Two weeks old

It took forever and a day to get this shot. There are about a dozen in which Grace is looking away or moving or if she's not, Steve or I are doing something stupid like closing our eyes. I look way more tired than I actually am - Gracie just looks so cute in this picture that I'm posting it despite the fact that I look like I just opened my eyes.


Grace has been fuss-tastic the last few days, but today was a bit better so we're crossing our fingers that TJ's spicy black bean dip (so good!) is responsible, not that we have a grumpy baby. If she makes me cut out spicy foods, we may be in trouble, but for a few hours of peace I suppose I can do it for a year. That's just a little longer than pregnancy...

We are learning to embrace a slower pace - lots of long walks, reading, laundry, and rocking Grace. Sounds pretty good, actually.
