Gracie's 13/14th months

Man does the time go fast! And I am great at thinking about what to blog and bad at getting it done! So Grace turned 14 months last week! She is making so many strides lately that I need to get it all down!

First off is the teeth! 12.5 months and no teeth, now she has 5!!! The last two came in over this past weekend! Her grin is getting quite toothy! She is now able to bite, which is helping her to eat sliced apples and sandwiches! Speaking of eating, she is actually a picky eater. What she was digging just a few days ago, she will turn her nose up at. Who is this little girl?! She also is not interested in stopping nursing. She has gone 3 days without me and not nursed and as soon as I am back at her disposable she wants to drink.

She is starting to attempt talking. Her favorite words which is probably the impetus of her saying them are mama, dada, maa (not like a sheep, as in Max),bye, hi, chee (cheese), swin (swing), and shus (shoes, duh)!! There might be more, I'll try to be better at writing them down. But this kid gets it. She brings shoes to people when she wants to out side, which is often. And she will actually bring you the set.

She is a speed walker, climbs every where, and is working on the balance to walk down steps. We are in the midst of her first "class". Both Max and Gracie are in swimming lessons at Jackson pool where I took lesson umpteen years ago! She would hardly sit still while we took Max to gymnastics and soccer. She wanted to be out there, too. And let me tell you she can dribble a soccer ball better than most 3 year olds I know! Look out!

She giggles then most for her brother, complete adoration. She likes her mama and dada and nana. Really she loves people. She is always waving and smiling at people, trying to catch an eye and make a new friend. She makes new friends every where which is a test for me. Max has been so shy, not unlike Robb and me, so to learn the outgoing ropes is new to me. All these things that kids teach you!

Her toe head locks are growing and I was able to do piggy tails a few weeks ago! She loves pretty kitty, aka Hello Kitty. Loves playing with her babies and tea set. We turned her around in the cars eat which she likes. She is pretty easy going but knows what she wants. I love her up every chance I get and tell her I love her. She is one of my little highlights!
