April 16, 2009 - Counting in Weeks

Today Grace is 7 weeks old. In talking with Kristoffer last night, I realized that I have been "counting in weeks" for a long time now. First it was the weeks of my pregnancy, starting at 6 weeks and going up until I had Grace at 38.5 weeks...and now it is Grace's age! Kristoffer wonders if I will still be counting in weeks when Grace turns 18 years old - or 936 weeks!

After two very fussy days on Tuesday and Wednesday, today Grace has bounced back by being either very happy or very asleep for the whole day so far. To celebrate Grace's old age, I decided to take her for a walk on our street today. The good news is that the baby loves our only-partly-paved-and-very-bumpy road, the bad news is that her stroller did not. I managed to walk her up and down the street for about 30 minutes and she slept for about 24 of those minutes. I don't think we'll be doing that too often, however, if we want the stroller to last a long time! Or we need to get the stroller equivalent of a mountain bike :)

This was Grace before our walk:

love that you took Grace on safari. And the pictures of the lions were awesome. We travel a lot with Henry and did when he was itty bitty too, and love it. You should check out the BOB Revolution stroller - best place to read about it is joggingstroller.com (and there are tons of others too) for smoother rides on bumpy terrain. We have the BOB and love it - it's super popular over here.
