Gracie had a good night last night and even treated me to sleeping in until 6:40 a.m. this morning. She awoke in a good mood and we all had a leisurely breakfast together. I took Gracie out for a walk this morning and she loved the fresh air. After our walk/stroller ride we stayed outside and played. We took Gracie's car outside and let her drive that. She is great at backing up, but doesn't quite have going straight or frontward figured out yet. All in due time. Gracie's little legs were just a moving.
Gracie took a short nap this morning and didn't really want much for lunch. She did eat her pears and I had leftover Chinese food that appealed to her, so she helped me eat my rice and broccoli. Gracie signed "more" today. We've been working with her for sometime and today she wanted more rice and broccoli and signed "more". YAY!!!!!
It was just Gracie and I this afternoon as Jeff had to work. All that fresh air caught up to Gracie and she took a 3 hour nap this afternoon. It should have been my time to be productive, but instead, I slept part of that time with her. We had a couple of other successes today too. Gracie pointed with her index finger today. Gracie gave me a mylar balloon for mother's day that she quite loves. Today she accidentally released it from it's string and it sailed up to our vaulted ceiling. She kept pointing at it. She also selected a plastic toy bear that fits in her hand and sat on the floor with it in her hand, then she would purposefully drop it to the floor and then pick it up, put it in her palm, and drop it again. She did this continually for a couple of minutes. I just sat back and watched.
This evening after supper we took another walk/stroller ride and then played outside some more until bath time. Gracie was very snuggly tonight and she sat on my lap for about an hour as we read book after book. She is very selective about what books are to be read and when. We had to read "Raindrop Plop" three times in a row. She has a book about all the things Baby Elmo can do and at the end it asks "How Big is Elmo?" and then you read "So Big" and a big Elmo pops up. Tonight we got to the page before Elmo pops up and she put her hands high up in the air for "So Big". She knows her books.
Gracie was tired again tonight from all the fresh air and is sleeping soundly.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
