Super Sunday

Grace rocked out in baby camoflage today. She also met a lot of important people: Burke & Rabia, Justin & Brigit, Andrew & Janelle, Ryan, Walter and Neil & Erin. Aunt Meredith stopped by to say hi, too. After everyone left, she put on her cute pink nightgown (see pic w/Mommy) and called it a day. Thanks, everyone, for coming to visit!

One Week Old

Grace celebrated her one week old birthday by hanging out with family and friends this afternoon. One Week Old Album.

Henley and Xabi stopped by to meet her.

Uncle Teddy, Aunt Dina, Uncle Zac, Grandma and Great Grandma Bess came over, too.

Just as the family was leaving, Abby and Jeremy arrived. Baby Grace woke up and smiled a lot for Abby. We teased that she could sense Abby's twin boys.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of Baby Leslie (L) at one week and Baby Grace on day 3 (R); Baby Grace at one week (BL) and Baby Alex (BR). Grace looks a lot like her daddy, but she's definitely mommy in the eyes. At least so far...

Grace's First Outing

Grace was preppy in brown and pink tweed today. It was the perfect warm outfit for her first outing. For more pics: First Outing.

After a stroll and a doctor's appointment, Gracie was totally pooped. She managed to be alert for Jenn's visit though and was particularly responsive to her voice - it was really cool. After Jenn left, Grace washed up, changed into her green nightgown and watched some of The Lord of The Rings.

GVG's First Photo Album

We finally uploaded the photos from last Saturday. To view, click Grace Violet Gleser's First Photo Album.

Thursday

Today was a great day for lil' Grace. She is already developing her sense of humor. For example, this afternoon she pooped on Daddy while he was changing his first messy diaper. LOL. She is also working on her hand/eye coordination; Gracie officially found her hands and sucks on them when she wants to tell us she's hungry.

At the end of the day, she enjoyed the company of two very important visitors: Jen & Nicole. They cuddled her and spoke to her, and she loved it.

After they left, Grace changed in her pink striped nightgown and got ready for bed.

Grandma Visits

Grandma came to visit today, and lil' Grace was so good. She ate, cuddled and slept on a three hour schedule, and every time she woke up she was happy to play by herself - eyes wide open. Here she is wearing Alex's favorite outfit. After all, a girl needs to wear more than just pink!

First Day at Home

Baby Grace had her first full day at home, and it was a lot of fun. She was cute as a cupcake in this outfit from Sami & Michael.

She especially enjoyed time hanging out with Daddy.

After a day of high fashion, eating, sleeping and cuddling, she changed into some cozy loungewear from Aunt Enid and Grandma Debbie.

To top off all the excitement, she spent some quality time with Aunt Meredith before calling it a day.

Baby Grace

Grace Violet Gleser was born at 7:09am on Saturday, December 8th. She weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces and is 20 inches long. She is so delicate and cute, and we're thrilled she is finally here! We got home tonight and promise to upload an album shortly. In the meantime, here are some highlights of Gracie's first few days. To enlarge the photos, click to zoom.

Snowy Second Day Overdue

Still feeling very comfortable and went down to Battery Park City where I met Henley for lunch at Kitchenette.

Due Date

In about 5 hours, my due date will be over - so it looks like Baby G is going to be late. I had a sonogram today, and the baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 10 ounces! The tech also captured some amazing 4D images. Click to zoom.
