This Week...

...we had an ultrasound Monday, and the doc told us that everything looks good.  There was a slightly higher amount of fluid in her kidneys than he would like, but he said he'd keep an eye on it.  Of course I started googling this and was terrified after clicking on a few links.  The explanations ranged from her having to pee to crazy things like deformed kidneys!  I've decided to stay away from the internet when it comes to baby.  I'm sure if it was serious the doctor would have done/said more about it.  We will have another ultrasound on February 8th where we will meet with a pediatric cardiologist to get Grace's heart completely checked out.  With all of the defects in my family we just want to be on the safe side.  They did tell us this week that they could see all four chambers and all four valves, and she has a really strong heartbeat.  That made us feel a little more relaxed about it.

...I started reading the Sookie Stackhouse series (True Blood on HBO) and can't stop. I'm already halfway through book #2 and am sure I'll be done with it by the end of the weekend.

...it rained a little bit, which left us with this BEAUTIFUL sunset to enjoy!!



...I also got Grace's new outfits in from Baby Gap!!

Skirted Leggins and Ruffled Caterpillar Shirt,

Pear hat, tee, and socks with skirted leggings,

and the cutest of all...a ladybug outfit!
I got this one 12-18 months so she can wear it next fall after she's walking :)

Sooo cute!!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
