Saturday with Mom & Dad

Gracie had an okay night. She tossed and turned a bit, but not as much as other recent nights. She did sleep in til 6:45 a.m. this morning and that was a great treat. She awoke in a good mood and did a little snuggling with mommy and then went in search of her dad.

Gracie was a good girl all day long and she had mommy and daddy's undivided attention most of the day. It is so much fun to realize that she is understanding so much more each and every day. She is following instructions (when she wants to) and definitely lets us know her wants. Today we were eating some cinnamon sugar tortilla chips and she wanted more. She signed "more" and then held out her hand. Triumph!!!!

Gracie has come down with either another cold or has allergies. I'm starting to suspect allergies as mine have been terrible this week, but not certain if that is her ailment or not. She sneezes constantly.

We all took an outing to the store today -- my favorite store -- as Jeff calls it, my home away from home -- Target. Gracie was soooooo good!!!! She would attempt to reach for things off of the shelf and when I would tell her "no" or "I don't think so", she would just smile and giggle. She was just being a little jokester.

Tonight we went to a graduation party and Gracie was a bit of a terror. Grabbing for everything on the table, knocking a cup full of Skittles to the floor and then fussing a bit. However, when we got in the van to come home she was the happiest girl ever.

I've also discovered that she is daddy's number one fan!!!! Tonight in the van we had some golden oldies on and Jeff began dancing with his head while he was driving and just being goofy. Gracie thought this was hysterical. Just what he needs...an audience.

Gracie is asleep, she went down a little later tonight so maybe that will mean a little later sleep in tomorrow. Hmmmm???!!!

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
