Three weeks and she's here!

The "real baby", that is. Grace has found her voice and is not afraid to use it!

Owen likes to help calm his little sister with a paci, his own lovey and a favorite book.

I think maybe she just likes the extra attention...

'It'

Owen is adjusting well to his new baby sister and loves to give her lots of attention. He also likes to keep us posted with what she's doing. O's vocabularly and speech is growing, but he doesn't quite get those third person pronouns... and so we hear alot about 'It'.

"It's waking!"... "It's talking!"... "It's crying!"... "It touched me!!!"
(I will keep trying to capture this on video.)

We love 'It'!!

Two weeks

Grace turned two weeks today and is doing very well! She has gained over a pound since we left the hospital and still spends most of her time sleeping. Well, with the exception of 3-5am- our little night owl's busy time! Now if only our daily 6am alarm clock had a snooze button...

Speaking of Owen, he is doing pretty well adjusting to big brotherhood- and all the extra special attention lately has definitely helped!

Happy Birthday Gram!

Best wishes for a very happy day and wonderful year. We love you!!

Thanks!!

An extra special Thank You to Uncle Mike and Aunt Abbie who came to stay with us and help out for a few days with meals, cleaning and most importantly- Owen. While they did get some quality time with baby Grace, Owen definitely monopolized their time and attention- super fun for him and a big help for us!

Thanks guys- you're the best!

Grace is 1 week old!

To celebrate her first week of life, Owen helped Aunt Abbie make a special cake.

Yes, that is icing on his spoon... Aunt Abbie is super nice!

Ta-da!

We love you Gracie!

First weekend home

This weekend we are settling in as a family of four and enjoying spending time with Baby Grace- who is doing great!
