Eleven Weeks Old

From family email May 22, 2004:
Dear friends & family:

Baby Gracie is 11 weeks old now, and she's already outgrown her 0-3 month clothes (well most of them). I try not to cry over this too much. Everyone told me "they grow up too fast," and now I know!! But she's still wonderful. She smiles a lot, especially for the camera, because she knows that momma gets excited when she gets a good picture. I am sending a few new photos to clog your email boxes.
Next month we’ll be taking our first "big" trip. We're going to Tennessee the weekend of June 19th, and stay for a few days, and we really hope that we can catch up with some old friends there along with family. Garren and I have planned her Christening for June 27th (were working to schedule that). So if you are in Lynchburg that weekend we would love to see you. She'll be christened at Chestnut Hill UMC during the regular church service. I can give more details if you want to come.
It looks like our little one is already teething! I can't believe it, she's so little, but she has 80% of the teething symptoms from the parenting books we read. She doesn't appear to be in any discomfort (thank goodness!). And because we have the best baby in the world, she is sleeping 8 hours a night, taking a bottle, sleeping another 3! I also get a 2-3 hour nap a day and a 30-40 minute nap a day from Gracie! This has been wonderful for the past 3 weeks!!! I certainly hope it continues.
Well I am sure you are all getting a cavity from my mommy-email, so I will let you get back to work, family, home...ect.
Please keep in touch with us.

Love,
Barbara, Garren, & Gracie
