We took Grace to the doctor again today and she has a lower respiratory infection...baby bronchitis. Yuck! It's heart wrenching to see her sick. She's been coughing and sneezing a lot today and has vomited a few times today. Poor baby! She's such a great baby though. Even though she's sick, she's still smiling and cooing. We're praying she gets better really soon.
Blessings,

A Week of Firsts
This week was eventful! Grace had her first Thanksgiving, first cough, and ate her first solid foods. Grace has had a cough since yesterday. It seems that is might be from teething. She has not symptoms other than the cough. It really stinks hearing your four month old coughing. Here she is all bundled up for a visit to the doctor.
We also gave her rice cereal today for the first time. She didn't dig it much, but it was a good first feeding.
Hope you have a fabulous week! Grace is starting to fuss so gotta go tend to her.

It's been a busy month. I can't believe it's already the holiday season! I love Christmas and it is going to have so much meaning this year. It will be Grace's first Christmas and we'll be in Nashville with Jonas' family. Grace and I went shopping yesterday and we bought her a Christmas dress. I am looking forward to her Christmas pictures.
Jonas and I feel extremely blessed. Grace is such a joy and she warms our hearts. Last night she rolled for the very first time. She did it three times in a row, but by the time we got the camcorder out, she was done. She also likes standing and sitting (with minimal support). She is very much into drooling and chewing on anything she can get her hands on. And! She's starting to wear 9 month clothes! She is growing too fast!
She wasn't at that angle when we first put her in her play mat...
We love her smiles!
First time in her bouncer. Thanks Mimi!
She likes her bouncer!
Here's the face of a very blessed mommy!
This month reminds me to be thankful of all that the Lord has given me and to treasure family. I hope that I will remember to be thankful all year round!

Strawberry Kisses
Our sweet little Grace was a strawberry for Halloween this year. She looked so adorable in her costume. We're not much for celebrating Halloween, but done right, it can be fun for kids. Our church hosted a Harvest Festival this year, which we think is a great alternative to trick o treating. Although, I have many fun memories of trick o treating when I was a kid. We'll cross that bridge with Grace when she is old enough to ask about trick o treating. We took her to a local pumpkin patch today and took some shots of her in her costume.
Grace helped me celebrate my birthday yesterday. We had a few friends over for dinner and cake. It was mellow and fun. Funny how things change when you have kids. I was not in the mood to go out...thinking I'd spend more time tending to Grace than having fun. Staying home was more comfortable for the both of us!
Here's a short video of Jonas playing with Grace. He sure can make her smile, laugh, and coo. They are so sweet together.
Have a wonderful week. I am really going to enjoy the upcoming holidays now that we have a baby. I am seeing things with new eyes now. So much fun!

Three Months!
Grace turned three months old yesterday! Three months!! It's hard to believe she's already three. She got a little birthday surprise. Abuelo and Abuela paid a surprise weekend visit. We drove up to my sister's house in north LA to see them.
We didn't plan the outfits! Grace and Abuela's shirts matched perfectly.
Abuelo loves Grace! And she had lots of smiles and coos for him.
Grace loves it when daddy gives her a bath.
We got Grace a Bumbo seat. She likes it...although she's still not quite ready to sit up for long periods of time.
Next week is Halloween...she have a cute little costume for Grace. I bought it last month thinking she'd be starting to wear 306 months clothes...well she's wearing 6 month clothes! I hope we will be able to get it on her next weekend.
Blessings!

Growing, Growing, Growing!
Grace is growing so quickly! She is now 12 weeks old and wearing 6 month clothes. She wore her first 6 month outfit today. She is so long and keeps getting longer. It seems like she keeps doing new things and saying new sounds. The other day, I came home from going to the movies and it looked like she was waving at me. So cute!
Here she is wearing a 6 month outfit.
Doesn't that smile make your heart melt?
And she loves her daddy! She smiles so big for him and laughs when he talks to her. It's really neat to see their relationship. She's a daddy's girl.
Here she is with her first teddy bear.
Mommy and Grace.
Have a great week!
Beth

Weekend Fun
I am watching Grace sleep right now...she looks so peaceful. We had a great weekend together...and both of us were glad to have Jonas home too. I took video footage of Grace this weekend. It will be fun to show her these clips when she grows up.
This is Grace during tummy time. Normally, she cries and generally, dislikes it. But this time, for whatever reason, she was okay with it. She was kicking her legs and trying to lift her head.
Here we have her looking fascinated with her legs, knees, and feet. It's fun to watch her make new discoveries.
Here hoping you have a great week!
