3 Months Old

Grace turned three months old today! She was very grumpy in the morning - must have been the gloomy weather or the idea of daylight saving tonight. She got to meet Kelly, one of mommy's oldest friends. And she played with Mom-mom and Grandpa all afternoon and evening. Week 13 Album.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Z-Man!

Gracie woke up and put on a 6-12 month outfit today. She's so big! We went to the pediatrician this afternoon and learned that she weighs 14 lbs (90th percentile) and measures 24.5 inches long (75th percentile). On our way back, we stopped to visit Aunt Enid. Then we came home and celebrated Uncle Zachary's bday. He turned 288 months old today.

Busy Thursday

Grace got up this morning and enjoyed listing to her new CD from Mom-mom on the computer. She was twisting and turning to see where the music was coming from.

For lunch, we met up with Hallie and Ethan, and Gracie really enjoyed her second date with her new boyfriend. She also enjoyed some more playtime on her mat. (Thank you, Andrew & Laura!)

Tonight Aunt Meredith came over before her bath and bedtime, and Grace had so much fun playing with her. Auntie M also indugled Grace in her favorite activity: standing in the kitchen and watching the water run!

Baby Cashmere

Gracie looked so cute when she woke up this morning. She's moving around in her sleep a lot these days, but she always seems to wake up hugging her lovey blankets. Baby Grace got all dolled up today - putting a dress and tights on for the first time - because she knew she was going to meet her friends Sam and Henry. Gracie was a little beauty in her special outfit from cousin (and stylist) JoJo and her necklace from Roni.

I Pity The Fool

Today Grace put on her Mr. T onesie from Andrew and Laura. Doesn't she look tough? Ok, maybe not...but she's getting stronger. She can roll from her back to her side now. We went out for lunch with Grace's new baby friends and then walked home in the rain, which Grace seem to find soothing. Normally she doesn't nap much in her stroller, but today she passed out. This afternoon our old friend and new neighbor, Rachel Bowie, came by to visit.

Super Cute Sweater Sunday

Mom-mom enjoyed seeing how joyful and smiley Gracie is when she wakes up in the morning. Here is a picture of them looking stylish in their coordinating cream sweaters. Grace was so happy to wear her special sweater from Aunt Dina. In the afternoon, Ryan, Rich, Aunt Dina and Uncle Teddy came over for dinner.

12 Weeks Old

Nathan and Leila came to visit, and Grace napped the whole time they were here. She woke up in time to see Grandma and her Gleser Aunts and Uncles. Then Mom-mom came to babysit for the night. Week 12 Album.

Gracie's First Leap

Grace met up with her friend Caroline at Alice's Tea Cup for lunch, and then we took a walk in the freezing cold. Grace was sure to stay warm by bundling up in her pink Patagonia from the Markgrafs. Then she headed home to hang out with cousin JoJo and play on her mat. This evening Grace had a special visit from Aunt Katie during her bedtime bottle. Crazy that the next time Grace experiences a leap year/day, she'll be four.

Two New Friends

Grace woke up with a HUGE smile on her face. She was totally overwhelmed by some exciting news: her two newest friends, Sam and Henry Schiffman, were born yesterday. Grace and I went to lunch at Haru with Henley, and then we stayed in and played because it was so cold.

First Date

Lately I've been letting Grace hang out in the morning before going in to greet her and get her up for the day. As soon as I peek into the crib, she engages and teases me by smiling, hiding her face and then looking back to smile some more. Above is a short video of her first moments today. After playing for a little while and getting a mini bath, she put on her adorable social butterfly outfit from Stef and Roy. In the afternoon we met up with Gracie's new boyfriend, Ethan. After lunch, they took a walk, took a nap and then played together. Good times.


Then in the afternoon Shimmy and Ralph came to visit. Grace loved meeting them!

Getting Stronger

Grace's tummy time is paying off. Check out her neck strength below, and that wasn't even her highest lift. Today she rolled from her back to her side in effort to look at her face in the mirror. It's adorable when she examines herself, smiles, sees the smile in the mirror and then smiles back at herself. Another thing she enjoys these days is sucking on her hands. Delicious!

Beautiful Day

Grace went to her class at the Y today and then took a walk to Central Park with her new friends Brody and Annabelle. The weather was gorgeous so we stayed out as long as possible.

Fun Sunday

Great Grandma Bess, Grandma, Aunt Enid & Uncle Keith and Uncle Z-man came over for lunch today. Gracie enjoyed seeing everyone. After lunch, Grace, Daddy and I took a walk to Central Park. Then we were lucky to get a visit from Stef & Roy and Meredith & Daniel. Grace is conciously reaching for things now. Tonight she grabbed Daddy's nose.

11 Weeks Old

Today marked 11 weeks for Little Miss Grace, and we celebrated by taking her to Saturday brunch. It was our first meal out as a family, and she did great. Her eyes darted around the restaurant, and she totally behaved. Then we came home and she had visits from Lauren Toretta and Alex Tisch. What a great day! Week 11 Album.

Snow Day

Gracie put on a snow white outfit today in honor of the weather. Her coordination is getting better, and she's more aware of her hands. Recently she's been swatting at her bottle. Today she really grabbed it.
