Gracie at 15 months:

  • weighs a little over 23 pounds.
  • loves milk out of her sippy cup.
  • is starting to feed herself more and more. This is quite the messy process and she loves it.
  • loves peanut butter, oatmeal, Nutri-Grain bars, Cheez-Its, Cherrios, mac and cheese (probably the favorite) and jelly. She would probably eat almost anything if it had jelly on it.
  • will not eat meat and does not like cut up fruits and veggies, only pueered ones.
  • books, stuffed animals, Little People and legos are some of her favorite toys right now. She also loves her bike and her bus that she got for Christmas.
  • teeth! She has the 4 top front and bottom and at least 2 molars on the bottom.
  • loves music and loves to dance. She could care less about TV but the girl loves her tunes.
  • loves to talk to GMA and GPA on the webcam. She brings things over to the camera to show them.
  • is saying more words all the time. Mama, Dada, Nana, Papa, dirt, bye-bye, baby,and more are heard often. She contines to amaze us with the words that she will repeat.
  • when you ask her to give you a kiss, she turns her head to the side for you to kiss her. At least she is starting to catch on! She still likes to blow kisses as well.
  • still loves Daddy. He is a rockstar.
  • sleeps with 4 stuffed animals: Purple (her lion), a kitty, a puppy and a purple lepoard we have named Leo and a little blanket square. Puppy seems to be the favorite as he is still in the crib long after she has thrown the rest overboard.
  • she is generally a very happy girl but we are starting to see more of the toddler tempermant coming out. It is certainly challenging when she stands there screaming at you, but overall she is a lot of fun to be with.
  • LOVES the kitties, much to their dismay.
  • loves to brush her hair and is generally fascinated with anyone else's hair as well.
  • loves bath time but still hates to have her hair washed. As I am the primary bath-giver around her, she won't let anyone else give her a bath.
  • loves Auntie and gets very excited when she comes over.

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.
