Picnic and the Sierras

Kathy packed a picnic lunch, and then Mom and Grace met dad at work where we went across the street to the park and had a picnic. Afterward, we took a little trip up to the Sierra Nevada’s.

5 Week Doctor Visit!

Well, the A+ grades from the doctor are getting to be a regular thing. Today was a great check-up and we had lots to talk to the doctor about …some changes in formula, a mild case of reflux and a tad of help getting the poops a bit more regular. May sound like a lot, but not really, all very minor and she’s doing great!

Best of all, she is really putting on the weight!? 8lbs 8oz today …that is 1lb and 9oz more than when she was born. Exciting for sure!? But, also a tad sad to see our little peanut grow up so fast 🙂

April 14th and SNOW

Well apparently the Global Warming fools didn’t tell mother nature …

After some wonderful spring-time weather here in Reno ..Today April 14th we’re getting some nice snow!? Grace’s first time feeling the snowflakes land on her chubby little face …and honestly, she wasn’t sure what to make of it!

Easter

We purposely made no big plans for Easter weekend.  Instead relaxed and just spent nice time.  That was the best because Grace is too young to appreciate any fancy Easter functions. This turned out to be a very nice weekend.

April -Things are happening so fast.

Grace turned 4weeks old ….then 5weeks old.  Things are happening so fast and hard to keep up. Wonderful little girl, but fussy some of the time. We can’t believe how fast our little peanut is growing up.

OH MY!!! **TERRIBLE SUNBURN**

Spring was here and Mom and Dad got a bit overzealous —

Took Grace out for some sunbathing where she got 3rd-degree sunburn on her face -everything except where her hat protected her delicate skin.

Please, we’re begging family and friends to not call Child Protective Services, as they’ll surely take our baby away!!

Terrible sunburn --except the top of her head where Grace's hat protected her skin.

Cake for Mom, Grumpy Grace …..

Mom’s birthday had arrived and Dad and Grace were not as organized as they would have liked. Fancy dinner plans for mom and dad were postponed -Everyone has been very tired as Grace has been pretty fussy as of late.  Still cute, still doing great -but not sleeping on any good schedule.  We’re trying all the smart things to get her on schedule, but not much luck.  Lately she only wants to sleep for about 30minutes at a time -we’re all exhausted!

Another Bath; Late-Night Aerobics and Misc Stuff

Grace continues to change everyday ….yet so many characteristics remain the same, -some becoming even more defined. She’s still very active at night and we hope to get her off of that schedule. She pretty much goes into hibernation during the day. We’ve kept her on the new baby formula that is supposed to help her be a little less ‘gassy’ and perhaps that is helping.

Just a few videos and pics over the last few days:

Here is a video of Grace doing bath#2 …you can see she’s getting a bit better 🙂 …and you’ll see she has already learned how to make a natural jacuzzi!

And here a video:? Grace does what she does best ….active and full of spunk (and fussiness) late at night. This is her time -when everyone else is trying to sleep.
