Welcome to...GRACIE'S WORLD!







Howdy There..brand new blogger here! After just recently being introduced to this whole "blog spot" Blogger site, I have decided I want to create my own. A family memeber of mine has had a 'blogspot' for some time now and I just saw it for the first time yesterday..ofcourse, I thought it was super neat! Now, others and myself can relive the day before through words, photos and videos. Online journal, i guess you'd call it! Sounds fun to me!









Anywho, I'll cut to the chase..Grace is growing so fast and is saying and doing new things EVERYDAY! I am pretty stoked to now be sharing some of our experiences with friends and family! Grace is now 18-months old, she hit the 1 and 1/2 mark! YAY! At her 18-month check-up she weighed in at 24 pounds and after a fit of attemping to get her to lay down straight on the baby patient bed to mark her height the nurse said she is roughly 33 to 34 inches tall. (Also, during this visit, she had to get 1 shot...while getting this shot, she kung-fuged the nurse right in the nose! Talk about, MAN DOWN! The doctor grabbed her nose and asked the other nurse in the room to apply the bandaid! Poor Graice turned into Poor nurse, fast! LOL! She didn't like that 18 month check-up one bit..luckly we have 6 months until we have to go back. She must remember the doctors office, and she didn't like it one bit..poor gracie...but she did get 2 suckers and a dora and boots sticker to make up for the shot! Ohh, gracie <3

She knows most of her body parts and animlas. She loves to do the animal sounds, shes got the duck, lion, dinosour, cow, monkey, kitty, and dog down quite well. She also knows where her eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, tounge, arms, legs, elbows and cheeks are! I swear she's a genuis!

Today we bought a English to Spanish notecard booklet..i'm going to start teaching that tomorrow. They say the brain in a child up to 5 is ready to learn anything and everything! She also has the 'My Baby Can Read videos and notecards..we dont get around to watching it as much as i'd like but every little thing counts at this age! She loves learning and she LOVES talking! She talks all day long, some of it is just jibber-jabber but lately she has been saying mostly worlds and even a few short sentences! I don't think she's suppose to be doing all this yet!
We played outside for most of the day today but it's been super hot out so we had to do it in time frames. I have the back-yard all set up for her. My mom had a great idea and we put it into action a couple months ago..to create a "beach" for gracie. So, in the cornor of the backyard we put down sand, then put some cute little bricks around it and set her playhouse I bought her for Easter within all the sand..so she has a beach house! Including a slide and sandbox, rocking puppy toy, flower and chairs! I'll post some pictures of it!

I'll go ahead and end my first blog with some recent photos, some are even from today. Thanks for checking out our new blog..Stay tuned:)
