*AMAZING GRACE*

Here's a video showcasing what Gracie has been up to in the past month. The highlights include me trying to record myself feeding Gracie and her grabbing the spoon from me, Gracie's first taste of peas, and her singing and walking with help.

  

Our little "Amazing Grace" has filled our home with so much joy. There are certain things we do each and everyday...and we wanted to share them with you.


*We Eat!...And this has become one of Gracie's favorite things to do. She can't get enough of her fruits and veggies. Pass the Green Beans Please!
Look at her stare down the spoon I'm holding above the camera.

*We take a nice warm bath... Here she is fresh out of the tub...with water still on her face.

*We Sing! I'm always singing to Gracie, and although she enjoys nursery rhymes...she seems to have a special love for Broadway Tunes. Her favorite is the "Phantom of the Opera" right now. I in no way have a voice like "Christine"...but Gracie seems to enjoy it. She tries to "out sing" me, and it's pretty cute. The other day I started singing a song to her that I used to sing every morning on my commute to work when I was pregnant. She got the most amazing look on her face...and it made me tear up...because I know she remembers hearing it. She's our angel.

*We Walk! Gracie always wants to be standing and walking. She will grasp so tightly to mine or Jody's hands and pull herself to her feet.


*And We LAUGH every chance we get!

A few days ago...Jody put the game "Pop Goes the Weasel" to shame. Here's a video of him making Gracie laugh!

Gracie is so cute! She is going to be walking in no time. She is walking better than Danika. (I haven't really encouraged it either.) I love her laugh! That video of her is hilarous! Jody is sure a great entertainer!

I can't believe she is walking around with help now, that's so cute. I love in the last video how she laughs before he even spits it out. Her laugh is adorable.

The videos were great. I can't believe how she has changed. Just since the wedding she had grown so much. What a good little eater and walking already. Good job on "pop goes the weasle," so much fun.
