One Month Old

By -
This week, we took Grace to her one month wellness check-up at Dr. Vu's office. It was very obvious to us that she is growing up way too fast. Dr. Vu told us that at 2 months old she would be able to:

  • Smile when excited

  • Hold her head up about 45 degrees during "tummy time"

  • Start making cooing noises

  • Roll onto her side
Dr. Vu was pretty impressed when we told him that she was already doing all of this stuff. Right on cue, Gracie started smiling and cooing for him. It was so adorable.

Grace now weighs 10 pounds, 2 ounces. She is 21 and 3/4 inches long. Both of these statistics are in the 75th percentile, so her doctor thinks she is going to be tall. Grace also had to get her second PKU test and her second shot. This was the first time that I had to be with her when getting stuck with a needle. I was really nervous, but Grace acted like a pro. When they started, she would let out a little scream and then suck on her binky really hard. It definitly was not as bad as I thought it would be.

Here are a few pictures of her at one month old:

This month has gone by WAYYYYY too fast! I can't believe it. It seems like we were just heading to the hospital to meet her yesterday. She has been such a blessing for us, and is the best baby ever! She sleeps all night long besides waking up to eat and then goes right back to sleep. Everyday she does something to amaze us and make us love her more and more!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Picture of the Week: The Sleepiest Kid Ever When I pick Perry up in the afternoons, we have to wait for about twenty minutes before Grace and Char get back from school. I actually kind of love it, because it gives me a chance to hang in Perry's classroom when they are doing afternoon crafts. Monday, they made barns out of chocolate graham crackers and marshmallow fluff. Perry's favorite part was eating it, and she shared with her sisters in the car as we drove home. We made salads for dinner, and she kept begging Daddy for bites. He decided it was easier to just share the whole bowl with her. Perry is definitely our best eater of the bunch and loves pretty much everything you give her, including most veggies.   She was being super silly in the bath, so I gave her a mohawk to go with her sass. While I was combing her hair, she found the tweezers on the counter, and kept calling them "teezwers". It was adorable, so I had to get a video.

Mini Adult

I'm officially in birthday planning mode. Grace is going to be TWO in just a month. She's such a mini adult: I can't even believe she used to be as small as Charley! Grace is now sleeping in her own bed all night. She falls asleep with us, but once we move her to her own bed, she stays there all night long. She's also in panties full time. She still has accidents in the middle of the night once in a while, but it's easy to wash her sheet and the waterproof mattress pad. We're officially done with diapers with this one!! Grace has also learned to roll her eyes this month. It's hilarious when I tell her she's cute and she rolls her eyes at me. Such a diva! She tells us she's ready to "go to bet" around 7:30 every night and even around 1:00 every day when she wants to take her nap (I love pre-school for this one). Grace is totally obsessed with pouches. If you don't know what they are and you have kids
