November 14, 2009 - Grace's New Trick

We haven't had anything too exciting going on since Baby Nora was born earlier this week. Although, Kristoffer and I did go out to dinner last night with some of our friends to celebrate a birthday, and we left Grace with Jonipher (our housekeeper) for the first time. Everything went well (Grace did wake up and Jonipher kept her up playing until we got home, but no harm done and we all survived) and now we know that we do have an evening babysitter and can start being a bit more social.

Grace is close to going from lying down to sitting up by herself and is close to properly crawling forwards (backwards she has some sort of movement already). BUT what is she is into the most right now is featured below:
While eating a meal, she will frequently raise her arms up above her head for a few seconds (as above), and occasionally she will smile widely while doing so. She and I were sitting at the table eating lunch today from 12:30 to 1:00 and in that time she did this "we are the champions" bit 12 times! It is very funny. In the eating department things are going well; for lunch today she had: one piece of whole wheat toast with hummus (she loves hummus!), two tablespoons of pureed pears mixed with whole grain oatmeal cereal, 1/4 of a potato, and 1 grape. It was her first time eating grapes and I think it was a bit tart for her preference. Anyway, we are making a lot of efforts to help her gain some weight and we hope they will pay off!

Happy weekend!
