Gracie Mae is getting BIG! Gracie will be 6 months old on the 10th and she is now a little over 14 pounds. Gracie is doing great holding her head up and really interacting with everyone. Olivia can help but be in her face all day long. Gracie really likes when you sign to her. She is all smiles. Kim and I set up Olivia's old crib for Gracie as she has out grown her circle baby crib. Gracie sleeps through the night now most nights depending on when she falls asleep. If she goes down too early she may get up for a midnight snack, but that's not too bad. Like her sisters, she's a sleeper.
Gracie does really well in the Bjorn now too facing forward she gets to see all the action. Kim took her to COSTCO the other day and all the action wore Gracie out. She slept for hours afterwards.
Sophia is developing quite a personality these days. She is on the cusp of talking and communicates a lot with her hands and her baby blues. If you tell her "NO" she gives you such a look, you wish you hadn't. We broke into the park down the street last week (its not officially open yet) and Sophia got right into the big kids stuff. She is a daredevil on the jungle gym and slides. You never know what way she is going to come shooting out of the covered slides. Half of the time she comes flying out upside down. Either way though she comes flying out with a big smile and a giggle. Sophia has a few words that she uses like shooz, fish, more, ball and some random babbles that only Kim and I can decipher. I guess there's not a lot of incentive to talk when you have "Chatty Cathy" for a big sister.
Olivia had her third birthday last week, but I think she qualifies to be a 10 year old. We had a party here at the house with all the kids from Nanny's. There are a lot of pictures below of the party fun. Olivia got a really cute vanity from Mom-Mom that talked to her. It has all the stuff a little princess needs to get ready for the day.
Kim got a princess ice cream cake from ColdStones that was a big hit. 
The biggest hit of the day was the Disney Princess bouncer that Kim got for the kids to play in. Olivia went to the doctor for her 3 year check up the other day and impressed the doctor with her conversation to the point the doctor said she has the language skills of a 4 year old. He asked her if an elephant was big than a mouse was??? and she said "little". And if fire is hot, then ice is??? and she said "Cold". I then asked if she was ready to take the SATs? She weighs 27 lbs. and is 35 inches tall.
Today we took the girls to a pumpkin patch and Kim dressed them in some really cute Halloween outfits.
Phia enjoyed the hay stack maze and got some help from big sis to find the way out. Olivia and Sophia went into a petting zoo and Olivia got to ride a pony. We got a bunch of pumpkins for carving and decorating the house for Halloween.
