How You Know You Love Your Pacifier


This morning, Abigail photographed Gracie after an intense hour of sucking on her pacifier. As you can tell, she's pretty worked up about it, and left the "ring around the mouth" to prove it. She's definitely a passionate little girl. As her father, I fall in love with her more and more each day. Today we walked the streets of Glendora in the Baby Bjorn as the sunset on a beautiful fall SoCal day (mid 70s for you MidWest folk). She slept on my chest as we walked and I couldn't help but thinking more than a few times that there's nothing more I'd rather be doing. Then of course we had a complete meltdown and I might be up with her tonight at 2:00am, but this afternoon, we had a moment. Blessings to all. Can't wait for the MidWest nieces or nephews in a few weeks. Gracie heads to Lake Tahoe for her first (of many) trips to the cabin in a week. We need winter gear!

Our lil' pumpkin!




Grandma Aldrich got Gracie this pumpkin costume that she showed off at her first trip to the pumpkin patch. She was a little worn out after the trip! Can you believe that she already weighs over 9 lbs.?! We're such proud parents!
