Oh Happy Day

Grace has been smiling a lot more these days, and she's especially happy in the mornings. She is also starting to copy-cat a bit when we stick out our tongues. It's really cute. Today she hung out in the apartment and took a walk in the afternoon.

Grace and Her Giraffe

Here is a picture of Grace with her new favorite toy. She loves it!

Friends & Family

Grace was lucky to have a handful of visitors today. David Perpich and Concetta stopped by in the early afternoon, and then Grandma, Teddy, Dina, Zac and Len & Judy came over.

The baby develops a little bit each day; she is paying more attention to her mobile, playmat and toys. It's really cool. She's also learning to cry when she wants to be held. Not so cool. Today she fussed a lot and didn't nap much so we took her for an early evening walk - she passes out the minute she gets outside. It worked...until we got home. Then she really freaked out. Again. Hope it's not a long night.

5 Weeks Old

Grace turned 5 weeks old today. We hung out in the apartment and went to the park in the afternoon. When we got back, we realized the side of Gracie's hat had made it's way to the front of her head. Above is a pic of her looking like a pirate. And here she is looking like Derek Zoolander doing Blue Steel. Click to zoom. Hilarious.

At the end of the day, Linda and Andrew Blau came by to visit. It was great to see them. Week 5 Album.

Stormy Friday

The thunder and lightening didn't faze Gracie a bit today. She slept through the storm like a baby. Maybe she'll grow up to like rainy days as much as her Mommy.

When Grace is asleep, her arms rest over her head. As Gracie's friend Kathy Davis has noticed, Daddy likes to have his arms over his head, too: when he's working, watching TV, you name it! Good call, Kathy. Too funny.

Pretty in Purple

Gracie looked so cute today in her Spring Flowers outfit from Kate Lavin and Scott Phillips. She had a good day: ate, napped, walked around the Upper East Side, played on her mat and saw Uncle Zac. However, the best part of her day was when Daddy got home. Grace was so excited - she missed him!

Baby In Red

Grace misses her Daddy a lot - he's been in San Francisco all week. She wishes she could have joined him, especially because he got to have dinner with Blaire and Mike last night. In honor of the future Mr. & Mrs. Morse, Grace put on this red hot, personalized outfit from them today. In the afternoon, she took a trip to Central Park and enjoyed the warm winter weather.

One Month Old

Grace celebrated her one month mark today. She went to the pediatrician, and we learned that she weighs 9 pounds, 2 ounces, measures 21.25 inches tall, has a head circumference of 36 cm and is in the 50th percentile. After visiting the doctor, we went to Central Park for lunch to enjoy the 60 degree weather. It was her first outside dining experience, and she loved it. Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Madison Avenue Monday

Gracie got bundled for her stroll down Madison Avenue today, and we visited Ralph Lauren Baby and Bonpoint. Later in the day she spent some quality time in her bouncey chair and hung out with Aunt Dina and Matt.

Visiting Day

This morning Grace was all smiles! Then she had a bunch of visitors. First she met Jennifer and Jake Sussberg. Here they are with Anne, Gracie's baby nurse - who was Jake's baby nurse 8 months ago.

Grace also hung out with Ryan Miller, Great Grandma Bess, Uncle Zac, Aunt Katie, Mike & Dan and Erin & Kareem.

Four Weeks Old

Grace is four weeks old today. She put on a big girl outfit from Baby Gap, took a walk to H&H with Mommy & Daddy, met Alex & Bara Tisch and Mark & Emily Mirahashemi, had a baby manicure and took a bath. What a great day! Week 4 Album.

Fun Friday

Grace gets bigger every day - it's amazing. She's nearly doubled in size since we brought her home. Looks at those cheeks! She's wearing 3-6 month clothing, eating 4.5 ounces and wearing size 1 diapers (goodbye, size "N"). Today Gracie had some important visitors: Roni, Aunt Enid and Cousin Greer and Kara & Dov Barnett. In other exciting baby news: our friends The Gimbels are expecting twins in July. Congratulations, Jon & Elana!!

Thursday

It was really cold today, and so we stayed warm in the apartment. Gracie had a relaxing day of eating, sleeping and playing in her bouncey chair. Good times.

Here she is with Daddy before bedtime. Good night!

Super Baby

Gracie can pat her head and rub her belly at the same time!

New Year, New Faces

Grace has been making tons of new faces. These are a few from today. This afternoon, Grace met Jillian and Alan and watched football. Good times!
