Well, we actually did it! Grant and I left Grace for an entire weekend with her grandparents and we went on a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas. I have to say that leaving her was possibly the hardest thing I have ever done, but now that we are home I am so glad we did it. I cried my way to the airport and then to Orlando, but once we called home to check in and heard that Grace was doing fine it started to get much easier. This was our first cruise and we had a blast, it was just what the doctor ordered. It went something like this: have drinks, eat buffet, have drinks, see show, have drinks, eat dinner, eat buffet while having drinks, more drinks, and then room service. Seriously, our diet starts today. I am happy to say that as much as we missed her, Grace got to spend some great bonding time with her grandparents.

I went to the flower and garden show at Navy Pier, everyone said that I was the prettiest flower there!

Friday night was Mary's birthday so Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Steve came to stay with me while my mommy and daddy went out with friends. They were acting really funny when they got home, maybe they had one to many "ba-ba's."

On Thursday Mary came over to visit. She is the nanny for my buddy Leo, so he got to come too!

This is me with my mom and dad. Boy, do they sure love me a lot!

Thursday night was so much fun! My Grandma Jaymie, Grandpa Harry, and Aunt Jessie came over to play with me. I got to stay up past my bedtime and then Grandma stayed with me while Mommy and Daddy got to go out with friends.

On Wednesday night my grandpa Steve came over for dinner. We played toys until it was time for me to go to bed, it was so much fun!

Grace and Carter

On Sunday Gracie had a playdate and made some new friends. These are the babies of our friends from our childbirth class. Leo (12 weeks old), Carter (8 weeks old), and Grace (13 weeks old).

Grace loves a good bath! She takes one every night before bed.
