7 weeks!

Can't believe 7 weeks has gone by! And yet at the same time so many things have changed. I know that technically you are a newborn for the first three months, but Grace just seems to have outgrown the newborn phase! She is officially in size 0-3 clothes! All the newborn things (with an exception of a few pants which she still fits) have been put away for good! She looks a little small in some of the clothes, but the newborn outfits were starting to look stretched! Here we are, notice how attentive she is!

Grace has also fallen in love with yawning. She always loved to stretch but now she gives good yawns while she is doing it! I wonder what developmentally makes you learn to yawn? I tried a couple times to see if yawns really were contagious - I would yawn right near her and loudly - but she didn't seem to pick up on what I wanted her to do! lol. She is still smiling often, but we are waiting to see the first real responsive smile. I want her to recognize us! But I know she will in time. =) She sure does recognize Dad's chest as a safe place to sleep! hehe

I had to take another picture with her and her pink bear. I can't believe how big she looks next to it now. In her one week pictures she was the same size as the bear! How is that possible???

Thought this was so funny! Of course she sleeps in her crib - but we were getting ready for our nightly story book! Bean is still a little confused by someone else being in the bed! She is used to being the only thing under 15 lbs in the bed! haha

She is so beautiful. Of course we would love her no matter what, but every time we look at her we are amazed. How could the two of us create something so perfect. Obviously there is a God involved! Who could argue? Look at her. =)

Grace is getting in her tummy time with Daddy's close eye. She has a "rain ball" that makes noise when you turn it like a rain stick. Daddy puts the ball close by Grace's arm and she hits it away, not sure if she even knew what she was doing, but it sure did tickle Daddy and Mommy!

Grace got to meet her Great-Grandmommy Knapp! (J-Pa's Mom) The love just poured between the two of them! Grace is so lucky to have so many people love her so dearly!

Of course Mimi gets all the pictures where Grace is just smiling up a storm. She just LOVES her Mimi! I just love this picture!

Another one just admiring her Mimi - is there anything better then this??? =) Plus I think Mimi was wearing really cool shiny earrings which really caught her attention!

J-Pa "resting his eyes" yup, he has adjusted to the grandfather role perfectly! haha

Our beautiful boy. Don't worry we remember that we loved you first!

4 generations of girls!

J-pa admiring his first born's first born. =) Tongue twister!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We also went out for a little photo shoot in the fall leaves. We needed some family pictures for our Christmas cards this year. We got so many good shots thanks to Uncle Taylor's eye and J-Pa's fancy camera! =) Here are just a few of our favorites!

Of course had to get at least one of the WHOLE family!

Well that wraps up the week! She is growing so fast it is hard keeping up with all the changes. We feel so blessed each day to call her ours. We love you little girl. =)
