Juicy Baby

Grace dressed up for New Year's Eve in some Juicy Baby Couture. Although she looked super chic, Daddy wondered if she looked more like a mini Austin Powers than a baby fashion plate. In the afternoon she met her Great Aunt Lauren and Uncle Laurie from London, and we took a stroll through Central Park. Afterwards, she tested out her toy mat and loved it.

Tonight Gracie hit the bottle hard and partied into 2008. Happy New Year!

Lazy Sunday

Grace slept in today and then got ready for a day of visitors. She put on the outfit she wore home from the hospital, and it fit! Crazy how big she's gotten; it was huge just three weeks ago. Aunt Meredith stopped by in the morning, and in the afternoon, Gracie met Meredith & Daniel, Chris & Ellen and Jesse & Dan.

Three Weeks Old

In the past week, Grace has become more alert, hungry, smiley (the smiles are random, but they still count!) and hands-on with keeping/catching her pacifier. Her eyes can follow her whoozit toy now, too. She's grown a lot; we even retired one of her footies.

Today Grandpa, Mom-mom, Grandma, Aunt Katie, Uncle Teddy and Aunt Dina visited. Lisa & Julie Brander and Nikki & Adam Goldstein also stopped by. At the end of the day, Grace and Daddy watched the Giants/Pats game together. Week 3 Album.

Friday

Grace spent the morning napping so she'd have awake energy to meet Uncle Jeff and Aunt Dolores and spend some quality time with Mom-mom and Grandpa.

Stripes Stripes Baby

After her bath tonight, Daddy dressed Grace in an all stripes outfit. She looked adorable and very comfortable in her evening loungewear.

First Visit to Central Park

Grandma and Aunt Katie came to visit today, and we all took Baby Grace on her first stroll through Central Park. At the end of the day, Judy and Rich Kinderman stopped by to meet her, but we forgot to take a picture...oops!

Chateau D'yquem Sunday

Mom-mom and Grandpa came in from Philly today, and Aunt Meredith trekked uptown. We all toasted Baby Grace with a very special, very incredible bottle of Chateau D'yquem Grandpa had been saving to savor in her honor. In the late aftenoon, Aunt Myra and Uncle Aaron visited, and Grace was happy to meet them!

2 Weeks Old

Gracie took her first bath today and liked it a lot better than the sponge-downs she has been getting. Then Lauren Toretta and Danielle Anderson came over to meet her! Week 2 Album.

Baby Elephant Friday

Grace put on her new baby elephant outfit today, and she looked so cute. In the early afternoon, Meryl Levin came to visit and, coincidentally, brought her an awesome elephant print onesie and stuffed elephant doll. Afterwards, Gracie strolled down Park Avenue with Daddy and Mommy. Before her bath, the baby had the chance to meet Scott and Kate. She was so glad they stopped by!

Just Ducky

Today Gracie enjoyed time in her bouncey seat from Great Grandma Bess. She also enjoyed meeting Alex Picciano and Jill Steinberg.

For dinner, Gracie donned her schnazzy matching bib and footie (Aunt Enid doesn't mess around when it comes to dressing and dining in style!) and hung out with Uncle Teddy. Then she changed into her new duck nightgown.

Wednesday

Gracie went for a walk and wore ears for the first time today. She also met Cousin JoJo and Andrew Texeira. After her bath, she put on her green nightgown and cuddled with Daddy before going down.

Tuesday on The Town

Grace went to Lester's and Baby Gap today. Here she is in her sweater...getting geared up for the outdoors. At first she didn't love strolling, but once we got moving she took a nap.

Manicure Monday

Today was a nice, relaxing day for little Gray. She ate and slept a lot.

Here is a pic of her - before her bath - in the rocking chair Grandpa refinished and reupholstered. This chair is very special because it's what Mom-mom used to rock Mommy and Aunt Meredith.

After her bath, Grace got her second manicure/pedicure. Grandpa gave Grace her first mani/pedi in the hospital.

Below is Grace with Daddy, cuddling before her evening feeding.
