A Smile for GiGi

We visited Grace's great-grandma GiGi in Loma Linda today. She did pretty well for an hour-long car ride and greeted GiGi with a big smile...like this one.

Auntie Ashley

Sunday night is 'Italian night' at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Grace loves visiting Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Ryan and Auntie Ashley because everyone loves to hold her and play with her. Too bad she can't eat the yummy food yet, but all in good time:)

Nana & Papa

Nana & Papa came by to visit Grace this weekend. Papa just got back from Argentina so he hadn't see Grace for over two weeks. Nana enjoyed giving her a bottle and we dressed her up in one of the cute outfits she's already outgrowing.

Tummy Time

Besides eating, sleeping, being held (loves it!) and pooping, Grace likes to spend her time swinging, watching her mobile, playing on her activity mat, watching us eat or cook, and doing exercises like the one seen here - tummy time. She's also starting to reach out and touch things like the monkey on her activity mat and our faces.

I Love my Daddy

This is one of my favorite pics from Christmas. Grace loves her daddy and always has a huge smile ready for him when he comes home from work.

Changing Table Chats

Grace loves to smile, coo, gurgle and "talk" to us when she's having her diaper changed. I call them our "daily conversations". Last weekend, she laughed at Mike & I for the first time. It was so cute and exciting that I actually had tears in my eyes.

Introduction

Grace Isabella was born on November 1, 2007 at 3:05 am. She weighed 6 pounds, 13 ounces and was 20 inches long. At 11 weeks and 11 pounds now, Grace has grown and changed so much in her first 2.5 months. I like to email photos regularly to friends and family but I thought it would be nice to capture some special moments in a central online location......and so 'Life with a little Grace' begins.
