My parents came to visit over Memorial Day weekend and it was SO good to see them. Of course they absolutely adored Grace and we all had a wonderful time together. My mom and I did what we do best--shopping and got Grace some cute new clothes (not that she didn't already have enough), but to be a Toppel one must have an extensive wardrobe, right? 

 Grace definitely has Grandpa Jimmy's pretty blue eyes!

 Grandma and Grandpa hung out with Grace so John and I could sleep late!

Grace has been working on her smiles. She smiles a lot, but it's very hard to catch on camera! I did catch a few good ones though...

 big smiles!

new dress!

My mom got Grace a new swaddle to sleep in because she got a bit big for her other ones. She is such a little Houdini and somehow manages to get her arms out of it!

We have been doing more of a bedtime routine with her in the past few weeks. She has a bath around 6 or 6:15 and then has her bottle with Daddy somewhere between 6:30 and 7. She usually does a good stretch of sleep after that and wakes up to eat again sometime between 12 and 1. Her next stretch isn't quite as long, so that is what I want to work on next! It would be great if she would sleep until 1 and then sleep until 6 or 7.  I can always hope, right?
