Just Being Cute

Heavyweight champion

Greta had her first weigh in yesterday since she was a measly 6 lb 7 oz at 6 days of age. She is now a robust 12 pounds. Not to be set back by her early arrival, she's now in the 90th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Here are some recent pics of our big girl.

Squeaky clean


With all of the recent rain we've had lots of time to play dress up. Here's a picture of Greta wearing one of Mama's old dresses.

Cousins!

Greta was able to meet some of her extended family last weekend when my Dennison relatives visited Atlanta. We had a great time catching up with everyone.

Etta, Riley, and Greta


Greta and cousins...not easy to get so many babies sitting on the couch at once. Greta was not too thrilled to have her feeding interrupted for this.

1 Month Down

We made it through the first month and Greta is thriving. Her ability to consume large quantities of milk at once may be an early sign that competitive eating is in her future. We're still working on a sleeping schedule, but she did once sleep for 3.5 hours straight during the night (woohoo!). Here are some recent pictures of the little one.

She has lots of good awake time now. We had just returned from a walk so she's a little rashy from the heat.


I caught a small smile while she was lying in her favorite spot on the changing table.

Aunt Cara

Today Greta's Aunt Cara came all the way down from New York to meet her. We had a great day hanging around the neighborhood and Greta just loved being in Cara's arms. Thanks so much to Cara for making the trek down to GA!

She has a mother's touch

Picnic in the Park

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood on Sunday so we decided to stroll down to the park.

Brooke & I ate Greta's weight in sandwich...

Aug. 21

It's hard to believe that today is Greta's due date. It seems like months ago when we were headed to the hospital for her arrival. We're so glad we got 2 1/2 more weeks with our little one. Happy due date, Greta.
