Long Time No Post

So I have been told by several people now that they keep looking to the website to see updates on Grace. So here is an update on Grace!

Grace is 9 months old now, her stats are:
Weight- 18lbs 10oz (50%)
Length- 26 3/4" (25%)
Head 18cm- (90%)
She is a very disproportionate child but she is so darn cute!

As I said in the last post we got her a cranial orthosis helmet in May to reshape the severe flat spot she had on the back of her head. She has had the helmet now for 2 1/2 months and we have seen great improvement! We only have about anothe 2- 2 1/2 months left of the helmet. Our goal is to have it off before her first birthday!

Grace is also our very stubborn child, she will roll from her tummy to her back and has been doing this since she was 6 1/2 months old however she refuses to go the other way. She absolutely hates being on her stomach. The physical therapist even laughs at her stubborness with rolling over. Well because she won't spend any time on her tummy she is not crawling nor is she moving. In some ways its nice to have a child you can put in the middle of the floor and walk away from and know when you come back that she will still be in the middle of the floor, however a lot of her friends are moving and I think that would be fun too.

In May we had to buy a new vehicle as Scott's car rusted out, we then entered the world of minivan owners. We really love the minivan and it really came in handy in June when we went to MI to see Scott's brother and his family. Nothing else really new. Please find some pictures of Grace posted in the next post.
