Gracie Girl

Yesterday my little Gracie turned 2!

This post is all about Grace & her wonderful (big) personality!

Words: 

What doesn't this little bug say? 

She is filled to the brim with words - she even speaks sentences!

"I sit nexa you mommy"

"No! It's my turn"

"Mommy! He taykeh a me!" (he take it from me)

"My binkalel" (tinkerbell)

"Jacket me!"  Take my jacket off.

"Button me"

"I gotta go potty'

"I pee in my undies!"

"It's okay Mommy, it's okay"

"I pay a my dah hause" I play with my my dollhouse

"I ana go paygound" I wanna go to the playground

There are several more, but you get the gist. 

Favorites:

Food: popsicles, peanut butter, pretzels, munchkins, and many more!

Movie: Dora the explorer!

TV show:  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ("Micky cubhouse!")

Toy: my ipad!, bunny lovie with her name; birthdate printed on it, also very into dolls & princesses

Activity: looking at ants in the yard/grass, being tickled

Song: Amazing Grace, & Go Down Moses

Person: Me! (atleast I like to think so!)

My favorite thing about Gracie, (besides everything) is just how spunky she is!  She is a fighter.  She runs with the boys no problem but also can be so girlie.  She loves to boss Kyle, Noah and I around.  She just gives that little attitude face (wide eyes with eyebrows raised) that says "I'm in charge!".  She is also a total GOOF.  She likes to make faces at me, and then I'll make a face back, and we'll go back and forth up to 10 times or so until she can't help but laugh & giggle.  Then there's her HAIR.  Oh my gosh, her hair.  When she was born and I looked down and saw another bald baby - I was shocked!  I eagerly waited for that hair to grow her whole first year.  Not much sprouted, but during her 2nd year she really made up for lost time.  As her peach fuzz grew, the back started to curl! Yay!  As it kept coming in it kept curling, and curling, and curling.  Now it is just the BEST hair ever.  When I married Kyle I envisioned/hoped maybe we'd have a little girl with curly hair....and I got one!  My favorite is when she wakes up from a nap, or in the morning and her bedhead is just out of control.  Love love love.  I've got a lot of learning to do about how to take care of curls, but I'm sure Grace and I will figure it out together.  For now it is just a cute little mess, with an occassional bow, or pigtail day.  

I can't believe that Grace is already 2 years old! She is my best friend and I'm so excited to grow and learn with her.  She is just the BEST!
