Five Weeks

Grace was not looking too happy when I took these pictures, but I just love her skinny, little chicken legs!

Road Trip and a Wedding

Rachel got married when Grace was four weeks old, so we made the trip down to California to be there.  Grace was a great little traveler (she pretty much slept the whole way down).

And even better yet, she slept through the ceremony and reception.  Thanks Grace!

Four Weeks

I love Grace's left leg in this picture.  She didn't move around that much when I was pregnant, but she did always kick in the exact same spot with her left leg, and she hasn't stopped.  She always has it stretched out or kicking.  And you can tell by the curve of her leg that things were pretty cramped in the womb.

Carter family visit

--> My sister Rachel graduated from BYU-Idaho a three weeks after Grace was born, so I got to see my family when they came up for that.  It was pretty nice having some helpers around (thanks for always filling my water bottle, Mom), and it was nice to get a little more sleep.

 The temple is right across the street from us.

Three Weeks

Two Week Appointment

I am pretty sure Grace did her first (real) smile while we were in the waiting room.  Hard to say for sure since she was only two and a half weeks old, but it seemed like she smiled at me (not just in general).

 "Don't let them take me!"

Stats:

Height: 20.75in (75%)

Here's a picture of Grace in a post-shot-huddle.  She did so well.  She barely even cried.

A little Weed

Sometimes Grace makes faces that remind me so much of Bryan.  Her concerned face is one of those faces.  I think it's the furrowed brow.
