No Gracie, No Cry

Daddy got Gracie up this morning, and she loved it. When he left for work, we played dress up. Top right she is looking serious in her Bob Marley onesie. In the afternoon she put on a lighter, pinker outfit. Doesn't she look a little like Rocky in the hooded pic? Must be her Philly blood.

Learning to Read

Grace still has blonde eyebrows, but her lashes are getting darker.

After spending the morning reading and lounging in Juicy Baby Couture, we went to a lunch at Kidville.

Then we took a walk to Central Park with Grace's friends Caroline, Ethan and Jake. Tonight Aunt Meredith came to visit.

It's fun to stay at the...

Gracie and I went to our last New Mom, New Baby class at the YMCA today. From L to R: Ethan, Caroline, Ryan, Grace, Lucy, Nina and Daniel.

NCAA Sunday

Grace watched lots of basketball today - at home and even out at a local sports bar, The Back Page. This afternoon, however, was the highlight of her day: George Meyer and his parents came over for brunch.

15 Weeks Old

Grace, Daddy and I went to brunch with Neil and Erin today, and then we took a walk. In the afternoon Grandma, Uncle Zac, Uncle Teddy and Aunt Katie came to visit and made Grace laugh. A lot. Week 15 Album.

Big Girl Seat

Grace put on her diape(red) onesie from Daddy and snowmass socks from Grandpa. She was so fascinated with the design on the socks that she kept folding over/falling forward to stare at her feet...which explains why we took off her pants. It made checking them out easier. Hilarious. Early this morning, Grace and I went to visit her twin friends, Nina and Daniel. While we were out, Daddy put her big girl seat on the stroller for her afternoon walk to the park with him, Uncle Zac, Rachel and me. Gracie liked the new seat a million times better than the car seat! Tonight all three of us went out for dinner, and then Daddy and Gracie watched basketball - she loves sports on TV, especially golf.

Party Dress

Grace got all dressed up today in her dress from Jenn because she had places to go. She went to lunch with her friends Caroline, Ethan and Lily at Vynl. Ethan's mom, Hallie, took an awesome photo of C, E and G.

Then in the early evening Grace went to a Tot Purim service with Olivia, Amalia and Jonah. Despite an intense amount of noise from the groggers, she passed out for 15 minutes of the 30 minute event. Afterwards we went to get dinner before coming home to get ready for bed.

Caught Redhanded

I was in a red mood today - check out Grace's outfit, the fruit punch gatorade and twizzlers. Here is a pic of me catching Grace watching TV with my snack.

Out and About

Today Grace and I went to a new mom lunch about sleep, and then we stopped to get her a new toy. Below is a video of her playing with it. In the afternoon, we went to the Sussberg's to play. Grace loved hanging out with all the older (9 months - 1 year) boys. Hubba, hubba. Tonight Aunt Meredith came over. What a great day!

Hanging with Her Friends

Grace loves going to our Monday class at the Y. Whenever she's around her baby friends, she loves tummy time. Holding up those chubby cheeks is a tough job, but she's willing to do it in order to see what all her friends are up to. Check out how high she is holding her head. Fun times.

Sunday Fun

Today we went to brunch for Uncle Zac's bday. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, Gracie practiced her hand-eye coordination.

After we got home, Daddy kept Grace entertained. Check out this video of her reaching for the bird and then getting frustrated that she couldn't pull it off. In the other video she alternates between trying to whack the bird and trying to eat her rattle.


Meryl and Joey came over for dinner. Good times.

14 Weeks Old

Gracie wore her adorable Dr. Seuss Thing 2 onesie from Arielle and her purple sweatsuit from Kelly. She was fussy today - not sure why, but she wasn't totally herself. Week 14 Album.

Rocking Out

Gracie got her led out today in this cute onesie from Rob and Laura. After a morning of errands, eating, napping and playing, little Miss G threw on her Harvard hoodie from the Fishbacks and we met Henley for lunch. We also saw President Bush's caravan drive east on 79th Street. Gracie was well behaved in her stroller so we took a long afternoon walk. Afterwards, we went to the Sundheim's for Rockin' with Andy, and Gracie loved the live music.

Lots of Activity

This morning we went for a walk with Grace's twin friends, Daniel and Nina. Here is a picture Grace and Nina hanging out on the playmat. Then Grandma and Great Grandma came to visit. This afternoon Grace played with Mommy, took another walk and tried on her bear snowsuit from Rachelle and Mark. It almost fits!

Ribbit, Ribbit & 3 Rollovers

Grace has been working out twice a day on her tummy. Above left is a shot from her morning workout, right after she woke up. The exciting news is that all her hard work has paid off: today...drumroll...she rolled over from her belly to her back. She did it three times in a row - twice to the left and once to the right.

Kicking, Grabbing and Babbling

Grace woke up this morning and lounged in her cute horsey jammies. Then she put on her potential onesie from Marlo and got ready to meet some of her friends for lunch at Nick's. This afternoon, Grace had a blast on her playmat - here are three short videos of her grabbing, kicking and talking. Mommy appears to be having more of a blast than baby, as you'll hear. Tonight Aunt Meredith came by to visit.

Baby in a Bag

Here is Grace sitting pretty in her personalized Pottery Barn Kids bag from the Kowals. Gives new meaning to baby tote bag, right? So cute.

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the cutest baby of all? Grace wore her pretty princess outfit from Susanne and Charlie today. Her hand-eye coordination is getting better and better. She's reaching for toys and even holding her bottle. Today we went for a walk in Central Park.
