On Sunday we celebrated mother's day a week early with the Simmons. We went to the Chicago Yacht Club where they were having a car show, followed by brunch and a sail on Jug Band. This was Gracie's first time sailing and she took to it like a pro (thank god!) At nap time we anchored her seat to the deck and she was quickly rocked to sleep by the waves. It was such a beautiful spring day. There is nothing quite like Chicago in the springtime, I love it!

On Saturday we went to visit Deirdre, Mark, and baby Carter. Carter is getting big just like me! We compared strategies for rolling over, and since I am a whole month older I showed him how to blow a raspberry. After that our parents took us to the park and Carter and I got to swing. What a day!

Life has been pretty much as usual here. Grace is getting bigger by the day. She rolls over both directions now and has started trying to scoot on her stomach to grab toys that are just out of her reach. She is such an active baby she never wants to sit still, I think she will be crawling soon. We also started feeding her peas this week. She makes a face but always cleans her plate!
