a rainbow shaped line of shoes is gracie's favorite thing to be OCD about lately ;)
big girl bed!!!! this bed has been waiting for months now (i've been pushing it off and pushing it off..) and since lola hit 6 months and wasn't sleeping in her crib yet (i had a lot of anxiety about that) because gracie was still sleeping in the crib - well i finally told jae it was time and we were just going to jump right in! so we did. and she's done pretty dang good. this was her first night. she was pretty excited.
endless kisses between these sisters
she is a momma's girl and a snuggler and i cannot get enough of the sweetness
she wanted to have a picnic in the basket with her snacks and books. so she did!
gracie went to see cousin quinn in her ballet recital. i think she got a little bored with all the dancing, but loved the costumes and the flowers at the end! and dressed up in her 'twirl' skirt and pink sparkly ballet shoes for it
pantry door, painted and knobbed and installed! check.
tile floor is done!!!!! jae did amazing.
she cracks me up. insisted on the hat (which is so cute but too big so falls off constantly) and the purse, of course. she gets so mad when she can't get it on and off over her head by herself.
oh and all of that while reading some books in mom and dads closet.
i wish you could see him from the front view, but someone asked gracie 'what is dad doing?' and she looked at him like this and said, without missing a beat, 'feeding lola!'. that's exactly what it looked like, now that she mentions it! it was so so funny.
first nap in the crib. now she's in there for every nap and every sleep and it's been so great.
just a goofy gracie face. she's super into scrunching her nose lately and giving us this disgusted look.
she often asks to have some of my morning smoothie, and it always makes its way up to her nose somehow ;)
lola doesn't make very many silly faces like this! i was so glad i caught it on camera.
we had a nasty cold turned bronchiolitis run through our house a few weeks ago and the girls (and jae and i) were sad little sickies for two weeks. it was miserable.
greatest family photo you've seen, amiright?! (lola's face!)
visiting my sister susan's new house that's being built and playing peek-a-boo in their fun little windows under the stairs. perfect gracie size.
first ride in the stroller sans carseat. she did pretty good sitting up! until she fell asleep.
lots of park days and lola got to sit in the swing too! she literally just sat in the swing for 10 seconds - but it's a start! soon she'll be swinging right alongside sister.
(and it was too bright for little baby eyes)
gracie's first dentist appointment!! they took xrays and brushed her teeth and counted them and she got to pick out a new toothbrush and two prizes. she did awesome! and no cavities!
(score one for the parents ;))
