I missed it! 4 & 5 weeks

I missed posting when Grace was 4 weeks old and today she is 5 weeks old. Where has the time gone?!?! It is amazing to me how much she changes from week to week. I don't notice it as much as others who are not with her day in and day out. These are some things that I have noticed that have changed... Grace is starting to get chubbier cheeks and some "fat" on her little legs, Grace can lift her head and turn it when laying on her stomach, Grace has slept on her tummy and done well, Grace has started having "daddy time" by taking a bottle at night with him, Grace now fits into more of her clothes, Grace can definitely tell who is holding her (she responds to voices), and Grace just loves all of the Christmas lights.

It might be hard in the middle of the night but we are loving every minute of being her parents!

3 weeks old

Yesterday Grace was officially 3 weeks old. We had to take her back to the doctor for a check up and to make sure that her jaundice level had stayed down. Good news, it has!! She also is gaining weight and growing like she should be. At birth Grace was 5lbs 12oz and as of yesterday she is 6lbs 5 oz. It was such a relief to know that she is growing and getting enought to eat. It is so hard to tell since I am breastfeeding her.

Grace is starting to have more awake time and respond to our voices. She also tries to lift her head and I am sure that in the weeks to come, she will master this.

During the past week, Grace had a lot of "firsts". She visited the farm, met Uncle Aaron, met the Balentyne family, traveled to Kewanee, met Uncle Jesse and Maria, and went to church. She did well in all of the situations.
