Two Weeks Old!

By -
Grace is already two weeks old. I can't believe it! We went to her two week doctor's appointment today, and everything is perfect. When we were in the hospital, she lost 10% of her birth weight which meant she only weighed 7lb 4oz. They were a little worried because 10% is the maximum the baby is supposed to lose. I'm convinced that all of that weight was just her poo! They said that the baby is only supposed to have one poopy diaper the first day, two the second, and so on until they get up to 5 or 6 a day. Well little miss Grace had SIX on her very first day of life. So I'm pretty sure she just pooped all of her weight off. Anyways, at her doctor appointment today she was back up to 8lb 4oz so she's definitely eating well. She seems to be changing every day and making new faces and sounds.

Here are some pictures from her second week:

She loves to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed

She makes this adorable bird face when she's hungry.
We've even decided that her nickname will be Birdie.

She loves to snuggle and always looks like she's posing

Wearing her favorite onesie from Kasie and Jeremy

She always goes right to sleep when she's swaddled

She obviously slept a lot this week

Her umbilical cord fell off and she was finally able to have a real bath

She loved it!

She snuggled with daddy a lot

We got the first picture of her smiling

Grace has had a pretty laid back week, but things are about to get crazy because we will have family in town for the next few weeks! We are so excited for them all to meet her.

...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...
