On January 1 our sweet Gracie turned 5 months old and we stayed up until midnight just to celebrate! She is the sweetest baby you can imagine. My favorite thing is to go check on her sleeping and find her cooing and playing and then to see her face light up when she sees me! She is as roly poly as ever. She has rolls on her rolls and creases in her creases! She loves to put EVERYTHING in her mouth. Her latest trick is to take her binky out of her mouth. She thinks she is quite clever until she realizes that she can't get it back in or she smacks herself in the face trying! She LOVES Clara. She will stare Clara down just waiting for her to do something funny. Usually she doesn't have to wait long because Clara loves to perform for Grace. Clara can always get Gracie to laugh. I, on the other hand, am lucky to get a mild chuckle out of the girl. She is a great sleeper and loves to be swaddled with her pacifier. She hates having her nose wiped and has had to endure a lot of that lately because she has her first cold. She likes baths, toys, and her bumbo, but mostly she just loves being held. She is almost rolling over and almost sitting up on her own, but I'm in no rush. I love the "happy sedentary" stage while it lasts! We love our sweet Gracie!
At her 4 month check up these were her stats:
On New Year's Day (well the 2nd, since Nate was off) we had a traditional southern fried chicken. We skipped the collard greens and black-eyed peas (sorry mom) but it was my first time frying chicken and the expert (Nate) declared it delicious!
Clara also got a daddy pedicure to ring in the new year. Yes, Nate painted her toenails and they looked quite fantastic! It was so cute I had to document it. I hope she realizes what an amazing daddy she has!
