Grace is 2 Months

Two months has gone by so fast.  This little miss has gotten so big and is doing so much.  Her 2 months stats are 23.5 inches long and 12.6 pounds.  She is in the 90th percentile for both.  I can't believe how big she is but she is so stinking cute.  
She is now smiling consistently at everyone and is cooing.  I have heard her giggle a few times.  She holds her head up really well and is starting to put weight on her legs.  We all love this little girl.  




Tumbling with Samantha

Since Nadya was doing soccer, we decided to put Samantha in tumbling(she wasn't old enough to do soccer).  She has really liked being able to do something by herself.  She loves running around and doing all of the different things in the room.   She especially likes the trampoline.  I love that we can do these different things for the girls.  It keeps us busy but they really like it.





Nadya and Soccer

Nadya started playing soccer for the first time.  It has been fun watching her play.  She is not intimidated by the other kids playing and she goes right to the ball.  I am so glad she loves to stay active.

Grace's Blessing Day

We got to bless Grace today.  It was such a nice blessing and she looked so cute.  She wore the same dress that Nadya and Samantha wore for there blessing and I still absolutely love this dress.  Nadya and Samantha were so excited to have Grace blessed today.  They loved her in the dress and wanted to be next to her.  I love how much they love their little sister.  Her headband was made by my friend Terra and she did such an amazing job.  It is beautiful and I loved how it looked with her dress.  Thank you Terra. 
Earl did a great job with the blessing.  Our families weren't able to make it out for the blessing but we were lucky to have some good friends stand in the circle with Earl.  Thanks Joe, James, and Alex.  I am so grateful that we have the priesthood to be able to do this.   

Earl blessed Grace that she would have constant faith in our Heavenly Father, our Savior, and the gospel.  He told her that she was a special girl sent to a the earth at a special time.  He blessed her to feel the love of our Heavenly Father.  That she would be a good example to others and that she would have good examples for her in her life.  He blessed her that she would make the right choices so that she could be married in the temple with someone who would treat her right.  

I am so thankful that we have the priesthood on this earth and that Earl is able to bless our children.  It was a very neat day and Grace was good through the whole thing.





Nadya took this picture.  I think she did a pretty good job.
