Allison at 1 month.

At one month, Allison:

is a pretty good sleeper. She doesn't like sleeping in the bassinet as much as Gracie did. We are trying to keep her in her own bed more than in our bed.

enjoys the bouncy seat. She hangs out on the dining room table to keep her out of reach of her big sister.

is starting to notice her surroundings more each day. She loves to lay on the couch and stare up at the wall that has shelves on it.

"talks" a little bit.

is quite the grunter. She is a noisy sleeper! I don't think we could survive with her in our room if we didn't run a fan to block out the noise!

is usually very content. She isn't really fussy unless she needs something.

wears a mix of newborn and 0-3 month clothing. She is about to outgrow newborn size diapers.

generally wakes up to eat twice during the night.

Sunday.

This is a cute picture, of a cute girl, who really needs a bath. This girl hates her bath so I really have to gear up for it. Daddy said not to give her a bath while he is at work--something about Gracie needing extra emotional support... =P She will be getting a bath when Daddy gets home from work. Absolutely. What else had Gracie been up to? She is starting to recognize us. She will occasionally look up at me and smile. Other times she looks at me like "who are you again?". Yeah. She is starting to "talk" a little bit. She can get her fist up to her mouth and suck on her hand. Sometimes. She will lay on the floor on her blanket for short periods of time. She hung out in her swing for a little while this morning. She loves to be in the sling . Unfortunately, she has been fighting some tummy issues. She was getting more formula and I think it was upsetting her tummy. Big time. So, we are back to just nursing. That has helped some but she still get "the gases...

Gracie Arrives.

I have been meaning to get into the habit of posting. I think about it every day. Then, the day gets away from me. But, I know there is so much that I am going to want to remember so I am going to try really hard to get something posted every week-day. May as well set the bar high, right? =) So, I thought I would start with a recap of Gracie's birth. Wed Oct 15th: We have our 39 week doctor appt. We are scheduled for an ultrasound before the dr visit. The ultrasound shows that the baby is 8 pounds 14 ounces. Mommy is a little stunned and has a hard time getting up and leaving the office. We see the dr and he explains that the baby could be one pound bigger or one pound larger than the weight the ultrasound showed. Either way we are looking at an 8-10 pound baby. Mommy is still in shock. The dr checks me and determines that nothing is really happening and things are not favorable to induce the baby. We can wait and see if I go into labor or we can schedule a c-section. If we get...

Beach Friday.

Gracie has been asking to go to the beach lately and today was the day. We packed up our beach toys, blanket and sunscreen and headed to check out Imperial Beach. We found a great (free) parking space. We loaded the stuff and the girlies into the double jogger and hit the beach. We played for about an hour and they girlies had so much fun. Gracie even wanted to walk down to the water and put her feet in!--that water was COLD! We can't wait to go back SOON.
