I know I am a week early but we attended our adoption agency's Chinese New Year party this weekend. It was a good time as usual and we were able to meet up with a couple of families from our travel group. It's always nice to see how big the girls are getting. We almost thought we weren't going to make it this week as I picked up a nasty stomach virus and then Jen started feeling sick on Friday as well. Luckily Jen didn't get the same virus as I had. A couple pics below of Grace enjoying the party,

Big Bird and Big Girl Bed
Seems like it has been a while since I last posted but that is not due to the lack of things going on....seems like we have too much going on sometimes. Ok a little catch-up. Two weekends ago we took Grace to see the Sesame Street Elmo Live Show. She absolutely loved it. Seeing Elmo in the flesh fur was so exciting she fell to sleep for the last 5 minutes of the show. Unfortunately she wasn't too happy when she woke up and Elmo was gone. All in all a pretty good day.
This weekend was a much anticipated event in our household. We converted Grace's crib to a big girl bed. We have one of those cribs that convert to a full size bed so we let Grace help us take the crib apart and attach the rails. Then mommy locked herself in the room and put all of the pretty bedding on. The video below is Grace's reaction to seeing her big girl bed for the first time.
All went really well at bedtime, she went right to sleep and slept well through the night until about 4am, when Jen heard her coughing and went in to find Grace vomiting all over herself, the new bedding and eventually Jen. Fun times!!! So Grace spent the rest of the night in bed with us. We will give it another shot tonight, hopefully with better results. Some more pics below of Grace trying out her new bed.

Sick Princess
We had a fairly eventful week last week. It started with Grace's ongoing cold getting worse. She has had the cold for the past month (may have been two different colds) but last week it moved into her chest so we took her to the doctor. The doc confirmed that she has pnemonia. Sounds kind of scary but even pnemonia hasn't slowed our girl down much. The doc prescribed antobiotics so she is now on the mend.
For the past month or so Jen and I have been discussing moving Grace out of her crib and into a big girl bed. I have been a bit hesitant for fear that Grace will wake up in the middle of the night and wander into our room. I finally relented and we went out this past weekend and bought a mattress. It will get delivered this weekend so we have some time to talk-up sleeping in a big-girl bed. So far she seems excited. We'll see....
We had another sizable snow storm this weekend and this one was a really wet snow so we went out with Grace and attemped something we have been looking forward to for a while. Making a snowman. We present "Frosty" below.

Our Little Princess
One of Grace's favorite Christmas gifts was a little princess dress up set that we got her. We are not really sure where her obsession with princesses started as she hasn't seen any of the Disney movies yet but she loves anything with princesses on it. The set has three costumes, Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty and Grace needs to be wearing one or a combination of these contumes for all waking hours. Some pics of Cinderella (I think?) below.

Happy Holidays
I was hoping to post some pics on Christmas but we were pretty busy hosting our families on both Chrsitmas and Christmas Eve. Grace had so much fun this year. She really got excited about Santa coming and loved opening all of her presents. She actually doesn't get that Christmas is over as she keeps asking us if Santa is coming again. Jen and I have this week off so we will have some time to relax and enjoy some downtime and maybe complete a couple projects around the house. Some pics from the weeks festivities below.
