Mini Adult

By -
I'm officially in birthday planning mode.

Grace is going to be TWO in just a month.

She's such a mini adult:


I can't even believe she used to be as small as Charley!

Grace is now sleeping in her own bed all night. She falls asleep with us, but once we move her to her own bed, she stays there all night long.

She's also in panties full time. She still has accidents in the middle of the night once in a while, but it's easy to wash her sheet and the waterproof mattress pad. We're officially done with diapers with this one!!

Grace has also learned to roll her eyes this month. It's hilarious when I tell her she's cute and she rolls her eyes at me. Such a diva!

She tells us she's ready to "go to bet" around 7:30 every night and even around 1:00 every day when she wants to take her nap (I love pre-school for this one).

Grace is totally obsessed with pouches. If you don't know what they are and you have kids, you're totally missing out. It's the easiest way to get her a healthy snack because you don't have to do anything. Just take the lid off and give it to her. They have tons of flavors and consists of organic fruit and yogurt. Elmo (strawberry banana) is her favorite.

She loves to watch people come and go out the window in her play house. It sits right against our front window, so whenever someone leaves she runs in there and watches them drive away. It's so cute.

Mary Poppins is easily her favorite movie. She sings "medicine go down" very well, and she and Daddy have a special dance they do with the penguins. (I'll have to sneak a video of this one!)

She eats steak, but not many other meats. I did get her to eat some chicken from Teriyaki Madness by promising ice cream when she finished her bowl.

She currently weighs twenty-seven pounds. We go to the doctor at two months for a wellness check up, so we'll see how she's doing a little better at that time.

Grace says "you" instead of "me". If she wants me to take her somewhere she says "momma tate you". If she wants Daddy to pick her up from school she says "dada pit you up".

She has turned into a parrot. This kid repeats every single thing that is said around her. If she can't pronounce some words she just mumbles nothing and says the ones she can. She even copies your facial expressions you made while you were speaking.

She's trying so hard to jump, but can't get the concept of both feet coming up at once yet. It's pretty funny to watcher her try.

Last but not least, Grace is now a BIG SISTER! She's the best at it too. She totally loves Charley and shushes her and tells her it'll be ok when she cries (which is rare). She loves to hold her hands, rub her head, and try to pick her up. Grace also lights up when she gets to hold Charley on her lap. She's so in love, and I just know that they will be best friends!

Keep your eyes open for Grace's Elmo Birthday Pool Party invitation :)

...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...
