The Day The World Stopped . . . the Day Gracie Smiled!
So, I have sworn that my little genius came out of the womb smiling but was reassured by both pediatricians (yes, I switched once already) that what I was witnessing was gas. They said it wasn't until 5-6 weeks that she might start to show recognition of who we are and may smile in response. Well today our little one was in her swing and had enough and Jeff and I both went to go get her and she looked up at us, stopped crying, and smiled. We thought "well that is the cutest little gas bubble we ever saw" but then she did it again. We seriously just spent an hour sitting on the couch with her staring at her and grinning like idiots every time she smiled back. A mad man could have run through the house hurling Gucci and Louis Vuitton at my feet and I wouldn't have noticed! Do not worry though she still does a perfect pouty face with her lower lip quivering when she is unhappy, and the way Jeff reacts to it I am trying to trademark it for myself to use on him.
I accidentally erased the better video so we don't have huge smiles here but little ones. She was kind of over it at this point! We do have great pics though! Scroll to the bottom to stop music player to hear the video!

The Current Status
- Jeff aka Harper aka Moose, is a LT and pilot in the United States Navy and flies the F/A-18F Super Hornet (yes, he looks incredibly sexy doing it too!) Hobbies: Trying to come to terms with the fact he is having a girl and polishing his shotguns to prepare for the teenage years. - Kristen aka Kitty is a stay at home baby maker!! Ha!! Currently,creating a human life form and loves to remind Jeff of such. "No big deal, I am just creating your child" when she wants to get out of something! She is also opening a boutique called Baubles to Binkies!! Hobbies: cooking and avoiding all manual labor (cleaning, laundry etc.) -Cooper aka Comet aka Cooper-Pooper is currently acting like he pays the mortgage since he is sprawled out on the couch like he owns the place. We are trying to decide if he wants a puppy or not . . . -Raz and Mackie aka the "damn cats" as Jeff calls them are busy being antisocial but they are alive so that is a good day for a cat in our household. -Graysen Elizabeth is brewing waiting for her big debut in August. Her likes are: kicking my bladder, making mommy sick for 4 months, being wide awake to do gymnastics when it is time for mommy to sleep, and large amounts of sweets! Dislikes: airports (ha!!), too much time in between meals (she and mommy get very dramatic when they are hungry), and mushrooms.
