Remember when the doctor told us Grace was too skinny, at her 9-month well-baby checkup? It was because she was in the 90th percentile for height and only the 25th percentile for weight, based on the growth charts. So, the doctor told us to start Grace on formula to fatten her up. Well, who wants to start buying formula after nine good months of free breastmilk? Not me. So, we tried formula with her once, and she hated it, so we quit trying.
Anyway, we went in for her 12-month checkup today (a couple of weeks late), and not to worry - she's perfect (as always)! She weighs 23 pounds, which is 80th percentile, and is 31-3/4 inches tall, which is above the 95th percentile. She's a big girl!
She also got four shots, and she was a champ. Luke held her hands and I watched. She only cried for about 10-15 seconds afterward. I think it was harder for me than her! And she hasn't acted cranky or feverish at all. What a sweetheart.
We also taught her a new "trick." We say "I love you...Mwah!" and blow her a kiss. So, now we'll say, "Grace, tell Mommy 'I love you.'" And she'll blow us a baby kiss. It's SO adorable!
On the home front, our drywall is being mudded this week. It should be done by the end of next week, and then priming will happen Thursday or Friday. After that is trim. WOW! I hope it goes as quickly as it sounds like it will.
That's all for now.

Ooo, what a cool update! It's hard to think of little Grace as being big, but I guess she is for her age. She's gonna be tall, that's for sure (yay, bball and vball, here she comes!).
Woohoo, that house is gonna be built before you know it. I don't know what mudding the walls means, but it sounds awful fun. See you in a month or so for Christmas!
Yeah for Grace! Yeah for drywall! Yeah for updates! Love you guys! MOM
Mudding the walls...now that sounds like a job I could help out with. Painting was obviously above me. :)
You guys are so cool. I can't wait to see the baby kisses! Love you,

Cool news - I needed some good stuff this morning.
Betsey - mudding properly is about 10,000 times harder than painting.
