Gracie...

...is three weeks old! Is one happy baby! Is smiling (yes, you heard me right)! Is gaining weight; 8 pounds 2 ounces!

This picture Mark bought for me as a surprise when Grant was born. It was above Grant's changing table and now Grace's. He always was drawn to it and so is she (I think it's the black frame against the wall that she stares at). It's nice to have a happy baby while changing diapers!

I'm serious. Our little one has been smiling since week one. I know you are not going to believe me, but I have witnesses. It's hard to capture, since they're brief...but here is proof at week three of her little smiles!

Since figuring out feeding issues everyone is thrilled this baby is gaining weight! And what a content little girl Gracie is on a full stomach!

p.s. Grant is hard to capture these days as all his time is spent playing with grandmas and running up and kissing Grace on the face!

Aren't we all happier on a full tummy! That is amazing that she has been smiling for most of her life. Sounds like a good sign to me!

I love how her hat swallows her. It puts it in perspective how tiny she is. So cute Kim.

How cool that she can express her joy in being here...finally! You know something in these shots make me think she resembles your Mom.

I was going to say she looked like your Mom too! I TOTALLY believe that she has been smiling! Everyone told me 'it's just gas' and I didn't really believe it! Yay for Grace on growing :)!

I love that painting- what is it? It's hard to tell from the distance. I love how colorful it is. Grace is so cute.

I believe it! David smiled once or twice at 3 weeks for my mom, when she was out. But you've got Grace smiling all the time!

What a beautiful girl, and what lovely photos. You have such treasures! I've been lazy at keeping up on blogs and so I've just been treated to so many gorgeous shots of Grace and of your family. Love them!
