Daddy's Girl

What a difference a weekend can make!!! Grace has finally realized what an awesome daddy she has! Grace and I have been glued at the hip lately, but this weekend I had some things I had to do without her. It was just a couple days ago that she would scream if Brad tried to feed her. Now she is going to him freely without screaming. She stills prefers me if she is tired or hurt, but thinks Daddy is pretty great! We had someone here today doing interviews for an adoption study we are participating in when Grace woke up. It was my turn to be interviewed (1 1/2 hours). When Brad brought Grace downstairs, she saw me and never reached and cried! Huge improvement!!! She hung out with Daddy for the next hour and had a blast! There were several occasions this weekend that they spent quality time together and it is so sweet to see her cuddled in her daddy's arms. The boys are loving having her home with us and are a big help too.

Here are some of Grace's Happenings!
*LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the pool (a big uh oh for me!)
*Loves the bathtub!
*sings and dances ALL THE TIME
*won't eat any fruit unless it is baby food.
*Loves meatballs and potatoes in any form
*Has possibly gained 3 pounds since being home :) I hope I am kidding!
*Is a very inconsistent napper (1/2 hour naps one day, the next they are over 1 1/2 hours)
*doesn't miss a thing! Every noise gets her attention.
*Has Inspector Gadget arms
*We nicknamed her "The Hulk" because "Hulk smash!" If she can squeeze it to death, she will!
*Makes the funniest faces and cracks herself up
*Is starting to realize that if she gets hurt, someone will give her lots of love
*Is walking more and more, but still loves to drag someone around with her. We think she likes to hold our fingers because she can run.
*LOVES being outside
*Is totally captivated by dogs
*Knows her name, our names and understands a ton of words already (outside, snack, doggy, up, no hitting, night night, drink, music, sing, bye bye, more - she actually signs "more" and shakes her head yes. There are more that I can't think of right now.
*Is falling in love with her mommy, daddy and brothers!!!
*Is totally stealing all our hearts!!!!






Grace walking. She looks like a zombie!

She doesn't care what temperature the water is. This is after she dunked her head.
