Full Moon

I worried for the longest time about Grace's daytime naps because she wouldn't sleep in her crib. But a few weeks ago, she decided she likes it there better than anywhere else. That is when she learned she likes sleeping on her tummy with her bottom in the air versus the recommended back position. She also prefers to sleep face down! How's that for making a new mom worry?!?

Grace's Photo Shoot

Grace and I surprised Steve with some pictures for his Father's Day. Here are some of our favorites that Tracy from SweetPea Photography here in Corpus captured:

The Baby Whisperer

Our nephew Jackson has a new career ahead of him - Baby Whisperer. Typically, Grace has to be rocked, bounced, or swung to sleep. She just doesn't lay down and go to sleep. That is until Jackson gets a hold of her. Jackson wanted to hold her so we laid Grace down in his lap. He patted her a few minutes and the next thing we know, Grace is sound asleep! But getting a 7 year old to sit still with a baby in his lap is impossible.

Open Wide

I guess Grace was ready for cereal. Last Saturday, I made 1 teaspoon of it and when she saw that spoon coming at her, she didn't hesitate to open her mouth. I ended up making another teaspoon then had to cut her off since we weren't sure how her system would do with it. Since then, she squeals with delight at the sight of more cereal.

Happy Father's Day!!

Exhausting Playtime

Playtime this afternoon proved to be too exhausting for Grace. She was playing on her mat and looking at herself in the mirror while I did the last post. When I went to check on her a few minutes later, this is how I found her:

Special Visitor

Grace had a special visitor last weekend. Our friend Thea came from Dallas to spend the weekend with Grace. We enjoyed showing her the sights and tastes of Corpus and even Port Aransas where we took this picture:



Sunday, we got Grace a Bumbo since she can hold her head up so well now:





Grace had her 4 month check up today and all is well. She is getting leaner these days though. 55% on the growth chart for weight and 80% for length. She had been about 80% across the board. We may introduce cereal soon and that will bring some interesting sights I'm sure.
