growing fast!

well, our little 5 lb girl is now a whopping 8 lbs 4 ozs!! still petite though. the premie panits now fit her but are a little short. we just call them capris :). The new born pants are too long so we roll them :) Every day she is more amazing... her personality, the way she smiles (oh yes, she smiles), even the prizes in her diaper (AMAZING!).

She has had many visitors the past couple weeks. Grandma Lacoste, Aunt Teresa and Cousin Barratt all drove from Idaho to visit. Including Aunt Eileen from Oregon. Gracen also had a long visit from Noni Coiner. Dave and I were blessed with many mornings of sleep as noni took gracen and entertained her while we snoozed (thank you noni!).

we are progressing well with tummy time. she lifts her head and looks around. Uncle Chuck had her scooting all the way across her mat the other day. She will definitely be crawling soon (watch out dogs!). the smiles come all the time (not just when she is passing gas) and she is great at entertaining herself while I get ready in the morning.

She took her first stroller ride this evening in her bright red stroller from Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bob. She loved it as she was able to see everything and not be cooped up in that car seat. She still is a little too small but with some "mcgyvering" we were able to prop her in.
