Updates on Autumn

Some updates on Autumn this week:
1) We had our first big screamfest at 8:00 one night this week... and hour of screaming when nothing could calm her!
2) She took her first bath without crying! She actually started to enjoy it.
3) She started to enjoy the swing for the first time.
4) She went to the service and heard Daddy preach for the first time - she didn't even cry.
5) We have enjoyed walking at the new park in the pretty weather this week.

She is such an awesome baby and so amazing. We love her more every day.

The Past 3 Weeks

Today Autumn is 3 weeks old! It has been an amazing three weeks. I thought that I would add some commentary to Keith's wonderful pictures. We are all having a great time learning to be parents and learning what it means to be the smallest Gunter! After we got home from the hospital, Keith's parents helped us get settled into our house and helped with tasks around the house. They were awesome.
The 2nd week, my mom came down to spend the week with us and help me adjust to being at home while Keith returned to work. We had a relaxing week and learned that Autumn is quite the snuggler!
This past week, we got to hang out with my sister Lea for 2 days and we got to spend Thanksgiving with Keith's family. It was a wonderful and relaxing week.

Some Highlights into our journey so far:
#1) A child is truly God's greatest blessing. We are amazed by her daily and continually give thanks to God for her in our lives.

#2) Most mornings, Keith takes Autumn downstairs with him to have his "quiet time" when she wakes up. This allow me to sleep a little longer :) and they get to have Daddy/Daughter bonding time.

#3) Autumn loves the mornings. She is usually awake for 2-3 hours in the mornings and we play in our Tiny Love gym and in our Bouncer Seat. She then crashes for the afternoon!

#4) Changing Diapers is a tricky and dangerous job. You must be on your toes at all times!

#5) Craziest Moment so far: We took Autumn out shopping at 5 am on the Friday after Thanksgiving. She was up anyway!

#6) We love visitors. We have been blessed to have so many youth and adults from the church to visit. It always brightens our day. Autumn is already the social butterfly and easily passes from one person to another.

#7) Cutest Comment: (Keith's sister had a baby girl 2 weeks before Autumn, her name is Grace. )
Taylor(Keith's 4 year old nephew) said when we walked in for Thanksgiving:
"Look Baby Grace your best friend is here - Baby Autumn"
