Grace 14 weeks

Here goes my first post about Grace Elizabeth!

I can't believe I waited this long to do this. Grace is 14 weeks old already! She's getting so big! Her 4 month checkup is just a couple weeks away. I can't wait to see how much she weighs, how tall she is and how she's developing. When I weigh her at home she's about 14 pounds. Already more than double her birth weight! She's filling out 3-6 month clothing well, too. And those cheeks! Oh, those cheeks. We call her our little chunky monkey. For now at least :)

She's starting to smile a lot more and pay attention to things moving around her. She loves listening to her daddy make silly noises and loves music! She loves being in her bedroom. She does not like being in her carseat. At all.  It's been so much fun learning different things about her. Every day is a learning process, some days more challenging than others, but every second is precious! We are so blessed to have such a sweet baby girl!

See you soon!

Love,

Lindsay
