Gracie is now 4 months old and she is so much fun! She loves to smile and squeal and demands your attention when she feels ignored. She is getting very good at sitting in her bumbo and recently started standing in her exersaucer. She’s just barely tall enough so she can’t stay in it for very long, but it is nice to have another place to put her during the day. Gracie had her four month check up last Wednesday. She weighs 12 lbs, 14 oz (she’s already doubled her birth weight!) and is 24 inches long. She got 4 shots and an oral vaccine and she barely cried after the shots, but the rest of the day was pretty rough. I was rewarded for putting up with her crankiness during the day though, because that night she slept 11 hours straight! It was a nice reminder of what the future will hold.

Grace had cereal for the first time last week and seemed to hate it the first couple of times, but is getting into the groove now. She is doing great in her own room and tonight she is sleeping without being swaddled for the first time.
