One Month Old!

Grace is now a month old (well actually 5 weeks cause I'm a little late on posting this)! We can't believe how much she's grown already! She's about 10 pounds now and growing like a weed! It's amazing to watch her become more alert and active. She smiles a lot and really interacts with people. She's a snuggler so she loves to be held and make faces at whoever is holding her.

Here are Grace's one-month pictures...she wasn't thrilled :-)

She wanted to cover up her face.

Dad stepped in to help pose, but she really just wanted to sleep instead.


 She definitely has a personality!

We've had lots of people come and visit since Grace was born. It's been really fun to have family come in town to meet the new arrival! Somehow I didn't end up with pictures of everybody (I think that's what happens when you're sleep-deprived and other people have cameras...you only take a few random pictures), but both sides of the family got to come see Grace! We had such a great time!

Happy grandparents

She loves Aunt Carrie!

Maggie is getting used to having a baby in the house. She's doing great but of course still wants lots of attention as always. Some things never change!

She's a very photogenic dog.

Grace enjoys her play mat.

But Maggie enjoyed it more!

Grace's cute smile!

My mom came down to help out last week and we got to go to the Mount Pleasant Christmas parade (which was huge and really fun!). I can't believe it's the holiday season already! Christmas is coming soon and we are so excited! It'll be great to spend the first Christmas with Grace. She probably won't remember much of it, but we'll have fun :-)

Decorating the tree!

We are getting adjusted to being parents, but as always please keep us in your prayers! We have so much to learn and God has been teaching us so much as new parents. I can't imagine those late nights without prayer! We can't say enough how thankful we are for all the things God has given us, from an amazing daughter to a supportive family to great new and old friends! Thank you and we hope you have a blessed Christmas!
