I love you!

Oh, Grace, we love you so much!  Here are some current Grace-isms:

• "Where is the commodte?" (a.k.a, where is the remote?)
• "Laura eats off your booty, mom." (I should have called it a breast instead of a booby!)
• "When I was little..."
• "Mommy, you can [fill in the blank] because you don't have a baby in your belly!"

Laura's First Trip to the Farm

My mom and Mike left on June 22nd.  We had lunch with them before they left town and then we headed to the Farm for milk, cookies, and story time with our friends Myra and Siena.  Grace and Siena loved the story and the treat and Laura slept the entire time we were there.

Siena was all about volunteering!

Papa Mike and Mama

We were so blessed to have my mom and Mike here for almost a full month as we waited for Laura's arrival.  They were able to stay until the Friday after Laura was born and then headed back to Michigan.  We loved having them here and have missed them since they left!  Thanks for a great month!

Just Born

Aunt Megan got Laura these great stickers that we can put on onesies and take monthly photos with.  I had taken the "Just Born" one to the hospital but we couldn't get pics since we were in the NICU with our monitors.  So here are Laura's "Just Born" shots a few days after being born.

Grace Time

New babies are great but big sister's still need some attention.  Grace got just that with Mama and Papa Mike still here.  Here are pics from their trip to Chuckee Cheese's.

Alert!

Laura has been so alert--even during her first two weeks!

   Checking out her animals!

Bath time!

The scab on Laura's belly button fell off the second day we had her home (I freaked out!) so we got to have her first bath (and remove all of her NICU band-aids--so sad!)
