Month 16

Gracee Mae... what a bright little girl we have? She is growing up to be such a wonderful little lady. New things each day - here are her sixteenth month lessons:


1. Gracee loves to climb... she has mastered climbing the stairs very well, or even a step or two then yelling because she wants to get down! My mom and dad have a television stand that is just her size to climb as if it were a stage (they have a 60 inch T.V. that is in the shop). Both of the kids climb up there and start shaking their butts!

2. Gracee just moved up to size 5 diapers... the four Huggies Snug and Dry fit we need to move to the next size... we are actually working on potty training (sorta) we brought Jared's potty chair down from storage and when we see her hunched down in the corner we know it is time to get her on the pot.

3. Gracee is still a great eater... she went through a time where she didn't eat much at all just a little here and a little there but its good stuff! She loves green beans and frozen peas! She is still a good chip eater and like crackers and all that stuff.

4. Grace understands... when I ask her something she knows what I am talking about! I just asked her where her fingernail clippers where and she started pinching her fingers... I have asked her to go and get her shoes before and she brings them to me or tries to put them on herself. Its just crazy how much she learns from watching her brother (both good and bad)

5. Gracee loves magnets... she can play with the magnets on the back of the front door forever. she just lines them up walks away then looks at them and takes them off the door and does it again.

6. Gracee is a reader... she has always liked books but each day she wants to get the books off the shelf and sit on your lap as you read them to her. She just learned how to put them back on the shelf and get a new book. We read all the time.

7. Gracee is growing fast... she is 32 inches tall and weighs 26lbs 4 oz! She isn't a baby anymore and she lets us know that often. Gracee doesn't really like to be held anymore she would rather walk like her big brother!

8. Gracee loves ICE... every time you have a drink with ice in it she yells and holds her hand out, as soon as you start to give her a piece she just laughs and gets so excited!

9. Gracee is a daddy's girl... when she hears the shop door open she stops whatever it is that she is doing and stands up and says "dada" then runs for the kitchen. She gets so frustrated cause she wants to talk so bad... she just yells and squeals trying to tell him all the fun stuff we did that day.

We have awesome kids and if I didn't take note throughout the month I wouldn't remember half of Gracee's new lessons. Our kids make me so proud - thanks again for learning with us.
