Beach Trip

Over Memorial Day weekend, we went to the beach. It was a quick trip but so worth it. We have finally found our "place" at the beach! Nonna, Papa, and Ella went with us. It was so nice so spend time with all of them.

The weather was nice and the boys had a great time in the pool. Andrew discovered that he loves to "swim" and is very, very brave when it comes to the water. I guess it's time for swimming lessons for him! Gracie had a good time too napping by the pool. She loved the ocean breeze. Don't we all!

Gracie rolls over!

Gracie rolled over today from her back to her tummy. I put her on the bed (on her back), turned around for a second, and when I turned back around she was on her tummy.

3 year and 2 month check up

When I scheduled Grace's 2 month check up, I knew the date sounded familiar. That's because I'd also scheduled Andrew's 3 year check up for the same day. Rather than making 2 trips to the pediatrician, we decided to keep the appointments at the same time on the same day. Overall, it wasn't a bad trip.

This was the first doctor's visit where Andrew got to pee in a cup and have his blood pressure taken. When he finished in the bathroom, he just had to bring the cup to show me. He was just so proud of himself. Andrew weighed 31.06 pounds (50th percentile) and was 39 1/2 inches tall (90th percentile).

Grace did well too. She had many shots but she only cried for a minute. Grace weighed 11 pounds, 12 ounces (50th percentile) and was 24 1/4 inches tall (95th percentile).

Andrew's 3 years old!

Andrew turned 3 years old today! We had his school party yesterday so we could keep him home from school and spend the day together on his birthday. We went to the McWane Center and played and had lunch. When we came home, he drove around some in his new police car, a birthday present from us. We had a wonderful day!

Gracie is 2 months old!

I can't believe Grace is already 2 months old. It seems like she was born yesterday. She's discovered her hands and loves sucking her thumb (she prefers her left over her right). Her baby hair has fallen out and has started coming back in. Maybe she'll have my thick hair (Lord help her and her stylist). She has the cutest cubby cheeks and looks so much like Andrew when he was her age. The boys are totally smitten and want to hold her all the time. It's hard to imagine what our life was like just a few months ago before she was born. She's such a blessing!

Grace's Baptism

Grace was officially welcomed into the Catholic church today. What a special day for all us!
