First professional photo shoot

Grace was lucky enough to get her picture taken by good friend and expert photographer Maribeth Romslo (plug for Red Ribbon Studio--www.redribbonstudio.com) at just 3 weeks old. Here's just a brief sample of the results.

6 weeks old and all is well

Grace had her 6 week well baby check up with the doctor yesterday and she's doing great. She's grown to 22 1/2 inches long and weighs 11 lbs. 3 oz. No wonder she's too long for all of her newborn sized onesies--she's almost 2 feet tall! Other than that she totally healthy and happier every day.

She's started to smile in response to John and I and has started to take more of an interest in some of her toys. So it seems that she's able to entertain herself a little more as she's starting to develop.

john is wearing a shirt in less than 50% of the photos...?!

looking back at the entries over these last 5 weeks, the photos make is look like i'm constantly half nekkid around the house.

i guess that's coz i am - it's hot in here, people!

the tattoo kind of gives away the mirror action self portraiture. there were a lot more takes than these 2, but finally we got to something i think looks pretty great. i mean, i look a little crummy, but grace is incredible in both of these.
