Gracie's cold is in full force with a constant drain from her nose. This continues to keep her awake at night. She awoke at 12:30 a.m. and was awake until about 2:00 a.m. However, once she fell asleep, she treated mom & dad by sleeping in til 8:00 a.m. We all needed that.
Gracie was in a pretty good mood today. You could tell she was feeling a little bit under the weather as she wanted to be held and rocked more today than usual, but she was pretty independent at times too. The best part of today is that both mommy and daddy were home with her and she got our undivided attention.
Gracie is becoming quite independent and is letting us know that she is a big girl. She no longer wants her food cut in bite size pieces, she wants the whole thing. For example, don't cut up the banana, she wants the whole half. She does pretty well with it, but has to be watched as sometimes the size of the bite she puts in her mouth is way too big. The smile on her face when she gets the banana half is priceless.
Gracie's ears have been bothering her, but we had them checked out and no infection. Today we were watching her Baby Signing Times DVD. One of the signs is "hurt" and they show you how to show which body part hurts. Today she came up to me while it was on and signed hurt by her ears. This was after I had noticed her pulling on them quite a bit. Needless to say, she got to have some Motrin to help with the pain. She also signs "baby" now. Also tonight when Jeff was taking off her shoes, she signed "shoes".
Gracie took a 45 minute nap at noon today and then a 2-1/2 hour nap at 4:00 p.m. This pushed bedtime back quite a bit, but we didn't mind. This just gave us more time to enjoy our little cherub tonight. She was in the best of moods. After supper we ran to JCPenneys for a short while and let her walk the store. She enjoyed that as is was really quiet there so she pretty much had the run of the aisles.
Gracie has her new orthotics and we started her wearing them today. I'm happy to say they fit her very nicely and she does very well in them.
Despite Gracie feeling a little under the weather, we all had a great day. She is now off to sleepy land and I'm hoping for a quiet night.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie Good Girl
