Another week already gone and I can see changes in her already. Is it just because she is our last that I realize how fast the time flies. I'm trying to notice every little thing...not just with Gracie, but with all of the kids. They all do so many cute and fun things throughout the day, I don't want to miss any of it. Tyler and Zach are already so big, it is bittersweet. I love that they like doing their own thing and don't need my help anymore, but I realize more every day that I can't get back their cute, innocent baby & toddler stage. Alexis is right at the most fun age and is so full of personality it hurts. She says and does the funniest stuff and is always on the move...look out. I love it though. She had a rough week and needed a lot of attention last week (a lot more than normal-I didn't know I could sit in a rocking chair and rock a 2 year old while I nursed a newborn) but has settled back down this week. I'm so glad because I've been able to enjoy my little girls a lot more. We even painted some tiny tootsies hot pink! Gracie is already growing. She was 7 lbs, 2 oz. at her 2 week checkup. She almost gained a whole pound! I swear she is eating straight cream! Her little cheeks are filling out, but they are so cute. She is still so snuggly and sweet. And she is smart. She will sleep in her bouncer all day, but at night she won't have it. She knows I'll come and get her and hold her all night, just how she likes it. I can't help it though, it is so sweet! Plus we have Allie coming in to our bed 10 times a night so what is the difference, right??? She has started grabbing at our fingers and her binkie this week and can focus a lot better. She will even smile when she knows who she is looking at (mostly her dad). We love her so much...here is to another week.
She loves her bath, but hates getting her hair washed.
And she really loved taking a bath with her big sister. Allie thought it was pretty fun too! She even tried to share her bath toys.
Getting ready for school. She loves chillin in her little boppy chair.
Just hanging out waiting for the boys to leave so the girls can rule the house.
She is super funny..any time I take a picture her eyes do this. It doesn't matter what I do. It is so funny, but I still think it is cute!
I can't believe we have an 8 year old! Tyler has been so excited for his baptism and it was the perfect way to start off the new year. He thinks it is so cool that he got baptized the first day of the year. He looked so grown up in his suit and was smiling from ear to ear all day. I wish I could have taken a picture right when he came out of the water. It's the biggest I've ever seen him smile. He is such a good kid and has tried so hard the last few months to be so grown up and responsible and helpful. We are so blessed to have him in our family and our kids are so lucky to have him as the biggest brother. We love you Tyler and are so proud of you!
