18 months

This month we celebrated Grace's half-birthday!

It's hard to believe she's now closer to 2 than 1, and growing up so fast. At 18 months, Gracie knows what she wants and goes for it. We're having so much fun discovering her personality! She loves her babies, "Momo" (Elmo), running, shiny shoes, monkeys, birds, "yayas" (bananas), peas, "googies" (cookies), wrestling, hugs and most of all, her big brother "Awa".

Happy 18 months sweet girl!

Pitching in

We have discovered our sweet girl is very clean. She doesn't like dirty hands and feet and she likes to throw things away. Alot. It's been pretty helpful at times but we also have to double check what's getting tossed. We've rescued plates, cups, toys, socks, clothes, you name it from the trash can and I'm sure have missed many more. For awhile I couldn't figure out why we were always buying new pacifiers!

Here's some video of her in action...

And now that we've paid attention to it, she thinks it's a big hysterical game. Hold onto your stuff!

Decisions, decisions

a happy birthday for mommy

Big thanks to family and friends for making my "thirtysomething" birthday so special. It has been a wonderful weekend!

More apples!

We had another fun apple picking outing today on Owen's preschool class field trip.

Owen was thrilled to stomp around in the mud and walk THROUGH the creek with Miss Judy!

Mmmmmm!

What a gorgeous fall day!

"Baby"

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for Gracie's adorable new doll. She just loves "Baby"!!
