4 month old Grace

So our sweet Grace is 4 months old.  She is such a good baby.  She loves to smile, talk, and sit up.  She adores her sister and giggles every time they do something silly.  We are still working on her sleeping at night, but other than that, we couldn't ask for a better baby.  She is such a blessing to our family.  

Grace is now grabbing for things and loves to hold them.  As soon as she grabs things they go straight to her mouth.  She is always kicking her feet and doesn't really like to sit still.  I have had so much fun watching her grow and learn new things.  She has even started to blow raspberries and drools all over the place.  

I took her to the doctor for her 4 month well-check and she is a very healthy girl.  She is 15.8 pounds, 90th percentile.  25.75 inches, 90th percentile.  The doctor said she looked great and I couldn't agree more. 

Grace loves sitting in her high chair and watching me get dinner ready.  She also loves sitting with us while we are eating our meals.  I'm so glad we have it.


I love this smile of hers.  It is probably my favorite.

Halloween Night

Halloween night we took the girls trick or treating around our friends neighborhood.  The girls got way more candy than any of us needs but it was fun.  
 Nadya, Hannah, George, Gerrit, Ollie, and Samantha.

Grace's buddy, Lucy.  She and Grace were born 10 days apart.

Halloween Craziness

Halloween this year was a lot of fun.  We had activities going on all weekend.  We did a trunk or treat with the SAA and had fun visiting with friends there.  Then we went to the YMCA carnival where the girls got to play games and get treats.  That night we went to a party with friends and enjoyed our time there.  We ate good food, talked with friends, and played games.
The girls picked out their costumes this year.  Nadya wanted to be a vampire queen, Samantha wanted to be Snow White, and I picked out a lamb costume for Grace(which barely fit her).  They looked very cute and they had fun dressing up.

Nadya and Samantha ready to go.

 Nadya really wanted to hand out candy
 Samantha got a lady bug on her face at the YMCA
 Nadya was so excited to get her face painted like this for her costume
 Even though it didn't fit great, Grace still looked cute in this costume
