Ryan & Gretchen, You all look great. Sending you a couple thoughts that came to mind.
You might want to take those special monthly photos with one special stuffed animal to help you gauge her growth.
You might want to look into sign language for babies. I've been told it reduces frustration of baby and parents because to baby is able to "tell" you what she wants/needs.
Becky Both good thoughts! We have a pictures with the LARGE Raggedy Ann my mom & dad gave her. Maybe that would be a good indicator of growth each year. Also, my sister taught her kids some sign language and it was a trip. As soon as we move out of survival mode (I can see the light), we'll have to check that out!
Ryan & I have been happily married since 2/18/06 & were delighted to have Kayla Ann join us 12/13/07. We live, with our 3 cats in S Central IL. Ryan is an engineer at Marathon Refinery. I'm a stay at home mom & pursuing a MA in Counseling from Eastern Illinois University
