Sleep is going much, much better for Gracie. I transitioned her to her crib a little earlier then I did with her siblings, but she is doing so well. She goes down so easily. She usually goes to bed around 7:00 p.m. Her first wake-up varies quite a bit. It can vary from 1:30 all the way to 4:30. The longest she has made it was 5:15! She is sleeping like a champ. Although, the oddest thing I have noticed is that once a week she has a really bad night where she is up a lot. It only happens once a week, and seems to happen weekly without fail. She had a rough night last night, but I know she will do much better night tonight. She is also sleeping like a champ in her crib for naps. I put her in her crib and she will usually take a good two hour nap. She loves to sleep with her arms spread wide out. It's pretty darn cute. She takes two long naps a day and sometimes a shorter third or fourth nap.
Graceyn continues to have such a love for her brother and sister. She always has the biggest smile for both of them. They continue to love her to pieces. The only problem is, they are often fighting over her attention. It's cute, but at the same time still fighting. They were at their grandparents this last weekend and didn't get home until Graceyn was already in bed. The next morning, they both literally sprang out of bed to see her. They both were so excited to give her kisses and talk to her. I think they missed her way more than they did us.
Graceyn continues to be a master at rolling over. She is go good at rolling back to belly, but hasn't mastered the belly to back yet. I know it will be soon. She still loves to swing in her swing. I think she loves the swing because it allows her to look around and watch all of us. I often put her in the swing when I'm cooking dinner. She also still loves her play mat, but it getting a little big for it. We started to put her in the jumper which she is crazy about. She also loves to take baths. We put her in her special little bath seat and she just kicks and smiles away. The kids love to help with her baths too. Another favorite of hers is being read to. I read her books every night before bed. Her favorite is, "You Are My Sunshine". She also loves her mama and loves to be held and kissed.
Last Monday, I took Graceyn in for her four month check up. She now weighs 14.2 pounds (51%) and is 25 inches tall (74%). Clearly, she is doing a great job eating and is growing perfectly. Her doctor asked me if I had any concerns about Graceyn. I told her there wasn't one single thing I was concerned about. I don't know if its because she is my third child or she is just a perfect little thing, but I can truly say she is developing perfectly! Her doctor agreed and said she looked great. We did have to end the appointment with dreaded shots. Luckily, Ashlyn had insisted on coming along to hold Gracie's hand. I know it helped.
I can't think of much more to say other then we all love our girl to pieces and we are so blessed to have her in our lives! Here are the 4 month pictures I took of her. I think out of all the monthly ones I have taken, these definitely are starting to show her personality more.
