One.Month.Old.

It's hard to believe that my littlest baby doll is already

One.Month.Old.


9 pounds, 1 ounce and 21 inches long

This kid is already holding her head up pretty well, smiling at Mommy, and rolling onto her side (she's made it onto her tummy twice!).

She's the queen of spitting up and loves to soak her onesies in milk.

Charley isn't a huge fan of the binky like Grace ended up being, but she'll take it every now and then.

She still sleeps a lot. Mostly in 5-6 hour stretches and then eats every hour to make up for it. This is great at night when I only have to wake up once to feed her and also at work when she hides under my desk in her sleeper all day long.

From her 4D ultrasounds and the way she looked when she was first born, we thought she looked like Daddy all the way.

Turns out, she resembles my baby pictures even more so than Grace did!

(I'll post a comparison soon.) 

Charley loves her sister and would watch her all day if only she could stay awake that long. Grace always wants to hold her and pat her back:


It's the most precious thing ever!

I'm kind of hoping that Charley doesn't crawl or walk as fast as Grace did. I'm good with her taking her sweet time and staying a baby forever for a while.

She likes to snuggle, which I love. Grace got out of that stage way too quickly and was too independent for snuggle time.

We are doing Charley's newborn photo shoot next month at the same location where my maternity photos were taken. She's super excited!

I love being a Mommy to TWO baby girls. It's the best thing in the world. No words can describe the feeling that overwhelms me when I see Grace and Charley looking at each other or hugging. It just melts me in a whole new way. 

Time is already passing too quickly.

Stay little, baby girl.

...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...
