I'm a big girl now!

Grace had her 2 month check up this past Monday, January 19th. She got her first round of immunizations. It was so sad...she looked so happy and then when she felt the needle prick her lips pursed together, she got really red, and she held that pose for about 3 seconds...and then she screamed! She was only upset for a few minutes though. She got a Bandaid on each leg and then was pretty good for the rest of the night. The only time she was disgruntled was when we would change her and her pants would hit her Bandaids. The doctor did confirm what we had known for some time--our little girl is becoming a big girl! She was 23 inches long, had a head circumference of 40 cm and weighed 12 lbs 9.8 oz. This put her in the 75-90th percentile for all of her measurements. She's also right where she needs to be developmentally. The doctor was pleased and said Grace was "thriving" :-) Here is some proof that she's a big girl now :)

Helping Mommy make dinner in the front pack (she also loves it when I dance and she's in the front pack!)

Grace's first time taking a bath without the hammock (January 16). She's not so sure about it at first...

But then she gets comfortable and it's old news!

My fun hat finally fits!

Grace is big enough to do dinner parties with Grandma! She just hasn't figured out how not to cry when dinner is served or how to stay awake for dessert!

No matter how big Grace gets she'll always love naps with Daddy!

Grace continues to love time on her tummy and is becoming more and more enthralled with her toys.

She's able to hold her head up for longer periods of time.

Such a smiley baby!

We moved Grace's swing from cradle position to seat position...she still enjoys it!

What a sweetie! She's just too cute! And she is a growing girl indeed! Porter is only 14 lbs/12 oz as of today's doctor appointment so she may be passing him up at some point. Go Grace, Go!!ib
