...Gracie played in the car on the way to Johnny Macs for dinner.


...after we watched Elisha's tennis match and Elijah's football game, Grace played on the counter with daddy and teddy in this adorable little outfit. I think it makes her look like a little old lady!


...she enjoyed her bath in the sink. She's starting to get too big for it, so we may have to move up to the baby bath tub soon. Little chunker :)



...my mom/babysitter went out of town on Thursday so my boss/stepdad let me take Friday off of work. It was so nice to be able to wake up and spend the whole day with Grace cuddling in bed.

She giggled,

drooled,

and chewed on her hands.

...we had some friends over for dinner and Grace decided to start talking! You can't tell what she's saying just yet, but she sure does love to listen to herself gurgle!


...Saturday we went to tailgate at the UNLV vs. New Mexico football game.  Grace got all dressed up in her Rebel Red.


When we got to the field, Grace walked around for a bit checking things out.


We hung out in the shade while daddy grilled us up some hotdogs and brats for lunch!


When it started getting really hot, we took Grace's clothes off and let her enjoy the few breezes we had that day.


It was fun, but it was way too hot to stay outside. Especially when the Rebs haven't even won a game this season (that day was their first big W).  Maybe next season when Grace is able to run around and play she'll enjoy it more, and maybe UNLV will have a better season after the new coach gets all of his policies and recruits in place!

...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...
