Grace at home

These pictures are from a couple of months ago. We have some much more recent ones we'll be posting soon. Hopefully these give you some idea of how much fun it is to have Grace in our family. She is an incredible little girl, pretty mellow most of the time but ready to smile or giggle at any moment. The best thing in the world is getting her laughing hard! She has always been very alert and curious about the world around her.

She has recently picked up several cute habits, like copying us when we shake our heads or nod or stick out our tongues. She likes to tilt her head to the side when she looks at you. And she recently got her first tooth!

Thank you for all the prayers about her appetite. They have been heard. Since we got back from Montana, Grace has been a very steady eater, regularly downing whole bottles (which was rare before). She has put on some weight. She will probably always be petite, but she has definitely filled out a bit. In the last few weeks, she has finally started to really enjoy eating baby food, too. She has always been a good sleeper, and still makes it all the way through the night.

She's just doing great, and we're loving every day with her. It was hard for me to start leaving her everyday when I went back to work the last few weeks. I got spoiled this summer, having all day with her!
