Life

Yes, we are still alive! Just getting back into the swing of things after Gracie's birth and the busy holiday season!

We are absolutely LOVING having Gracie in our home. She is the sweetest, calmest, and happiest baby ever. She is very observant and wants to be a part of everything. She is sleeping 8 hours at night, along with a 4 hour nap during the day, 2 hours of which Aiden joins her. I am one happy mama!

Though Aiden mostly ignores Gracie, he is very sweet with her and gets very concerned when she cries. He is the first to run to her and stick a binki in her mouth when he hears a peep. He gives her lots of kisses and calls her Gracie Girl.

Though I make it sound like a magical experience, it has been a little rough! I like being able to get out of the house and run errands, or even join my friends for lunch or a movie, but that's not always possible with two kids! I have to remind myself of when I was in grad school a few short months ago, and after being away from Aiden a couple of hours during the day, the only thing I could think about was being home with him and Bryce. I am so grateful that I can be a stay-at-home mom, and that I am blessed with two sweet children!

Here are some pics from our stay at the hospital.

Gracie's first bath. She hated every second of it.

Gracie with her handsome daddy. We were laughing today as we looked at pictures of Aiden as a baby. We looked absolutely exhausted in all of our first few days of pictures! We must have figured it out the second time around because we look pretty well rested.

Mommy and baby. I love this little bundle.
