Baby Grace: One Month Old

Wow. It's been one month since Grace joined our family. In some ways it seems like it hasn't been a month...and in others...it seems like this is the way it always was. Kind of.

Anyway...here are some things that are going on in Grace's life right now...

• She eats about every 3 hours during the day. We try (try being the operative word here) to eat...then play (i.e. keep her awake without crying)....then nap....then start it all over again 3 hours later with the eating. This doesn't always happen, but what we aim for. :)
• At night she sleeps anywhere from 2-4 hours at a time. It seems that she sometimes ends up having a dirty diaper (a pretty big one at that) during her sleep, it wakes her up....sometimes only an hour after she went back down. Also- she's been getting pretty congested while sleeping...so this has been waking her up, too. Bless her heart....as tired as I am in getting up the extra times...I can tell that she is just as tired. So once we get the snot/boogers out...she will usually (usually being the operative word here) will go right back to sleep.
• She is starting to smile some....I would like to believe it is purposeful, but not fully convinced of this yet. :) But she looks so cute when she does.
• She enjoys her pacifier when we are putting her to sleep. And her daddy is the best at getting her to sleep.

And big sis had to get in on the action when we were taking pictures of Grace in her growth chair. And funny....it seems lately we are having trouble keeping her clothes on. ;)
