The Other Side of Grace

Since Grace is now 3 months old and sleeping 10+ hours at night, I started working on her taking long naps in her crib. During the first couple of months, she slept in her carseat on the go, in her swing, in our arms, etc. But she now needs to take good, long, uninterrupted naps in her crib. But sleep training isn't so easy. Last week, after letting her "cry it out" for 15 minutes, I finally gave in and rocked her to sleep. We both rocked and cried. I'm starting fresh this week and as you can see, it's not going so well.



Before I could get the video uploaded, I gave in and ran into her room as she continued to scream at the top of her lungs. It just took a few minutes of rocking her and she was sound asleep. We'll work on her self soothing techniques.

She's a Girl!

People often assume Grace is a boy. I guess it's because she has the blue elephant hanging from her carseat. So I've taken care of any doubt by turning her into a bowhead.





And Grace is all ready for bathing suit season.

Friends At Last!

Ginger has finally accepted Grace into our family. As a result, she loves to kiss all over her when she's on the floor playing. So far Grace doesn't seem to mind and loves her feet being licked.

Party Time!!

Grace went to a birthday party for a couple of her friends today.

Here she is hanging out before we left:




But once we got there, she decided she'd rather just sleep:

2 Months Old!!

Grace is 2 months old now and growing beautifully. She's waking up once a night now but is still battling reflux.

She went on her first road trip this weekend to San Antonio and did great!!
