Spring has sprung...
Well... the time has changed, the days are longer, and the calendar says its Spring... and the best part.. it feels like SPRING! We've enjoyed walking every pretty day! Some days its just Grace Anne and Mommy.. other days we get Elaina and/or Alyssa to tag along. Sometimes Daddy even meets up with us after work.
This week was very busy and I had every intention of blogging more than I did! Sorry. Grace Anne's closet has been reorganzied once again and now has new storage boxes that are labeled in a very teacher-esque manner. (clip art and fun fonts to boot!) She also has a whole stash of headbands due to my recent headband-making-spree. (they go along with the gazillion bows I've now made as well!). She still needs a few more hats for summer though.. and I've not figured out, or even tried for that matter, a way to make sunhats. She has a couple from Zutano and the 0-6 months fit well.. so I think thats probably what we will get more of... I think they are adorable and will come in super handy when the hot sun and her fine blonde hair. Yes folks... for all of you that said she'd have dark hair... well you are wrong. I know its hard to believe that people thought she'd have dark hair (as an infant at least).. BUT, they did. We have a blonde hair, blue eyed beauty on our hands. Her hair is coming in rapidly. Now don't get me wrong she doesn't exactly have a whole head full and she isn't ready for ponytail holders quite yet... but she isn't completely bald either!
The warm weather has allowed us to pull out some short sleeves. If Daddy dresses her you can bet she won't have socks on.. he gets a kick out of her feetsies! She is still wearing lots of 0-3 clothing to give you an idea where we are size wise. We struggled to find an Easter outfit as so many of the dresses we tried on her were too big. Her slender upper body fit well in NEWBORN (yes, I know we are going backwards), but the length was a little to risque for a 4 month old! Finally, we had some luck yesterday at a local baby boutique.
The warmer weather has brought along one challenge... blankets. Our child loves to snuggle in a blanket and rarely falls asleep unless cuddle up in a blanket, but she has the body thermostat of her Gran Gran. She is very warm natured and doesn't do well when the least bit hot... these two aspects make it very difficult as the weather gets warmer. The solution seems to be cotton knit blankets rather than fleecey ones. Which isn't a huge epiphany..right... warmer weather... lighter fabrics. Probelm? We don't have knit blankets!! No one reminded me that it'd get warmer and I should register for them... geez! So really we do have one knit blanket (zutano none the less) but one isn't enough with Little Miss Spit-up. So, now we need knit blankets... and if you know a pregnant gal tell her now, register for knit blankets and for fleecy ones! There are multiple seasons, not just the one your baby is born in! I love love love this blanket. Also, the Kissy Kissy brand (love their clothes too) blankets (couldn't pick one to use as an example because these are all cute, check them out: 1 and 2) are extremely soft and light weight. They are pima cotton and actually feel cool, much like cold sheets on a summer day! Maybe we should tell the Easter bunny.. about this one!
This week Grace Anne goes to the doctor for shots and her 4 month check up. I took it upon myself to try feeding her cereal, which suprised Daddy since I never do anything without asking the doctor... but it turned out to be very messy as the picture above shows! (She also tried an orange at the Riggs' house the other night.)Last week, we got approved to change pediatricians. Mommy is very excited because we have seen this pediatrician several times and I really like him! Unfortunately, Daddy won't get to meet him this week since we have to go during Daddy's work hours. We are very anxious to see her percentiles and find out how long she is and how much she weighs. We will keep you posted!
PS... Our Basketball Vols are going to the SWEET 16!!
