Melts My Heart

My little booger is three months away from being two!


She's finally starting to string words into small sentences. For example, if she wants more cheese she says "mow tcheez" instead of just "tcheez".

When she tries sliding off of our bed, she rests on the wooden ledge of the bed posts and yells, "Da da, hupp tseez!"

My favorite of her newest words this month:

"hupp" - help

"pay" - play

"tay too" - thank you

"chawie" - Charley

When she gets sleepy she'll also say "bet" for bed to let us know that she's ready for bed.

It's so funny when we are at the dinner table and Isaac and I are talking about something. She wants to converse with us so badly that she'll just start babbling and include head nods and hand motions. We always pretend we know exactly what she said.

It melts my heart!

She absolutely loves music and dances to every song she hears. She's got the cutest little shoulder shake.

She's also really good at somersaults. (I'll try to get a video for the next blog.)

Her favorite movies are currently "Yady" or Lady and the Tramp and "Go Touie" or Ratatouille.

She's totally forgotten about the binky altogether.

We're still working on getting her to sleep in her own bed more. 

This month she went through a growth spurt (evidenced by the sudden weight gain and subsequent spike in height) AND popped in two new molars.

Grace now has eighteen (or twenty?) teeth. She won't let me check out the top molars.

She loves hugging Isaac and I around our necks and squishing her cheeks against ours. It's my new favorite thing!

She started pre-school two days a week and is doing pretty well with it.

I'll post a whole other blog on that a bit later.

She still has her three puppies that Daddy got her while we were stroller shopping. She loved them before, but she's been taking one to school with her each day for nap time and now loves to sleep with them at home as well. She calls them "putties", and they can always be found at least in the same room that Grace is in.

I say this every single day, but she's getting so big! I can't believe how much of a little person she has become.

We're starting potty training this next month.

Wish us luck!

...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...
