A day of firsts...

Bryan went back to work this week and with that Grace has had a couple rough nights (although I am happy to report that Grace had her best night ever last night!) Luckily my mom has come over each day to help out and let me nap. Yesterday was a day of firsts for Gracie. Since her cord fell off she can now have a complete bath. Even though we have a nice infant bath tub, my mom decided to do it old school style...in the kitchen sink. Gracie still didn't like it too much. We followed the bath by taking our first trip to Jewel to pick up a couple groceries. The weather has been unseasonably warm this week so when we came back from the store Gracie went on her first walk. She loved her walk and slept the entire time. We have been noticing that Grace is now tracking objects and voices so after our walk my mom put together the Play Yard that she bought for Grace. Once again, Grace seemed to enjoy it and fell asleep. Her day of firsts was followed by a wonderful night of sleeping for the first time in her own room! She is a very noisy sleeper, which means Bryan and I wake at her every move. My mom suggested putting her in her own room and with a little hesitation we gave it a try. It was an easy transition last night and hopefully we have more good nights that follow (fingers crossed!)
