Sunday - Feeling Better

Gracie had a GREAT night last night! She slept very peacefully and seemed to breathe much better. She woke up while I was in the shower and daddy was in our bedroom getting dressed, Gracie pushed open the door to announce that she was awake. She had a big smile on her face. When I got out of the shower to say good morning, she was focused on "Ed Young" on TV and didn't want to be bothered. Needless to say, I was persistent!

Gracie had a pretty good day. She took a 45 minute nap this morning and a 90 minute nap this afternoon. I layed down with her this afternoon and at one point, she awoke, saw I was there, smiled and held my hand and stuck her thumb from her other hand in her mouth and fell back to sleep. That melted my heart.

We went outside briefly for a walk, but the wind was pretty gusty and I was worried about her ears so we didn't linger.

This afternoon Gracie's Aunt Kathy and Cousins Calvin and Joshua came to visit. She warmed up to them pretty quickly and thought Calvin's cell phone was cool. Too bad he wouldn't let her have it. Oh to be so little!

Tonight Gracie had the best time in the tub. Not only did she splash with her arms, but her legs were going a mile a minute too. She was smiles from ear to ear. She was a hoot after bath too. She was daddy's little dare devil, climbing down his back, and if he would spin her or hold her so her head was toward the floor she was delighted. She also bounced on her bed for awhile (recommended by physical therapist Leslie). She was in such a great mood, we let her stay up a bit longer than normal. We were having too much fun playing with her.

She is now asleep and hopefully having sweet dreams.

Have a great week.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
