Big smiles.

Gwen was all happy faces yesterday so I had to catch as many as possible.

First toy.

Aunt Colette gave Gwen a really cute toy that has lots of colorful animals, and neat sound makers on it. She seems to be a baby that is going to need a lot of stimulation, so it's a great start.

Oh lord...first hicky already...

The funny part is she gave it to herself... =)

One month old and on vacation.

Gwen had her first vacation in Delaware for her cousin Jeffrey's highschool graduation. She spent time sleeping by the pool. She got to stay in a really neat and pretty beachhouse. She went to the beach for the first time. And she got to meet her Haycraft relatives.

Three Weeks. How time flies.

Belly Button.

Gwen's cord finally fell off, so she now has her very own belly button. An innie, just like her momma. =)

Meeting Big Sis!

Elizabeth's mom brought her up to the house today so she could meet Gwen. =) She walked in the door and just looked at her for a minute and said, "she's so pretty." I asked her if she wanted to hold her, and she said yes all excited. After a few tiny instructions I put Gwen in her arms and she handled it like a pro. It was all very cute. Then of course after a while Elizabeth was ready to play with Gracie. A baby who sleeps all the time just can't hold a candle to a dog that loves ya to death. Before they left Elizabeth asked if she could hold the baby again, and if she could come back to see her again soon. Maybe a future babysitter... (crosses fingers)

Gwen had her first doctors visit yesterday. Happy to report that he said she seems to be doing just great. Her weight was 6 pounds 9 oz. Which means she lost 3 oz, but the doctor said weight loss is normal and there is nothing to worry about. Her length was 19 and 3/4 inches, so since we know she hasn't shrunk half an inch ( they said she was 20 and 1/4 at the hospital) the nurse said they probably had a hard time getting an accurate reading right after she was born considering she wasn't a happy camper and yelling her head off. So she isn't quite the bean pole we thought she was. =) We have to go back next week to recheck her weight just to make sure she isn't losing too much. Over all I'm happy with what they had to say.

Two Weeks Old Today.

Bath Time.

Unfortunately this isn't Gwen's first bath, or even her second. I've learned my lesson to have a camera handy. BUT it is the first bath given to her by her Grammy.

Meeting Aunt Maggie and Grandma Peggy.

Maggie had a blast tickling Gwens face and toes trying to get the sleepy head to wake up. And Gwen was completely content curled up in her Grandma's lap.

One for the history books.

Yep, that's right folks, a sight you will most likely never see again. Brenda and Travis holding an actual, real live baby. =)

Gwen's personal guard dog.

Gracie loves her baby. At least for now. =) She has no clue that years of ear and tail pulling are in her future.

Gwen met her Pops.

Bruce got home, picked up the baby, and basically wouldn't share for the rest of the night. Gwen also went out in public for the first time to Cracker Barrel, where Bruce held her even while he ate. I think somebody is smmmiittteeen. =)

One week OLD!

Birth Day

Ok, so this pic is up on Kristy and Clint's page, but it's from when she was a day old. And I'm planning on having a weekly close up of her face on here so this is numeral uno 1!

Baby's fun place.

Hey everyone. Right now it's pretty plain and empty, but this is going to be the home of Gwen's updates in the future. I don't have any new pictures yet besides the ones that Kristy has already shown, but I will work on that soon.
