	Grace is now 20 months old and becoming such a big girl!  She still loves playing with her animals and her kitchen and really enjoys looking at all kinds of books.  I think she is so happy to be back in a routine of seeing her playmates, going to the library, reading a bedtime story, etc.  Having a new baby in the family definitely threw us all for a loop.  Right now she loves watching a PBS show called Zoboomafoo, which features lots of animals and a friendly lemur.  She is trying to say just about everything.  I read somewhere that kids this age learn a new word every 90 minutes.  Better be careful what we say around her! Jack is now 11 weeks old.  He was 12 lbs 4 oz and 24 inches long at his 2 month doctor visit.  This puts him around the 75th percentile for baby boys.  He is growing up so fast...already trying to hold up his head, cooing, smiling, laughing a little, and getting so chubby!  He is still nursing about every 3 hours during the day, but stretching it to 4-6 hours at night.  He goes to bed around 7 pm and sleeps til around 7 am, waking to nurse but then going right back to sleep (usually!)  Right now he loves to listen to me making kissing noises, watch smiling faces, take a bath, and lay under his arch of hanging toys.  He is only doing serious diaper business (if you know what I mean) about once a week, but the doctor said this is fine as long as it seems normal.  We had portraits of both kids made the first week in January at JCPenney.
