Who, Me?

Here Comes Trouble

Grace is into EVERYTHING these days. Her specialty is anything that came with the word "child proof" on it. It took her about 5 minutes to master pulling the plugs out of the outlets. I don't know what I'm going to do. Duct Tape?? Who knows.

While she is 100% capable of walking anywhere she pleases, she still crawls a lot. It's just much faster. Plus, she's only 'comfortable' walking in familiar surroundings and certain rooms in hour house. I know, I know, this girl has a mind of her own! For example, she walks laps in our living room but won't walk in the kitchen or family room. What's w/ that? She's also grown quite attached to her blankies. We have a large and a small version of virtually the same blanket. She sleeps with them but is also fond of carrying them around when she walks laps in the living room. Thankfully, she settles for the small one when walking and I can stash the large one. She's tried to walk with the big one a few times and ends up stepping on it and tumbling to the ground.

She's talking a lot more too. Picking up new words all the time. Just the other day I asked if she wanted a waffle for breakfast and she looks up at me and says "waffle". Her new favorite word is "Abby", which is the name of our neighbors black lab. Grace loves dogs and cats and has developed a new fascination with Abby. She walks around the house going "Abby, Abby, Abbbbbby". Always 3 times in a row. She's also started calling me "mommy" which is adorable! I think that's how she got started with 'abby', they sound similar. Such a little sweetie....
