Each month seems to come and go faster than the next. Grace is so full of chatter and smiles that it makes the rest of us smile more too. Her cheerful disposition is clear, but I still wonder how it will manifest itself as she grows up! Grace got a thumbs up for perfection from the pediatrician at her four month appointment. She’s gaining on her brother and already tipping the scales at nearly 16 pounds. It seems like she practically skipped over the 3-6 month clothes and is now comfortably wearing mostly 6-9 month styles and size two diapers.
Grace sleeps about as much as Greylock used to! We can count on her for 12 hours every night and a couple of three hour naps during the day. We left her and Noah with a babysitter the other night–after nursing and drinking a two ounce bottle before we left, she still downed a five ounce bottle from the babysitter before going off to bed. The girl loves to eat! She is very close to rolling over and can get up on her side… I know she will be doing it soon. Grace still isn’t much of a fan of tummy time and generally prefers to lay on her back or sit in the bouncy seat or bumbo.
Noah and Grace are super cute together. Noah has been asking to “play with Grace” or “hug baby Grace” a lot more lately. She’s going to have her work cut out for her keeping up with him… but I have no doubt she will be up for it.
