It is only the end of January and I am getting to July, though I am at least getting things in here! July was a busy month for mommy traveling to FL, London and Paris, so there was extra time with Daddy and the grandparents. This post will talk about her loves at the time.
July 4th Gracie was with Daddy, Nana and Papa. Daddy - we had a great time re-introducing Gracie to fireworks. The prior year for July 4th Gracie wanted nothing to do with fireworks. This time she not only enjoyed watching us light off our own "show", but she wanted to get involved. Daddy let her try "pop snaps" but she didn't quite get the throwing motion towards the ground. No matter; Gracie discovered she could stomp on them which became a game she really loved playing. BBQ and root beer floats (a Peters family tradition) rounded out the rest of the evening.
Mommy's trip to Paris has started Gracie's healthy obsession with Paris, specifically the Eiffel Tower. For months anything that was a tall somewhat pointy structure was the Eiffel tower in her book. Given this obsession she will get some new bedding to be discussed in December. This blog is about G but I have to put a photo of her favorite item to talk about.
Like June, most of our afternoons and weekends were spent have fun in the sun. Gracie started in swim lessons which only continued her love of swimming and anything water.
Here is Gracie trying to take a walk in my shoes for a min. she is getting a little too good talking in high heels!
She is also lucky to have some loving friends that buy her great clothes. Here she is a model for the so very cute shirt from Julianne. We will get that Jayhawk shirt that will get used!!! Even if we have to use it on a doll. She also had a fashion show with her friend Seeley's clothes, in a few months that is. The first photo is pretty blurry but of course the next photo had to be shown, her true colors at the time.
Her final love that is growing involves babies. She has started to love, care for, and play with dolls more often. Beth, her 2nd mom, is pregnant and I think Gracie is starting to like the idea of being a "big sister" She is very good at making the baby care to care for it, change their diapers, and feed them. The real thing will be a bit different.
