4 Months Old

Grace is 4 months old today! Tomorrow she has a doctor visit...vaccines! Poor dear. We will learn how much she has grown though...she's growing up so quickly!

California Here We Come!

We have booked our flight for California! Grace will meet her grandparents on 6/19! Yipee!

Shakin' It!

Grace and mommy were shakin' it today! Mommy was dancing and Grace was laughing it up! Don't you just love that smile?

Spring Is Here!

Springtime is in NY...at least for today! Grace, Pat, and I took a stroll today to enjoy the beautiful weather. Rain comes tomorrow I believe...so we had to get in as much sunshine as possible!

Here's a picture of Grace taken just today-"strolling" baby style!

Update

This is our little one just this morning! It was the first time she grasped the toys on her floor gym! She has quite a grip! Very strong.

Easter Basket

The Easter bunny did not forget our Gracie! Her Easter basket was full of books and clothes! She was very excited by both! She still loves to read! 

This is Gracie pooped out after the excitement of her Easter basket!

Happy Easter everyone!

Happy Easter

Gracie says, "Happy Easter everyone!"

Grace

This is a picture of Grace taken just this morning (via my cell phone). Today Grace was in fine spirits. She spent a great deal of time looking at herself in the mirror...which amused her greatly! She kept smiling and laughing at herself...and occassionally laughing at mom in the mirror, too!

While doing some "belly time," Grace rolled over onto her back. She had done this twice before when she was around 6 weeks old, but has not done it since. So it's exciting to see the "rollover" return! 

Grace is getting bigger and bigger. She is now moving out of her 0-3 month size...and is starting to fit into 3-6 months! I swear she has grown in length in the last couple days! 

All in all, Grace is doing well. Happy. Healthy. Strong. Adorable. Her next doctor's appointment is in 2 weeks, when she is 4 months. She will have her next round of vaccines...poor dear. Hopefully she will take it better this time!

Ooh! What Are Those?

Today Gracie discovered her feet! It had to be the cutest thing ever. She was sitting on Pat's lap...and she looked down and lo and behold, there they were! She wiggled her toes slowly, staring in fascination! Here she was, sitting like a perfect C-shape, doubled over to look at the cutest little piggy toes anyone has ever seen! 

Today Grace also had her first restaurant experience! Pat's friends came over and we all went to Tanoreen (our favorite Brooklyn restaurant). We hadn't been there since before Grace was born. Many of the wait staff came to say hello to little Grace. Grace remained calm and quiet for an entire 1 1/2 hour meal! Amazing considering she was in need of a feeding...and it was around her bedtime! All in all, it was a good experience! 

It's amazing to see her grow. She's just over 3 months and I can see her becoming more and more aware of her surroundings and more attentive in general. Mommy loves her baby! I am both excited and anxious to see her grow up! I love seeing her achieve each milestone, but I also know time will move too quickly for my taste! 

I love that kiddo! Please come meet her! Pictures do not do her justice!
