Love My Girl

Time is flying by! Yesterday marked 17 months that Grace has been in our arms for good. It was also my hubby's birthday :) I wanted to take some time to document some of the ridiculously cute things I love about our Grace!

She loves to play pirate and cowgirl. Today she even went as far as to pretend the shopping cart at Walmart was a pirate ship. I let her stand in the big part and she kept saying, "Ahoy, Mommy!" and "Turn". I guess I was First Mate :)

I love that when she hides, the eyes being closed is a must. Last night we were hiding from daddy as he was coming home from work. We were very well hidden behind the sheer curtains in the playroom and Grace said, "Close eyes, Mommy." It took Brad FOREVER to find us :)

She sings along to theme songs from her favorite shows, but only sings the last word of each line. Unfortunately, she has inherited my singing ability :(

She says "Ok, Mommy" all the time in the SWEETEST voice . Sigh...

She's very dramatic! She will shove her arm in between couch cushions and yell for help.

She exhibits so much excitement over the small things in life. Getting to go, well, anywhere in the car, leads to cheering and "Let's go, Mommy!"

Favorite new line, "Check it out, Mommy!" She started that one while looking at the zoo map we brought home last week. So stinkin' cute!

I can always tell when I've made a winning dinner. She always acknowledges it with a "Yummy!" as she eats. Last night was, "Yummy, mushrooms!"

She does Conga line dancing into the pool while singing, "Conga, conga, conga!"

She calls the candy Smarties.... Farties! And slippers.... flippers:)

She is really starting to show empathy for others. If I'm upset, angry or say I don't feel well. Grace will immediately say, "Happy Mommy! Huggy."

She can work my iphone like crazy. She can look at pictures and will quit my games I have going with friends. Ok, I don't love that, but I am still very impressed :)

She wakes up happy every day!!!!
