More July Fun

It is difficult to believe this girl hated baths when we first got her! There is no fear anymore!!! Grace loved playing in the sprinkler, but needed shoes to protect her little feet from our dry, crunchy grass :)



Grace is obsessed with books! I caught her "reading" to herself for a change. Usually you can find her flinging a book in my face to be read to :) The funniest thing is she has to sit in a certain position and suck her thumb. If you shift her or put her next to you, she climbs right back on my lap smack dab in the center!!! I hope all this reading helps with her speech, because right now she isn't saying much at all. She has lost a lot of sounds that she used to make. She does babble, but small variety of sounds. She understands tons though. She is only 14 months old and has only been hearing english for 2 months, but I would feel better if she called me "mama". I do remember my boys "losing" words when they started walking. Their minds were focused on the physical. Nate said very little until 15 months and then it was like a faucet was turned on (and no one has turned it off since :)

How many kids and large stuffed dogs can fit in one small fort??? I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching these three play together!

Who would have thought that the air conditioner vent could be such fun! Grace entertained herself for quite a while enjoying the cold air blow out on her. (We do usually put pants on her :)
