GRACE NAOMI IS TWO MONTHS OLD

Grace Naomi is two months old!

 

August 15,2011 Grace turned 2 months old. Grace is already growing way too fast for mom.  Grace is weighing in at a healthy 9 pounds and 14 ounces.  For her weight she is in the 15th percentile.  Grace has grown 1 whole inch for a total of 21 inches putting her in the 10th percentile for length.  Her head is now measuring 39 centimeters putting her in the 50th percentile.  That’s mommy’s girl, a big head just like her sister.  Grace is such a sweet baby and a most cherished member of our little family. 

Grace brings laughter and smiles to our family each and everyday.  Grace has yet to go 30 minuets without getting kisses from someone.  I guess that is how she learned to give kisses too.  We all LOVE getting kisses from Grace.

Mom has a feeling that Grace is in a hurry to catch up with her big sis, Bryleigh.  Grace already doesn't like just laying down even if she is being held.  Grace is constantly trying to sit up or stand up.  Bryleigh has been trying to teach her to walk since she was about 3 weeks old.  I think that Bryleigh has waited so long for a sister that she wants Grace running around with her.  Grace loves to go for walks, see, & explore new things.  One of Grace’s favorite things to do is to sit in her swing and talk (coo) to her animals on her mobile.  She is so cute.  Bryleigh is hoping that this a a sign that she will love animals just as much as she does.  We are so VERY blessed to have Grace in our family and cherish each and every moment that we have with her. 

  Grace Naomi we love you!

 

A visit from Papa Geoff

Grace is all dressed up to spend the day with Papa Geoff.

Not the best picture, but this is Bryleigh Teaching Papa Geoff how to play Wii Bowling.

The weekend of August 5th my dad (aka Papa Geoff, or Geoffrey Jones) came for a visit all the way from New York to be apart of Grace's blessing.  I think my dad is one of those men that just get better with age.  I so enjoyed spending time with him.  He even let me flat iron his hair.  What a good sport. We had long talks both serious and silly.  The girls just ate him up.  Grace of course loved her cuddle time and Bryleigh loved playing with him.  Bryleigh even got my dad playing the Wii.  It's funny to look at Grace and see some of the facial expressions that she makes because they remind me so much of my dad.  We ended his trip with a early morning breakfast at 5th Street Bagels.  My Favorite.  We sat by the fire and chatting. Although his stay was short, I was most thankful to be able to spend time with him and make some most cherished memories.  When he left. Bryleigh was sad because she didn't know when she would be able to see him again.  She wants to know move to New York to be closer to him.  Time can only tell where we will end up.  For now we will be thankful for the times we do have together.

One of Papa Geoff's favorite activities to do is to play mini golf.  Mom  still one though =)

Papa Geoff in perfect form.
