Sweet Grace, you are growing so wonderfully. I love to watch you play and laugh and learn.
Here is what you are up to these days:
You have started saying so many new words I don't know if I can remember them all. And not just repeating but "naming" things. You have added door, bite, "Annine" for Auntie Am, Ky-Ky for Uncle Kyle, shoes, socks, Elmo (no more Mel-Mo), nose, book, shirt (it sounds more like a four letter word when you say it so we are working on "blouse") cookie, monkey, basket, another, egg, meal-meal (for oatmeal), water, and car to your vocabulary. You are also repeating so many things you hear.
You are ridiculously ticklish
You say "hi" to everyone you see and if someone doesn't say "hi" back you keep repeating it louder and louder until you are finally screaming it.
Your hair is starting to curl up in the back and I put in little pigtails for the first time this week. You look so much older when I do your hair like that.
You are about to drop your second nap of the day and we have been putting you to bed earlier.
I made the mistake of laying you down for a nap with no pants on and you pulled off your diaper and peed all over your crib. It was neat.
You absolutely love hunting Easter eggs. We have egg hunts about four times a day since Easter. You get so excited when you find an egg and start whining when we say no more. We only have seven eggs so when you turn around to get the next egg we take one out and hide it again. It's exhausting but so much fun. I suppose we could go buy more eggs... but now you just hunt in the cabinets for bottle and breast pump accessories.
You have a new monkey chair that I bought at United and you love to sit in it and watch American Idol with me. You like to clap after every performance.
At night when you and Daddy are playing on the floor you like to sit on his stomach, pull up his shirt, and put your finger in his belly button.
You got a stomach bug on Tuesday night and threw up three times. It was your first time to be sick since your virus at 10 months. It was awful and then you gave it to me. You have bounced right back though and I must say that the extra cuddle time was nice.
Enjoy the pics of our about to be 18 month-old!
A lady must always wear the proper headgear when playing in the kitchen.
