Life of Grace: The Grace Continues...

So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:1

It has been a very eventful first week of life for our little lady. Malia Grace's first 2 pediatrician doctor appointments (Tues & Wed) affirmed her healthiness as she has started to gain weight since her birth. She gained 2 ounces over the span of 24 hours, that's a lot for a little 7 pound-er!!! This is contributed to her growing expertise in eating, sleeping and pooping :-)

On Wednesday night, Dani Lu (aka Auntie Doula) came over to do Malia's first Photo Shoot. The only word to describe this photo shoot is... precuteling. Yes, this is a clever hybrid of precious, cute & darling. See the photo's below and you'll understand. Malia also received her first wash cloth bath, which she was surprisingly peaceful during.

Danni and I are doing our best to sleep when she sleeps, but so much excitement and joy fills our hearts that it's hard to rest! We are both reaching an exhaustion that should have us down for the count. But with God's grace, our hearts have not become weary. Prayer is a huge factor and fuel for us! We are very grateful for the ways you lift our family up to the Lord in your prayers.
