Squishy, Kissable, Baby-Love

By -
One month from now, Grace will be a year and a half old!

Saying hello to her reflection.

Her newest words are yah, mmmm for movie, and oh-sat for what's that. That one actually sounds pretty bad and most people think she's saying something else. She also says "huh?" to everything.

She's loves chicken noodle soup and Tyson chicken nuggets...a lot!!

Grace is also very good with her vegetables. She likes tomatoes, avocados, and asparagus to name a few.

Her canine teeth all came in, so we're now up to sixteen teeth. She's never been a bad teether, but these ones really bothered her. She'd wake up in the middle of the night and wouldn't be sure if she wanted a graham cracker, a drink of water, or just a kiss. Poor kid couldn't understand why her mouth was hurting her. Thankfully it only lasted a night or two, followed by a night with Motrin, and then she was all better.

She is 25 1/2 pounds of squishy, kissable baby-love.

She thinks it's hilarious to spill water all over everything, but then tries to hide it because she knows she's not supposed to.

Her favorite toy is the box of wipes. She likes to take them all out and clean the house with them. Needless to say, we go through a lot of wipes.

She's becoming more and more attached to her blankies and binky. I'll let her keep the blanky forever (I did), but the binky will be exiting our home starting around the new year when she's 18 months old. We'll also be starting to do more with the potty around then. She currently uses it as a step stool in the laundry room where she LOVES to help me load the clothes in and out of the washer.

She still eats the baby food pouches (at least four a day), and the Beechnut brand is her favorite. They're so awesome too because she likes to pick them out and eat them by herself. Isaac has even trained her to throw the empty wrappers away when she's done.

She's getting so big. It's been seventeen months, and I still can't believe she's mine to keep forever! If only her cheeks could stay this way...

...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...
