, and purchased a MAC. I guess the commercials finally got to us or the guy at Best Buy is really great at what he does! 

Not to mention, I was sick over the weekend catching what Grace got at Mother's Day Out. She got a fever on Friday night, but was able to kick it before the night was through. I, however, woke up Sunday morning miserable. I didn't stay awake for long as a slept pretty much 'till Tuesday. The Grandma's were to the rescue! Grams (my mom) had Sunday duty, while Honey (Richard's mom) took over till Tuesday. I would not know what to do had I not had them here.  I did kill 2 birds with one stone and got caught up on my rest to say the least. 

So, here we are, back healthy, happy, and online. This pic is a Halloween pic, but I wanted to post it anyways. Let's just say it's Grace's "Fall" attire! 

Looking forward to Turkey Day soon.
