Over the past week Gracie has added a few new "tricks" to her bag. Crawling is now something that she has mastered and quickly moved past. Gracie's daycare buddy Addison is crawling, talking, and Miss Social. This makes Gracie want to do all of those things to keep up with Addison. Gracie is now pulling herself up on items to be standing and is testing the waters with cruising. She even learned to say Mama, Dada, and Dag (Dog) this week, though she isn't always using the right word with the correct person. Mama is the lucky word she uses when she wakes in the morning since she knows I am usually the one to get her out of bed. Mommy's ears are usually ready and it was less then a month ago we stopped breastfeeding. Her other two big advancements involve leaving. She can now wave goodbye, which is more of a beauty queen wave or a scooping motion with the wrist. In addition to goodbye she is blowing kisses using the back of her hand. How can you not think she is just adorable?!?!
This week Gracie was a busy lady. Nicole likes to keep her so busy and entertained. I love it and I know Gracie does too. There were trips to the park, play dates, the aquarium, and a little time at home. Honestly if I were home with her I don't think we would venture out to do everything and Nicole takes Gracie and her 18 month old. WOW. Gracie did have a fun play date with Kacey and Seeley. Seeley was nice enough to give us some clothes too that are just the right season that will be a wonderful addition to her wardrobe. All I can say is that we are blessed to have such wonderful friends to give us toys, clothes, and so many other baby items that we use daily!! Back to the weekend...Saturday we enjoyed the afternoon celebrating cousin Alex's 4th birthday. He is such a wonderful cousin and someone Gracie wants to be with all the time. The best part of the party was of course the ice cream that she wouldn't stop asking for with an "uh, uh, uh." We created an ice cream monster!! Here is a photo of the birthday boy, Gracie, cousin Andrew, and their cousin Scott.
Sunday we enjoyed the worship at Craig Hospital and Gracie even stayed quiet because she learned she had a tongue. I on the other hand had a horrible time staying quiet and not laughing too loudly at our adorable daughter just sticking out her tongue at everything. So sweet. We visited our friend's Jody and Mike to meet month-old Elizabeth. It is hard to remember Gracie that small! The whole family seems to be loving life. Finally it was dinner with the Peters at Maggiano's. We knew Gracie would have a ball people watching, we just didn't know how much, and the attention the balloons at the neighboring table would get. I foresee many a balloons for her birthday party to keep her busy.
