A few cutie things

I wanted to share a few cute Gracie moments with you:

1) This morning I was counting to Grace from 1-10 and when I got done, she said, "Good job, Mommy!"

2) I was reading a book to Grace this morning, and on the last page there was a picture of a little boy hugging his mommy. Grace pointed at the boy and said, "What's that, Mommy?" I answered, "a little boy." And she said, "hugging Mommy!" I said, "Yes" Then she said, "Like Gracie!" And she reached over and hugged me. It was so super sweet. I really needed that today.

3) Grace always wants to put her contacts in with me. After I get mine in, she sticks her finger in the holder and puts it up to her eye. She really thinks she is doing it. She has been doing that for a while- but I just wanted to share, because today it struck me as super duper cute.

A day at the Zoo!

We took Grace to the Birmingham Zoo Sunday. It brought back some great memories from when I worked there. It also has come a long long way since I have been there. Grace enjoyed the sprinklers at the Children's Zoo.


Grace has never liked using her stroller. She wants to walk walk walk. I was a little worried about her walking too much since she has been having some cold/allergy issues, but she handled it like a champ.

Did I tell you Grace can write her name now? Ok, so another Grace wrote that...

Beware of the Dog!

Grace and Junebug!! (or Junejug as Grace calls her) Junebug belongs to the M family, and Grace just adores her. "Junejug, come on, come on Junejug."

Count to Ten!!

Grace sees bees.

She learned that song from The Tigger Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyRiip2y5Dg

Chit chat

Grace is starting to chit chat with us and her toys quite a bit. She has her figurines talk to each other saying, "hi" "how you doing?" "where is Mickey Mouse?" It is so fun to hear & watch her as she grows. I wanted to share two cute things she said/did today. Drew and I took Grace to a park where she did her share of sliding, jumping, playing, etc. But the swings. Today... the swings! The swings. She went nuts over the swing. She rode on the swing for at least 15-20 minutes straight. Drew pushed her, and with each and every single swing she screamed, "weeeeee" I mean, she did NOT stop. It was so adorable. We would ask her if she was ready to stop, and she would answer, "not done, weeeee!" Occasionally she would laugh and say, "Tickle tummy!!"

On the way home today she said, "Mommy! Daddy! Gracie in back car." Drew and I were talking to each other, and I guess she wanted to be sure we knew that she was back there too!!

Just wanted to share!

Papa! The Beekeeper!

Papa went to his neighbor's house and helped spot a queen bee!!!
Sorry the pictures are small, they were e-mailed to me, and this was as big as I could get them. Grace loved seeing Papa with the bees. ( She just saw the pictures, she wasn't there. )
