Picture of the Week: Snuggle Time with Toodles


Perry snuggled my belly and took selfies on my phone.


She sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to my belly. She's been doing this for months now, and it's the sweetest.


Char took some pretty selfies on her iPad, and they popped up in my photos.


Perry dressed up with her friend Acelyn for mismatch day at school, and they looked so adorable.


We had another ultrasound for baby bro. This time they said he was weighing in at around five pounds, one ounce. We will have another growth scan before delivery, but we are only four weeks away. Since babies typically grow about half a pound a week at this stage, he should gain another two pounds or so before he's born. I've been a little nervous to deliver at thirty-seven weeks, but since he should be a decent size, it makes me feel a little better about it. I also asked about whether or not we would need to test baby's lungs for maturity or give him steroids to make them mature faster before birth. They said that thirty-seven weeks is considered full term, and we shouldn't have any issues or need to do anything beforehand. I can't believe we will have a baby in four weeks. It still doesn't seem real!



I continued my weekly monitoring, and baby looked perfect in the ultrasound and on the heart monitor.


Gracie had a scrimmage game instead of soccer practice, so we all went to watch.


Baby brother kicks Perry whenever she lays on my belly, so she gave him a little kick back.


She loves him so much already. I can't wait for her to meet him.


Char Char's game ended in a tie for the third time this season.


Gracie looked so pretty in her braids at her game.


Perry just follows them both around with her wagon on Saturdays. She read books and got to play with Brielle since she came with Grandma this weekend.



Saturday afternoon, we celebrated Ava's 2nd birthday with a party at the park. The girls had a blast playing with their friends and running amok all over the playground. Happy Birthday, Ava J!








Perry was pooped when we got home and passed out on the couch.


She woke up Sunday morning and snuggled with Toodles. We spent the rest of the day doing chores around the house and washing and hanging loads of baby clothes.


See ya next week!

...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...
