She's so serious, but oh so GORGEOUS!!

2nd Birthday!!

Grace loved it when everyone sang Happy Birthday to her!

She LOVES cake!!

Kyla and Grace

On February 21st, we had Grace's 2nd birthday party at a local park. Grace wasn't feeling well that week, so I don't have a lot of pictures of her smiling and being her happy self. She did enjoy herself, though. We can't believe that 2 years have gone by. She's growing up so fast! Happy Birthday sweet Angel! Mommy and Daddy love you!

Wearing Mommy's boots!

On February 13th, Grace had her first haircut. The haircut went ok, but the french braid did not. Grace got impatient while waiting for her hair to be braided and started crying. She was very tired, so that didn't help the situation. Her hair is just so pretty. I hated having it trimmed, even a little!

More 3D pictures of Baby RJ

RJ with his right fist over his forehead!

In this picture, he has his right foot over his face.
He put it there about half way through the ultrasonography session and would NOT move it. So we didn't get many more good pictures or video after that. Too funny!

RJ is already in the head-down position with his feet on my lower left side. That explains all the kicking it that area. He is extremely active all the time. I don't remember Grace being this wiggly!

Grace's 3D ultrasound!

Raymond Joseph

On Monday, Bryan and I went to have a 3D ultrasound. As soon as we saw RJ on the screen, I thought he looked exactly like Bryan. When we got home and compared RJ's 3D ultrasound to Grace's, he looked exactly like her! It was just incredible!

I am 31 weeks along now...only 9 more weeks to go. Yikes! I'm starting to get a little nervous about it. RJ weighs about 3.3 pounds and is about 16 inches long. Over the next few weeks he will put some meat on his bones and plump up. I have a doctor's appointment next week, and will post the progress then.

Grace has been showing us that she's turning two this week and has been quite testy. I'm worried about how she will feel when RJ gets here. We don't want her to feel left out.

So far she seems to be pretty excited about meeting RJ. She will lift up my shirt and talk into my belly button to tell RJ that she loves him. Then, she'll say "we need to close him up (meaning, put my shirt down) and let him go to sleep".

Grace told me the other day that she wanted to teach RJ how to ride a bike. She is such a sweet loving little girl! She's going to be a great big sister!!

Three little monkeys climbing up the slide!

Grace enjoyed playing on the playground with her friends!!

Our little Dare Devil!

Climbing the rock wall...

She really surprised me with how much strength she has in her arms. She had no problems hoisting herself up the wall.
