Chatterbox

Gracie LOVES to talk! This video doesn't do the quantity and quality justice but boy are her smiles cute and her sounds...well, see for yourself!

Rub a Dub Dub

I put this little one in the tub for a little rub a dub dub. And of course I had some help from Bug. I went out to dry Grace...heard water splash all over the place....Then found a half clothed, soaking wet, Mr. Smug!

The Potty Fairy

Grant had a special visitor last night. The Potty Fairy left a little note, a sucker and some money for Bug. A few weeks ago, Grant wore big boy pants for 3 days but then informed me that he wanted to wear a diaper. I didn't fight him on it. Now a few weeks have passed and we are going to try the underoos again. Hopefully, the Potty Fairy will be visiting us again. Here is what the note said:

Grant,
I hear you like suckers so here's one for you. I hope you like the money, too. If you go potty and keep your big boy pants dry, then tomorrow night I'll drop something else by. Good luck you can do it--just put your mind to it!
Love,
The Potty Fairy

4 Month Check

Little Miss Gracie had her 4 month check the other day. She is doing fabulous! She weighs 12lb 13oz and is 22.5 inches long. When measured on a normal growth curve she is in the 25th percentile for weight and below the 5th percentile for height. When she is measured on the Down syndrome curve, she is in the 75th percentile for weight and the 25th percentile for height. The doctor did hear a heart murmur so we will get that checked when we go to get the holes in her heart looked at again. Other than that she is right on track. Go butterfly, go!

What's New?

So, what is new at our house? Well, Grant has decided he LoVEs soap. He has some special green soap and the other day this is what I found him doing-That's right folks, it was all over his face and there was loads of it in his hair. Goodness, he is fast. I turn my head for a few seconds and he can accomplish so much. I guess it is good he likes to be clean!?!? Also, Picasso has struck again. This time he used purples and greens to decorate his drawers. I guess white is just boring. Who can blame him? As for our little butterfly... She started rice cereal yesterday. The doctor said that it will hopefully help her reflux and make it possible for her to go off her medication. She does surprisingly well. Of course she has the tongue thrust going on but she is working on it. Today she did so much better than she did yesterday so maybe tomorrow she will have mastered the art of eating rice cereal. It is a hard thing you know. Mmmmm, those kissable cheeks. She is so cute I could eat her with a spoon. Speaking of cute...what has Adam been up to? Grant decided that daddy needed to be Gracie and so here he is sporting her bow. I am a bit shocked that he even let me take a picture. I am sure I threatened him or something. Chalk it up for memories, Tiger! :-)
Let's be honest, I have the cutest family ever. It's okay to admit you're jealous!

ERIN HUNTER

GRRR! For some reason I cannot leave a comment on your blog. What am I doing wrong? I have tried and tried but I am a complete failure! I write my comment and when I click "publish" I have to type the word I see then nothin'...I get nothin'! Am I just clueless?

Miss Giggles

Gracie is laughing now! It is so cute to hear her giggle. She also LoVEs to smile. Every time she does, my heart melts!
