It's a Girl!! {Gerfy Baby Gender Reveal}

By -
Have I mentioned that our best friends are having a baby this summer? We're a little excited about it. I think Isaac and I have been waiting for this forever, because we've always talked about our kids growing up together and taking Disney Cruises together. Plus, they'll be (third?) cousins, and who doesn't love adding more babies to the family?

Last Sunday, after weeks and weeks of anticipation, it was finally time to find out if Matt and Frannie's little bundle is a boy or a girl. Per usual, Carole and Suzette went all out on a pink and blue theme with way more food than there were people. They are the greatest party planners/decorators around (can you imagine this child's birthday every year?). 







None of us wanted to wait any longer to find out what we'd be holding in a few months. Everyone had different guesses. Frannie had a feeling it was a boy but wanted a girl, Matt thought it was probably a girl, and I just knew it was a girl (mainly because I keep finding the most adorable baby stuff when I'm shopping for my girls, and I need someone to buy it for). I kept seeing this picture we took of them holding Gracie together just hours after she was born, so in my head, they would be holding their own sweet, little baby girl.

Finally, what we were all waiting for...




It's a girl!! They were obviously over the moon with excitement as everyone else started screaming and crying happy tears.




I don't think anyone's excitement beat the newest Grandma's. They are so thrilled to have their own a new baby to spoil.


Suzie already knew it was a girl and had already purchased some adorable outfits for her new granddaughter.


We are all so excited to have another girl to add to our group!



The girls were excited, too. Grace and Char knew it was a girl from the beginning and picked out some pretty awesome names for them to consider including Flower Garden or Rainbow Girl.



We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging around the pool laughing and gossiping. The girls love to play with all of our friends and consider them their friends, too. I love watching them interact with the guys, and Charley had a blast splashing them all with pool water.




We couldn't be more thrilled for Matt and Frannie to experience parenthood with a baby girl to dote on. They are going to be the best parents, and we can't wait to meet her!


I sent Frannie a picture of all of the infant bows I have saved for her. Baby Gerfy has a pretty good start to her hair accessory collection already.


I've also been ordering those newborn items I was talking about. I die every time one comes in, and I love it more than the last. Normally, you wouldn't catch me touching Steelers gear, but I made an exception for them and have a Steelers bow headband on the way. This little girl is going to be so loved!




We love you guys! Congratulations, again <3

...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...
