10 months.

It is amazing that Gracie is 10 months old! Every month it gets more difficult to get her to sit still for a few photos. It was a lot easier when she laid/sat

 where I put her! IMG_3070 IMG_3065 

I had to let her play with the cell phone just to get her to stay halfway still! IMG_3079

I am not sure who is calling her, but she looks intrigued!

Gracie is doing new things all the time. At 10 months, she is crawling like crazy and pulling up on the furniture. She cruises around on the furniture but doesn’t have any idea how to take steps on her own, which is just fine! She loves to spin in a circle when she is sitting on the floor playing with her toys. We aren’t sure where that trick came from, but it is very cute. She loves her bath but still hates having her hair washed. She has no time for getting dressed or diaper changes, regardless of the time of day. She has finally started waving and will usually wave if you say “bye-bye!”. She is inconsistent with playing high-5, put will oblige us from time to time. She still LOVES her food and is obsessed with Cheerios and puffies. She is usually pretty calm, but gets quite demanding when it comes to food. You cannot eat around her and not share. She loves bread and potatoes—mashed potatoes seem to be her favorite. She still loves music and has stared to “dance” when she hears music—she puts her hand up in the air and waves it awkwardly. She seems to have her mother’s dance moves, and it is adorable. She has recently developed an attachment to a small baby doll. She cannot say baby, but says “bu-bu” when she sees it. If we ask her where Baby is, she will go look for her. She also loves the Little People—she has a few that wear hats and those are her favorite. She will often carry Baby in one had and a Little Person in the other. She hasn’t quite figured out that she needs to hold on to something when she stands up so she often falls over due to her refusal to let go of a toy.

She is a very sweet girl and it is amazing that she will be 1 year old in 2 months!

Babywise Bootcamp.

We are engaged in a little Babywise  boot-camp at our house. Gracie's sleeping has gotten pretty bad and we have to do something. So, we are cracking down on her. It is not easy. Listening to her cry is just about the wost thing ever. I have been following the eat-play-sleep cycle from Babywise , but not much else. I have been putting her to sleep, while she listens to the vacuum cleaner or the stove fan. She is so used to napping on me that she won't sleep in her bed during the day. So, I end up holding her for nap-time so that she will actually take a nap. She does okay in her bed at night, most of the time. In the past week she has been up twice for 2-hour stretches in the middle of the night. As much as I love her, this isn't Mommy's favorite time to hang out with Gracie. It has become quite a struggle to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep. We are experiencing too many evenings of Gracie crying because she is up too late and can't fall asleep. Last nig...

I Scrapped!

I am so excited. I made a page yesterday!:   I found a sketch  online and is that ever the way to go. I was able to finish this during Gracie's naptime! How awesome is that? I love naptime. =) I loved not having to sit there and figure out where to put everything. It totally took away the pressure. I used my new goodies , which was also super fun. I love having pre-coordinated stuff to choose from. I also love that it came with these . This was the first scrapbook page I have made for/of Gracie and it felt great. It was awesome to record memories for her. I am not sure if I love the sticker in between the 2 photos, but it is a sticker and it won't come off. So, it stays. Perfection is not my game, people. I liked that the sketch had a place for paper, and helped me layer the paper, and had a place for the title and journal, but that was it. So, the rub-ons across the top and the sticker were my additions. I also changed were the journaling was supposed to be. There ...

5 Months.

Our sweet Allie-Girl is 5 months! Wow. She is super sweet and super mellow. She is finally sleeping a little better. She is only getting up once at night most of the time. She can easily roll from her back to her tummy. She gets stuck on her tummy so hopefully she will quickly learn how to roll back onto her back. Since she can roll over, she likes to roll to her tummy and sleep that way. She likes rice cereal but is quite a messy eater. She weighs 17 pounds 14.2 ounces (95-97 th %). She is 26.22 inches long (90%). Her head circumference is 16.5 inches (25-50%). She is in the 90 th percentile for height and weight. She gets very chatty when she is tired. She loves her b ig sister. Gracie wore this same outfit for her 5 months photo. Go here to see the pics .   I finally wrote about Gracie at 21 months. Go here to read about it.
