Grace is "talking" now...

I think this last week (when she hit 9 weeks) has been my favorite time with her so far. She's just been smiling so much more and she melted my heart the first time she "talked" to me last week while on her changing table. She's quite chatty (not at all like her mom right?!), and we caught a bit of it on video. Eat your hearts out Grammies!

I cannot get enough of this little girl!

So, having a new baby has been great and, uh...hard. Sometimes I still can't believe there's now this new little person we get to love on. It's just amazing. And I don't mean hard as in diaper changes and feedings. I mean hard as in I just can't be selfish. No longer can I just run errands with no other thought than what I NEED to get done, or spend a Saturday doing what I WANT to do. I am constantly thinking about Grace...and the change is as wonderful as it is difficult at times. I can only say that all of us at the Stockman's are growing in many different ways. It's good. We are so blessed with Grace!
