More about Grace



At 2 weeks old, Grace is 21 inches long, 8 lb 10 oz, with a head circumference of 34 cm. That means she is in the 75% for height, 60% for weight and 10% for head size. Grace has very long arms, fingers, legs, feet and toes. She has pretty good muscle control of her head and neck, more so than most newborns and can already roll over from her tummy to her back. She is very comfortable on her tummy and prefers to nap that way, in fact she won't really lay on her back without incessant fussing. This makes it hard to leave her sleeping or napping, so the compromise is that she spends a lot of time snoozing in her swing. She loves to look outside. No matter where she is, she will find the window and just stare at the sky.

Hannah is still stuck on the name Diamond but now she calls her baby Gracie Diamond or if you ask Hannah her full name it's Grace Isabel Diamond Simmons. Brian has also given her the nickname Gracie Girl or GG for short.

I'm so amazed at how instantly this tiny girl has become part of our family and how much we love her already!

Sarina's been asking when we can go to Hannah's house and meet her baby sister. :) What is it with girls and babies? Jadon never would've asked that question!
