Second Time’s the Charm – A Grace Update

Today baby Grace is four months old.  I can’t believe she’s been with us for four months now.  I can’t imagine life without her.  What a blessing she’s been to our little family. 

To celebrate, she decided to unveil a new trick today.  I was working at home this morning when from the other side of the room I heard Catrina exclaim, “She rolled over!”  Of course I missed it….too busy reviewing some proposal or something.  Of course we put her back on her stomach to see if she could replicate the move, but alas, it wasn’t to be.  We only succeeded in making her mad.

We gave it another try after I got done working and the most amazing thing happened.  First she lifted her head and chest off the ground.  Then she brought one leg up, twisted to the side and let gravity do its job.   It was pretty unbelievable to watch.   While I didn’t get to see the first one, I’m glad I got to see the second. 

As amazing as that was, I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like to watch her take her first step, ride her bike without training wheels for the first time, get her driver’s license and take the car out for a drive, graduate high school, walk her down the aisl…….I don’t want to get ahead of myself.  It’s already going so fast.
