5 weeks!

Grace is 5 weeks old today and how the time is flying! She is so much more confident and sure of herself. We still occasionally see the newborn curl up into a tight ball, but more often she is kicking and reaching out. She is starting to have definite awake periods of the day, usually for an hour or so in the morning, then again in the afternoon for another hour or two. Then in the evenings after her dinner she is usually up for two or three hours. I am glad her most awake time is when her Daddy is home too! She is probably more awake then because it is so exciting to look at someone besides Mommy! hehe.



Athens is licking her toes in the next one. She has decided she does NOT like being licked!
Hanging out with Daddy and Mommy during her night time awake period!


I love her precious little toes! She did have socks on but she stuck them in her diaper while I was changing it! So... they had to go. Luckily it gave me a chance to get her tiny feet on film. =)


Uncle Taylor brought over a toy and diapers (YAY!!!) for her 1 month birthday (Friday during this week). Grace loves to be nuzzled by her uncle!
Our precious angel is still in newborn clothes. We did try on a 0-3 month to see if it would fit, but she was still swimming in it. So newborn clothes it is! For the first time this week we did have someone ask how old she was and when I said almost 5 weeks the response was "Wow she is tiny still!" I guess up to 5 weeks they expect you to be little, but when there are babies born at 8 lbs people guess she is younger!

Grace is also doing a lot more cooing and talking this week. We love hearing her little voice! This is from earlier this week, some of her first sounds! =)

As you can see, she is growing up a storm. We love you sweet girl! Keep growing healthy and strong.
