It is so hard to believe that it has been nine months since we had Gracie. We have come a really long way from 1 lb 10 3/4 oz to 13 lb 8 oz. The top picture was taken when she was a week old and the bottom was taken on Monday. You can really see the change in her size by the rattle that is in both pictures. We are amazed to see the changes in Gracie recently. She rolls around and we're working on sitting up, still a little wobbly. She can be a real chatter box at times and is developing new tickle spots each day. The sweetest sound on earth is to hear her giggle. I can't help but smile every time I hear it. We are really chowing down on food and hope that we can graduate to the next level at her check-up next week. She is still getting the RSV shots to help keep her from getting a respiratory virus this winter. So far we are doing really good, please pray this will continue. We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years.

Merry Christmas




We are getting ready for Christmas in the Ring house. We finally got the tree up this week, Gracie loves the lights. We had a good Thanksgiving with our family unfortunately Gracie didn't get to go to either family dinner. We took turns staying home with her and going to eat. She won't get to go to extended family dinners for Christmas either. It's hard but in her best interest. She got her second RSV shot last Friday and weighed 13 lb 8 oz! Me and the nurse couldn't believe it. She gained a pound and an ounce in a month. Somebody really likes eating real food. Gracie is currently fighting a head cold and a sinus infection. The doctor started her on antibiotics on Monday hoping that we caught it soon enough and the infection doesn't move in to her chest. We finally broke ground on our new house last weekend. I was hoping to be in the new house by Gracie's first birthday in March but that's just not going to happen. We just hope the house is done by summer. Please pray for good weather and a smooth process, we are really excited! Merry Christmas we hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!
