The many faces of Grace

Life has been so crazy around here, but we are soaking up every minute with our little love bug!

She doesn’t like to sleep (much), she fusses and cries from being too gassy, but she makes the BEST faces. So today I’m sharing her cuteness with you :)
This is her startled “I pooped” face
Her scrunched up sleeping face
Her bird face … looking for food!
A “content cause she’s with her daddy” face
“Ready for a nap” face
“semi-smile cause she slept” face

Her “I don’t want to wake up” face
Her newest face, cooing and talking away

Her “ready to go for a walk” face

It’s crazy how much she has changed and grown in just three short weeks! I love my little nugget so much <3

Our First Day Alone

I can’t believe that two weeks have gone by since Gracie was born! It all seems like such a blur of feedings, diaper changes and broken sleeps :)

Today, we are on our own though! I’m so thankful that Keith had two weeks off from work but now he has to go back. And today we get to venture out on our own to her two week weight check at the pediatrician’s office!
I’m a little bit nervous about juggling everything myself, but I’m also ready. I’m looking forward to getting into somewhat of a routine, just the two of us, and savoring each precious moment.
This FACE. Kills me :)

Wish us luck today! :)

Week One

We survived! Phew. I cannot believe it’s been an entire week since we brought Gracie home from the hospital! It has been an interesting and challenging week for sure. She’s getting to know us, and vice versa, but we are getting through it one day at a time!
When we left the hospital she weighed 7lbs2oz. By Monday she was 7lbs10oz and by Thursday, she was 8lbs1oz! Little chunk :) 
Can you tell ALL this kid wants to do is eat?! Our goal is to keep her fat and happy :)
Here are some photos of our first week home!
Passed out on her daddy
The first night home — snug as a bug in a rug :)

Look at those eyes!!!
I could kiss this face all day long
Going to the pedi for our first weight check!

Gunner came home on Tuesday, and that was definitely a big adjustment!! So far, he is doing great. He’s curious about her and gets nervous when she cries, but all in all, he is doing great. Even better, she seems completely unphased by him and anything he does or noises he makes. 
The look on his face is priceless!

Keeping watch, but still unsure

my sweet girl

not impressed with the headband but we love this onesie!

she’s getting #fatandhappy

She is still just the sweetest and cutest thing, that it almost makes up for how challenging it can be! 
I’m grateful to have help, and Keith is still home for another week and there are plenty of eager grandparents willing to give us an hour or two to ourselves :)
Until next time!
