Grace is 4 Months Old!

It’s hard to believe Grace has been in our lives for 4 months already. She has done a lot of growing over the past 4 months and is gaining new skills every day. Plus, she is so much fun to be with. We had her 4 month check up today and she is sprouting up like a weed. She’s now 25.5 inches long (90th percentile) and 12.5 pounds (50th percentile). At her appointment last month she was only 50th in height and between the 10th and 25th percentile in weight. That’s quite a bit of growing in the last 4 weeks! She is officially a long, skinny baby and is still wearing some of her newborn pants since they still fit her around the waist. Of course, they are total highwaters……the beginning of a lifetime of highwater pants I’m afraid.

She has been doing a lot of babbling and screeching and loves to tell us about her night full of dreams when she wakes up in the morning. That is probably her most talkative time of the day. Unfortunately there were also a few nights in a row where she decided to be talkative at 2am. That was a little less fun for us but she totally enjoyed herself.

We started going back to church and she, of course, has to be in her Sunday best. I have the cutest pair of tights for her and the grandmas in the church nursery just eat them up. I/we finally worked up enough courage to leave her in the nursery a few weeks ago for the service and it was WONDERFUL!!! Needless to say, she is a regular in the nursery now. She also seems to enjoy it and usually gets held by someone the entire time. Is it wrong that the free childcare can sometimes be a modivator to make it to church on Sunday morning??
