Sleepy Saturday

Mommy is in charge of the blog entry this evening as Gracie and I spent the day together.

Gracie was still a bit restless last night, but only got up once for a bottle and that was at 2:45 a.m. She awoke at 5:50 a.m. to start the day. She had plenty of smiles for us. She had a pretty good day but was quite tired. She slept for 45 minutes this morning and then took a nap that was 3+ hours this afternoon. She definitely needs the rest to get over her cold and heal from the pneumonia.

The last couple of days Gracie does not want to stand or walk much. If you set her down on her feet, she just plops to her butt. I'm trying to figure out if she is just too winded or tired with the pneumonia or if the extra weight is starting to bother her. Time will tell.

We gave Gracie a much needed bath after lunch today. She was the splashing queen. She was so happy in the tub. She hasn't splashed that much for about three months. Jeff and I stood there in our soaked clothes and just smiled at each other. Another sign that our girl is getting her own personality back.

Gracie was in a good mood this afternoon and evening, but wanted to be held most of it. Since she had a long nap this afternoon, she wasn't quite ready for bed at her usual time, so we just tucked her in. Sweet dreams.

Stay warm.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
