The big changes this month are related to movement (mouth, body...).
- Gracie loves to clap for anything. Her favorites are Patty cake, saying "yeah", and when she is happily squealing.
- This week she even started giving kisses on the cheek. Let me say if she keeps this up she won't have a boyfriend for awhile...which we are okay with. Her kisses are big open mouth smacks on the cheek.
- She has also learned to make some funny faces from her parents. There is a new "Cheesy" smile she likes to give people as well as her head tilt that is her being "Cute."
- Faces, jewelry, glasses, and anything within arm's reach is a wonderful toy in Gracie's eyes.
- She moves all around. When she sees something she wants, she tries to move towards it and ends up moving backwards. Getting her legs under the couch leads to many squawks.
- She is starting to feed herself puffs, peas, and other small food items. It is fun to watch her try to get it in her mouth by all different means. Less and less is ending-up in her chair. Even without her teeth she is trying other foods.
- Now that she knows she can move more she is starting to explore standing around. Very soon I foresee cruising.
- To make Gracie even more happy you can give her two options...one, any two objects that make a fun noise when they are banged together and two, a sticker or name tag that is sticky between her fingers.
This past week we were busy getting things ready for the Peters 40th wedding anniversary luau. Gracie was a party animal and was awake until 10:30. She is just our social butterfly and loved to celebrate such a special day with her Grandma and Papa. 
Adam's first Father's day included breakfast in bed, gifts from Gracie, church, lunch at Cafe Prague on their patio, and then time at home. Gracie loved spending the day with her Daddy. Her 9 month appointment is on Thursday and we will update everyone soon.
