Four Weeks!!

I can't believe that Gracie is 4 weeks old today. About a week ago I was telling Matt that I'm not sure if this has been the longest few weeks of my life or the shortest. Now I'm determined that time is going by way too fast. Gracie is definitely getting bigger, she's starting to make more noises besides crying and she's alert a lot more.

She is starting to take her world in and it is neat to see. She likes to look at everything while she's awake. The neatest thing she does now is look at me and Matt. She can focus on our faces and I'm pretty sure she recognizes them. She also recognizes our voices and will calm down if she's crying and we call to her to let her know we're coming.

This is what her first month has looked like:

Two glorious weeks of Grandparents :)
One ride in the car to drop them off at the airport
A move from mom and dad's room to her nursery
One trip to Target
One trip to Walmart
Two trips to church
One trip to the Sellers (some friends from church)
One trip to the Ferguson's for Thanksgiving
One Aggie game on TV
Lunch at Don Pablo's
Several visitors
Lots of peeing on mom and dad
Her first bath in which she didn't sob the whole time
Time on her play mat
Lifting her head while she's on the mat
Lifting her head while she's looking over mom's shoulder
A few bottles (one from dad)
Lots of eating
Lots of sleeping
Lots of burping and some spit up
Lots of kisses and hugs from mom and dad
endless love growing in our hearts

What's on tap for this month:
Decorating the Christmas tree
Road trip to Louisiana and Texas
Meeting the rest of the family
Especially her Cousins (Brady and MacKenzie)

I have posted lots of pics on flickr page and have now started to take video too. The videos are all on my Vimeo page.
