Grace is a little under the weather!

Grace's little cousin Toree is in town, they like to talk to each other.
Grace thinks she is such a big girl and is going to hold her own bottle, she probably figures this way nobody can take it away.
Grace has found her foot. Don't we all wish we could still reach our toes this easily.

Our little peanut is not feeling very good. We took her into the doctors today because she has been not feeling well for the last 6 days. At first we thought she was just teething. She has been fussy, wanting to chew on everything and had a little stuffy nose. Over the last several days we notice her appetite decreased, not sleeping well, and increase irritability. Which is a big change in our very happy little girl. So what we found out at the doctors is that she has a cold and fluid in her ears. What does that mean for her? Well she just has to let it run its course and then she should hopefully feel and be better. What does that mean for us? We just have to tough it out and do what we can to try to help her feel better. The doctor said that normally it takes about 7-10 days for a cold to run its course. I think tonight has been the worse for her so hopefully we are towards the end of her feeling under the weather.
On the other note she turned 5 months old today! Also we found out at the doctors office that she weighs 14 lbs 15oz. I also feel we have done pretty good so far and lucky of course that she has not been sick at all until now. We just hope she feels better soon because she has been one unhappy little girl and miserable. Also daddy and mommy would like to get a little more sleep we are definitely feeling a little deprived right now.

Giggly girl smiling all the time, she is so much fun!

"No pictures please." Our little movie star. She loves her sun glasses, she actually leaves them on. What a little ham.

Giggly girl! Grace is so silly, a lot of the time she will be playing in her activity center and start talking and caring on and just giggle and laugh. It is so cute.

New Pictures doing some new things and being cute...

4 months today!

Grace turned 4 months today and of course with that comes her well baby check up and her 4 months shots. So Grace has been sleeping most of the afternoon. Grace is growing well, she is now 13lbs 8oz. and 25 inches long. On the growth chart she is about 50th percentile. But her head is in the 79th percentile. She has a big head like her daddy! Grace is doing very well and now gets to start eating solid foods. This last weekend we bought her one of those activity centers. She likes it but is almost not tall enough for it, her little feet dangle. Things hear are going well. Still waiting for warm weather.
