Gracyn Faith is One Month



I can't believe that my baby is already a month old. Time flies and it feels like she has just always been here. Although, we of course have had some crazy, chaotic moments, it has been so easy bringing her home. She just fits into our family. My big girls have done great with their new roles and they just can't get enough of baby sister. Here are a few things about my girl at one month.
~She has the sweetest little rolly-polly legs and arms. She is getting rollier everyday!
~She WILL NOT take a paci, and Mommy doesn't know what to do with that! I have tried every trick in the book and it is not happening. She actually gags when I put it in her mouth!
~Gracyn takes her best naps on the go, in her carseat. This works great for me and my morning outings with Addison and Reagan! In fact, just this morning, starting at 6:00am, we were all going a little crazy, think constant discipline, poop on the floor, big girls fighting and baby crying. I finally loaded Gracyn in her carseat and took the girls to the mall. She slept the whole time and we all came home happier!
~She IS NOT the "laid-back" third child. At least not yet! Baby Girl is assertive. She knows what she wants (Mommy to hold her) and she doesn't give up easy. My dad was quite impressed with her stamina! He nicknamed her "Soldier".
~There is no little cry with Gracyn. She goes from perfectly quiet to shrill, high-pitched screams in a single second. When I first brought her home it would scare me to death because I thought something was seriously wrong with her. Now I know, it is just her cry.
~In the last week or so, she has transitioned from "Somebody hold me" to "Mommy hold me". She is definitely a Mommy's girl. That makes me three for three, and I love it!
~Word on the street is that she looks like Reagan. I see characteristics of both big sisters in little Gracyn
We are so in love with this precious girl and look forward to knowing her personality more and more each day.

Awww...she is beautiful. Can't believe she is a month old already. And she sounds a lot like Hadley was. She ALWAYS wanted to be held...enjoy it, because it didn't last long with Hads. Hope it lasts a little longer with Gracyn!!
Love your blog and I love watching your three girls grow up!!!

Baby #3 is beautiful beyond words!!

My first child, now 7, is not laid back either. She was ready to run the world in the womb. She had me on bedrest for nearly 4 months of my pregnancy, had me in labor forever, and then sceamed her head off with what we thought was colic for the first 3 months of life (I think it was just HER keeping me on my toes!! Not colic! HA!). She is still so exhausting with her willful self. But we wouldn't trade her for anything. She also happens to be a child who wants to absorb EVERY drop of life...very, very bright. They are all so different but yet so perfect. HUGS!

Something sounds familiar . . . Poop on the floor, shrill crying, Momma-wanting . . . Could it be that Miss Gracyn will grow up to be good friends with Miss Cameron? Maybe they can be pen-pals, it sounds like they're already soul-sisters. I gave up on pacis, both babies, neither would take one. Good luck, Honey! She's just beautiful. All three of them are . . . your lovely little angel girls.

I guess she has to be heard over two big sisters so scream crying is the only way, huh? You know Carlee never took a paci either. It will save you a whole lot of time searching for a paci. Maybe she'll be a thumb sucker? Who knows... she is a doll though and I can't believe she is already a month old. Blessings to your family!

I cannot believe that its been a month. she gets more beautiful every time I see her pictures. I see a lot of her mommy in her!

P.S. Cole never took a pacifier either... seems to have worked out just fine though.

I can not believe how absolutely beautiful she is! I love that picture. I just want to kiss her cheeks. It makes me want another one. Yikes!
