Yes i have been very slack at updating this blog but we have been just so busy enjoying our we girl.
Gracyn is in good health and growing like a mushroom.She is just about walking and can wave and can say bye bye!! "she,s so clever"!!. She is finally growing some hair but not enough to put up yet.And she is definatly a blonde. She is becoming a "daddys girl though and a bit of a cling on, protesting loudly when i leave for work and clinging onto me when i get home (i love it!!).Gracyn loves music and can dance when we ask her to and clap her hands too, she is really chuffed with herself when she does so and knows she has done well.
We recently returned from Rotorua&Taupo, our first family holiday all together.We had a great time ,the weather was great, Tegan and Gracyn had a ball and were both well behaved.i will post some photos this weekend and you will all see have much Gracyn &Tegan have grown.
We are haveing a good run, healthwise with Gracyn at the moment and long may it last.Hopefully this winter she would have built up a good immunity to help battle off the cold,s of winter.We will just have to see how it goes and take every day as it comes.
One thing for sure is that we are very lucky to have her, she is just a great wee girl and we enjoy her soo much. i will post some photos of our holiday as soon as i get a chance. Sorry to be so long between posts but time flys when your having fun.
c you

HI ALL
We have been very busy over the past month and trying to enjoy the recent good weather.Gracyn is really on the move now and i have had to build some new gates on each end of the deck to stop her from escaping.
On The 30 of Jan we had a naming ceremony (non-religious)for Gracyn. We Picked this day as it was the closest to her corrected birth day of the 2nd of feb.Wellington put on a cracker of a day with all day sun and no wind. We had 60 of our friends, family and neighbours arround to celebrate. It was a massive day and we celebrated well into the nite. The formal part of the day was officiated by our Friend and Celebrant Connie Olsen, Connie married us and also named Tegan for us at his naming ceremony so she was only to happy to help us name Gracyn. We had a great day and i managed to get through my speach without any hickups or emotion (nearly).
Today Gracyn went for her Neuro Child Developement assesment where they bring out a lot of little toys where the therapyst checks her reaction to each one. Gracyn is well advanced in this area and passing tests that 18month olds should pass. the therapyst is amazed at her progress and said it has made her day to see how far Gracyn has come.I too am very proud.
Gracyn also had another hearing test and also passed this test with flying colours, another test will be conducted in 6 months so no grometts at this stage.
We had a trip in the Dodge to the car show in trentham, Gracyn took it all in stride meeting up with one of her ex room mate Jayden, shareing a bikky or two.Another great day in Wellington.

Hi All
Happy 2010 to everyone we hope you all had a great family time and santa was nice to you.
Time sure has flown by we had a great Xmas and New Year, Gracyn just loved xmas day, she is still too young to understand but had a great time opening the presents with Tegan.Just rolling arround in the wrapping paper was fun enough for her.
Chris,Brett,Hannah,& Emma were up from Dunedin makeing it a full house at Nanna&Grandads it was great to have them here for Gracyn,s real first xmas at home.Xmas dinner was grand so was boxingday dinner,and the day after, nothing but food and beers.A great time was had by all.
Gracyn started to crawl a week before xmas she is off now and can get a real pace on when she see,s something she wants.She caught a bit of a stomach virus duning the break and refused to eat,drink or sleep making it a bit hard for us both but she is all over that now and back to her normal happy self.Gracyn can now clap her hands when we prompt her so now we have to train her for a new trick, maybe a wave bye bye next.
We had losts of visitors during the hoildays which was great as the weather was too fickle to make any real plans, two days the same would be good.
I am back to work tomorrow and looking forward to it NOT!!!!!, the time seems to have just flown by but i have had a great family time.Hopefully can get some reasonable weather soon so we can get out and do some family stuff.

Hi All
we are all good here in the Reid household. Christmas is just about upon us and its hard to believe how fast the last year has gone.This time last year we were preparing for Gracyn to be moved from Wellington Hospital to the Hutt.Gracyn is doing well and now weighs 18lbs 6oz. HUGE AYE!!!.(8.196KG IN THE NEW MONEY) She is just about crawling and nearly pulling herself up onto her feet.At he the moment commando style is th best way to get arround. Gracyn loves music and reacts with a wee dance when you sing to her.She has come so far over the past year and been in very good health, sleeping through the nite with ease and getting extremely vocal when she wants some thing. She is so much fun and we are looking forward to having our first Christmas at home with our family complete.
Tegan got a great report card from school making us both proud, only 2 more days of school to go then he is at home with Ang till next year. So roll on 2010 a better year for us all. Thanks again for everyones help during the year.We wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy NewYear, be safe, have fun, enjoy.

Hi ALL
Over the past few months we have been taking Gracyn for Hearing tests.On the innitial test the Doctor in charge said she was showing signs of deafness.This has been on the back of our minds for a while now but have not believed the outcome of previous tests. As Gracyn is alert and will react to our calls, noises from the tv, and the odd scare from her big brother we just could,nt believe she had a hearing problem.
Today Angela has just got back from another test at the hospital and good news Gracyn passed with flying colours.Reacting in the correct manor to all the tests thrown at her.Obviously we are over the moon and can only put the past test results down to her being sick at the time.
Gracyn ias extremely rolly poly and can get arround the lounge in a flash,even showing signs of getting up on her knees.She has done a few faceplants into the carpet only to turn arround with a big smile on her face as we are laughing at her.
We are really enjoying this period with Gracyn being so well. She is so easy and well behaved.Long may it last.
Her hair is slowly getting there and showing some signs of being slightly ginger but i,ll call it strawberry blonde. So all is good in the Reid household, we are gearing up for xmas for our first one with Gracyn at home, something we are all looking forward too.

We made it, It,s been a year since Gracyn entered this world.And look how far she has come.
We had a good Wedding Aniversary, we went out for dinner to a place called Rushe,s.It,s a nice restaraunt and it is also where i proposed to Angela 10years ago.So the place holds a bit of centimental value in our lives.
I had Gracyn,s birthday off and we took her into Wellington Neo Natal unit.It was an awsome vist catching up with all the nurses and doctors that took care of Gracyn during the first few months of her life.They were so happy to see how far our wee girl had come and even more impressed with how much she had grown.
Gracyn had her 1year check up last week with Dr Phill now weighing in at 7.4kg and is right on the money for her head size and body legnth which the doctor was happy with.
The weather was horrible on Gracyn,s Birthday hampering our efforts to have a barbque.We opted to get fish and chips for the people who braved the weather.We had a good evening with Gracyn being well behaved and laping up all the attention.i have posted some photos.
Angela had a good birthday with a lunch at her mothers and lots of prezzies so she enjoyed herself.Another year over and done with.One thing is for sure is that its gonna be a lot easier than the last one.
Thankyou everyone for your help over the past year, you are all awsome people who i can,t thank enough.
