It's hard to believe that Gracie girl will be a year old in 22 days. That's right, 22 DAYS! She's grown so much this past month, and now she gives kisses (open mouth of course) when you ask! Ok, I'll be honest...she has to be in the mood to give the kisses, otherwise you get slapped in the face like Auntie Erin did this morning. Haha! She's been really sleepy for the past few days, so I think she's growing. Sleeping and eating seem to be her two favorite activities. We're hopeful that someday she will grow some hair and get more teeth since she only has two :) She has stood on her own, is a master stair climber, loves baths and plays peek-a-boo. Mama is probably her favorite word right now, but she also says dada, bye bye and I've even gotten her to say baby before. We try to get her to say 'bye bye, dada' every day and sometimes she says it, sometimes she doesn't.

This past week my family has been up and it's been GREAT having them here! Especially because they get to spend lots and lots of time with Grace. And also because my sister sends me pictures of Grace throughout the day! Here are a couple that she sent yesterday :) Enjoy!
