While the Grandparents were here, Archie got to help feed Grace a bottle while Daddy took Mama out to dinner.
I love getting pictures of our two kids together, but it's a little tricky since Archie isn't much for posing for pictures and his interactions with Grace are pretty short and pretty guided.
We love you, Aunt Kay, and wish you could've come, too! (We think Grace looks a little like she's getting ready to head to the gym in her headband, booties and the stylish onesie you gave her.)
These next two are Grace taking a rest during one of our intensive family photo shoots.
Grace is already a pacifier girl and a thumb/finger sucker (when she's able to be coordinated enough to maneuver the wanted digit into her cute little mouth).
OK, here's some info about Grace before we move onto Archie news:1. Grace is a great eater! (The doc even told us to cut back a little on length of feeding sessions after her 6-day checkup because she was gaining weight so quickly!)
2. Grace is a cuddly girl. She loves to be held (and Mama loves to oblige).
3. Grace is finally becoming more alert during the day. She is staying awake some after almost every daytime feeding cycle now. Maybe that will make night time sleep easier - YEA!!!
4. Grace is doing pretty well at night. She often hits one rough spot somewhere after one of her night time feedings where she cries for awhile and wants to be held rather than drifting back to sleep on her own. Sometimes she can put herself to sleep if she's swaddled with a pacifier. It takes practice.
What's up with Archie? He had fun eating ice cream at Swenson's. (Baby Grace just slept in her infant swing on the table.)
He also loves his Baby Genius Nursery Rhymes video. We have to limit his computer time.
He is getting to be quite helpful. Although sometimes his mopping job of the floor (which he LOVES to do) leaves something to be desired, he can bring me baby blankets upon request and throw dirty diapers away. Mama's so proud of her big boy!
