12lbs 11oz and 24" long. Quite a peanut!
Oh my goodness I am so late in writing this post! Life has gotten even busier and it's harder and harder to find a spare moment. Grace is just FULL OF ENERGY these days - even more than before. She's so interested in the world around her and is quite a little social butterfly. She is very vocal and makes a wide range of sounds. It's very entertaining to her parents and grandparents!
Perhaps the most important thing that happened recently was that Grace received a cranial reminding band, which she'll be wearing forthright next 2-3 months. She was born with Congenital Muscular Torticollis and Plagiocephaly as a result of her tight intrauterine environment. The Torticollis has been greatly improved through starching and regular chiropractor visits, however she was left with a slightly crooked head (Plagio). Sometimes these head shape issues work themselves out in time, but sometimes they don't, and Mr. E and I decided it wasn't worth risking it. So on her 5 Monthday she was given her cool, new helmet! It's pink, of course :) She has to wear it 23 hours a day, only taking it off to bathe and to clean the helmet. It's been a little bit of an adjustment, but Grace is such a little trooper. Today while bathing her I noticed that the helmet is already starting to make changes. I'm already so glad we've decided to go this route.
Taken the week of Christmas
Taken during her bath this morning
Hangin' out with Great-Aunt Kristen
We see Great-Grandpa at least twice a week
Cool new toy that she's too little for, but still enjoys anyway!
Grace found her feet! They're constantly in her mouth now.
Another trip to visit Nana and Grandpa
Girls day with Nana (not the best picture)!
Big SU fan
Grace loves to touch her daddy's beard!
Visiting with mommy's best friend, Kay
There are so many thugs I want to remember about this time in Grace's life and I'm worries I'm too sleep-deprived for that to happen! I love her little laugh - she thinks I'm absolutely hilarious. She loves playing peek-a-boo. She is fascinated by her left hand, which we call "the starfish", because it looks like a cute, chubby little starfish! She brings it in close to her face and slowly turns it, looking at each of her fingers. And then she chews on it because that's what she does with everything these days!
Happy 5 Monthday, my love! I love you more and more every day!
