Quick Update

Hi, Some great news, Grace can now turn herself over! She now weighs 17 lbs.

Signing & Holiday

Grace has had a very busy time recently (hence the lack of post!) A fortnight ago we had our first baby signing lesson. (This is teaching babies to do British sign language.) So far we have learnt signs for food, 'all done', more & milk. We can't wait until Grace can sign back to us. We've also been on holiday, we went down to Cornwall to stay at Granny & Grandad's house. Unfortunately the weather was not very good so we didn't get a chance to paddle in the sea. We did go down to the Lizard though (Britain's most southerly point) and Grace could hear the waves crashing against the rocks. We also visited a dairy farm which makes clotted cream ice cream (yum!) and Grace met a cow for the 1st time and it even licked her hand - which Grace didn't seem to like very much!

Weigh in and Update

Grace has had another great week. She has now started to use her new high chair (see picture) and has had her first taste of real food - just baby rice and a bit of banana so far. She seems to be enjoying the new experience. We had an afternoon out at the weekend to Coaly peak which is a lovely place to have a walk and there is a great view. She was weighed at clinic yesterday and is now 16lbs 1 oz.

Good Morning!

I think we should have " moonlight blue". Move over Laurence, Grace gets serious about interior design!

Weigh in

Grace now weighs 15 lbs 10 ozs!

Update

Another great week for Grace. Last Tuesday she weighed 15 lbs 3ozs, she gets more active by the day and has now started chatting in "baby talk" which is very cute. On Saturday we went to a family party to celebrate cousin Jamie & Donnas wedding. She got to meet some of her cousins (there's sooo many!) This was a big adventure as we stayed overnight in a hotel and Grace was kept up very late - as you can see from the picture Grace found it all exhausting!

Mummy & Daddy said we were going to a party but I didn't see anything!

Clinic update

Grace has been weighed again today and she is now 14lbs 4ozs. Since finding her thumb a week or so ago she now doesn't seem to want to let go! The health visitor advised there is little or nothing we can do to dissuade her at this stage so we'll just have to live with it for the time being.

Sleeping like a baby!

Update

Well, as you can see from the picture below Grace sat unsupported for the first time, luckily Dad was there with his camera to capture the moment. We all think this was a bit of a fluke as Grace hasn't been able to sit like this again yet. We've had a couple of buzy weekends with cousin Cori & Steve coming up last weekend and Grannie & Grandad with the Tinsley clan this weekend. Grace coped with all the attention very well and didn't mind being passed around for cuddles one bit!

NEWS FLASH!! Grace sits unsupported for first time. :)

Clinic Day

Grace had her 2nd injections this Tuesday. No ill effects so far this time - she's just been a bit tired. She now weighs 13 lbs 8ozs. As you can see from the photo she is getting stronger and now likes being on her front for a short time. She is still dribbling loads but no sign of any teeth yet!.

This is such hard work!
