She now likes to sleep with some of her stuffed animals. Her tiger, blue bunny, and duckie are her favorites!
Grace has learned to ignore me when I get the camera out. It takes an act of Congress to get her to look at me, and it's even more difficult to get her to smile!
This is her "funny face".
Pool time!!
I love how her cheeks get all chubby when she sleeps!
Tubby time after her doctor's appointment. Those bandaids cover up her injection sites...poor thing. She screamed her head off for about 30 seconds, then went back to her happy little self! God Bless Ms. Lurene, her nurse!!
Lunch with friends!
The playground at the mall. This was a new experience for me. She is now curious about other kids. It didn't take us long to meet some bratty ones that day. Yeesh!
I just found this one on my cell phone. I think it was taken back in March.
Helping Mommy and Daddy empty all the garbage cans on trash day! Her little tennis shoes crack me up!
Grace is now 15 1/2 months old. She had a doctor's appointment four weeks ago for routine shots, etc. She weighed 19lbs 12oz and is 30 3/4" tall...still a petite little thing. Everything checked out great! Grace is progressing exactly how she should be. Her doctor told me that she has the language skills of a 2 year old. Her vocabulary is incredible and she is now speaking in small sentences. Communicating with her gets easier everyday!
She is no longer drinking out of bottles, she uses sippy cups or regular cups, and she has mastered using a straw. We have also started the potty training process. Yikes!! She is very interested and is always checking out the potty, so we thought...why not? She will tell us several times a day "poop poop", we will then rush her to the potty, take all her clothes and diaper off, and place her on the seat. After 2.5 seconds, she wants to get off the potty and play in the bathroom cabinets. As frustrating as this can be, I think it's a step in the right direction!
It's been a while since I've posted anything, so these pictures span about three weeks time. Is it me, or does she get more and more gorgeous every day?
