Random Happenings....

Grace is talking non-stop! She is speaking in mostly sentences now and is so clear and easy to understand! I love listening to her talk.... most of the time ;) She is really becoming a little girl before my eyes. So sweet!!! She is sharing so much better and loves to help, especially in the kitchen. We are all so smitten by her and the funny things she says. I love the "girly" things she does that balance out the rough and tough. The other day she was spinning in a circle calling herself, "Ballerina Racie".

I haven't gotten many "good" pictures of Grace lately. I haven't been trying much though. It's getting exhausting trying to get her to cooperate and sit still. The bigger problem is that my camera isn't fast enough to keep up at Grace's speed. Luckily, this past week, we met a photographer at a park for family pics as well as individuals of the kids and more. I warned the photographer that Grace was "VERY ACTIVE". Grace was Grace! She was so excited to be outside and didn't strike a pose for too long. The exciting part was that she won the "Most Difficult to Photograph in 23 Years" Award! She wasn't bad, just active. Grace was actually calmer than I expected her to be :) But we ended up with some beautiful pictures! I'll share soon. I'll leave you with these for now....

Grace has got an amazing imagination! Here she is "skiing" with carpet slides and swords! This was all her idea! Please excuse the "crazy girl" look! She is forever pulling out hair clips lately...


Who's that reading in the fort???

It's Gracie!!! This girl LOVES a good fort! She will request books, snacks and of course, Mommy. I've learned to make them large and comfy since I always have to get in them.

Grace was fascinated with her blue tongue! She spent a good amount of time in the bathroom looking at herself and laughing :)

Somebody got new "flippers"! Any guesses???

Aidan made Grace this little fort with the box from our new microwave. He AND the box entertained her for a couple of hours!!! Love big brothers!!!

Grace is SO CUTE - I love that I can totally see her personality in your pictures. What a firecracker - she and CJ together would be two peas in a pod! And I'm totally impressed reading about her imagination - what a smart girl!
