Gracie's 4 month check up

Grace had her 4 month check up today. She got 2 shots and one oral vaccine. She weighed 15 pounds (70th percentile) and was 25 1/4 inches tall (90th percentile).



We got the official OK to start solids. The pediatrician said with 2nd and 3rd babies when he says "it's OK to start solids" that really means keep doing what you've been doing with solids. We started cereal when Grace was about 8 weeks old and have tried bananas (those give her gas so we've stopped them), apples, and tonight we tried carrots. At first she wasn't sure about them, but she gobbled them up!

Newborn photos

Right after Gracie arrived, we got a photographer, Julia Cantley, to come to our house to do a newborn photo shoot. We did not do this with either of the boys and I really did regret capturing those tiny baby moments. Julia did a wonderful job!

Gracie is 4 months old!



I can't believe that Gracie is 4 months old already! She's such a sweet baby. She only cries when she truly needs/wants something. She's very laid back and easy going. Gracie loves her brothers already. She smiles and talks to them all the time!



She's rolled over from tummy to back and back to tummy and she's just discovered that she has feet. She's constantly grabbing at them. And I think she's teething. She's drooling everywhere and can't keep her hands out of her mouth.



What a blessing she is!

Happy Belated 4th of July




We had terrible weather on the 4th of July so we didn't get to do any fireworks. Plus, Gene had to go downtown for the summer band concert that wasn't. So, we decided to get some fireworks and shoot them off today. I'm sure it's illegal, but the boys had a wonderful time!


And, yes, Andrew is wearing long sleeve, long pant pajamas in the middle of July with temperatures in the upper 90s!
