On Tuesday our sweet Grace turned two months old. Icant believe how much she's grown up in the last month. Her little personality is really starting to emerge and she has revealed herself to be a sweet, smilely, fairly laid-back child. It's such a joy being her mom and I feel so lucky that I'm able to stay at home with her.
Here is what Grace has been up to this month. She's spent a lot of time bonding with her grandparents and great-grandpa.

This month, Grace also met her Great-Grandma, Great-Grammy, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins for the first time. Here she is with her Great-Aunt Kristen:
We learned something very important about Grace this month and that is, she soothes herself by suckling. A lot. The pacifier has become her new best friend, and she is a much calmer, happier baby because if it.
Grace is also becoming very mobile. She wants to go, go, GO! She loves to lie in her Pack 'n' Play and kick up a storm! She's been holding get head up even more and is enjoying tummy time. When she lies on her stomach she pulls up her head and moves her arms and legs like she's trying to crawl. I think she's going to be an early crawler.

But of all the fun, new developments this month, by far the most exciting has been seeing Grace smile. And she smiles a LOT. She loves to watch you face and grin, squawk and chortle. She lights up when she sees me :) It absolutely melts my heart! Here are some pics of our happy girl:
Such a happy girl!!
On Wednesday, Grace had her 2 month physical. She weighed 9lbs12oz and was 21.5" long. She is in the 25th percentile for height, weight and head size. She's our little peanut! She's small but mighty :)
Happy 2 Months, my sweet little love!
