Sam and Henry Schiffman came over to play today, and Grace was so happy to see them. The kids played nicely and even kissed each other goodbye. This afternoon Aunt Meredith and Jason came by to do stickers, play hockey and hang with Nate, who was so smiley for them.

Friday Class Fun

It's very hard to get Grace out of the house these days; she loves playing at home, hates getting dressed for the cold (unless she's playing dress up) and is tough to get in the stroller. Fridays, however, are not as tough because she takes two classes she loves: Little Maestros in the morning and ballet in the afternoon. She practices posse, touching her toes and walking on her tippy toes all the time.

Head Gear

Today Grace went to Buy Buy Baby, and she had a great time sitting in the cart and helping me shop. When we got home, we built the shopping cart from Grandma, wore her new Aunt Enid hat and made the cart into a "helmut."

Tummy Time Together

It snowed all day! Grace played with Max and Charlie in the morning and practiced tummy time with Nate this afternoon.

Clothes On, Clothes Off

Hockey to Diamonds

Grace has lots of interests: sports, Spanish, multimedia, jewelry and more. Here she is playing hockey with her new equipment from Grandma, watching some Dora and trying on her first pair of diamond earrings from Julie.

Sunday

Nate went for his one month check-up on Friday, and he was 22.5 inches long and 8 pounds, 15 ounces. That puts him in the 75th percentile for height and 50th for weight.

Grace often asks to "see something funny" and look in the mirror when her tongue is a different color; this red is from some strawberry Jell-O. Grandma came to visit today.

Gracie's First Trip to The Garden

Today we went to Sesame Street Live, and Grace had a blast. The show was awesome. Elmo, Ernie, Baby Bear, Abby, Zoe, Bert and more were all within arms reach. Grace was mesmerized the whole time and only had a few meltdowns - when she got hungry, when we wouldn't let her rush the stage and when the show ended. Here are some shots from the day: arriving at MSG, enjoying the show and exploding confetti, gobbling up some chocolate ice cream, doing stamps (thanks, Anni!) and testing out Daddy's shoes and briefcase. Next year Nate will have to join us.

One Month Old

Nate turned one month old today, and he celebrated with an amazing milestone: he rolled over from his tummy to his back. Grace slept in and is doing much better today. This morn, for ex, she asked for a lollipop with ketchup. Mmmhmmm.

Happy Boy

Nate really gets going when he is smiling. Doesn't the top right pic look like a glamour shot pose? I think Nate might even be pinching his own cheek or thinking about it.

Virus 3, Grace 0

Poor Grace was sick with all sorts of horrible symptoms over the weekend. She could barely lift her head, was napping all day long (she never naps) and wasn't eating. Poor thing has a horrible fever, too. Turns out she had an ear infection too. As sick as she feels, I think it might feel worse to be the parent. Nate has a cough, but he is sleeping, eating and smiling regardless.
