One Year!

I used to think birthday party's for one year olds was just ridiculous. Well, I totally get it now. When Gracie was about 8 months old I started thinking about her birthday and got super excited. I was on Pinterest non stop looking up decorations and ideas for first birthdays. I think I had way more fun actually planning it all out than was the actual party. Non the less, it was a day we'll treasure forever! The day Gracie turned one was the day she decided she would only walk. Super funny how that worked out. Guess she realized she was old enough to stop crawling and it was time to join the big kids. There is not much to tell about her first birthday so pictures will have to do. We had our family and closest friends over for some cupcakes and ice cream. It was a fun night!

11 Months

How on earth do I almost have a one year old! They say time flies by with kids. Thats an understatement for sure. I have loved every single stage up to this point and you just seem to get more fun and even cuter by the day! Here is what my Gracie girl can do at 11 months..

Standing by yourself
Took your first step ( a few days shy of 11 months )
You are SO social
Blabbing all the time
Really trying to walk
Playing peek-a-boo really well
You love books
You now know how to throw fits
You are sleeping 12 hours a night!
You LOVE to help mom with the laundry
You are getting to be a little more cuddly
Definitely a mama's girl!
Each week you take more and more steps by yourself!

What a fun month it has been!

10 Months

Somehow you keep getting cuter and even more fun! Now that you are 10 months old you...

Bear crawl everywhere, especially on our wood floor

Celebrated your first Valentines Day

Took your first trip to Seattle with mommy

Came home with RSV and were sick for a month. It was awful for everyone, 

BUT you were super cuddly which mom and dad both loved!

You can sign 'milk' and 'all done'

You started biting mommy...naughty girl

You finally figured out how to walk with your walker

We are switching you from bottles to sippy cup

You love to play on the stairs

Keeping your sunglasses on when we go on walks

Took your first trip to Build-a-bear for your (early) birthday

Saying 'mama' more than 'dada' for once

You can say 'boo' and love to play peek-a-boo with us!

What a fun month!!! Love you more each day princess!

9 Months

9 Months is such a fun age Gracie! You are sleeping through the night which is a dream come true for your parents! You absolutely love our door stops. Mommy doesn't know how you figured out to pull them all off. You'll just drag them around with you wherever you go! You are trying to walk with your walker but don't seem to have too much interest in that just yet. You are also trying to climb the stairs. We don't really want you to figure that one out just yet.. You love taking pictures with mama and you LOVE to watch tv. Especially shows with lots of music. Daniel Tiger is still your number one choice. You love to eat especially if we are eating in front of you. You'll try anything! (Even if it doesn't look that way in the picture!) You still want to nurse every two hours. Finally you say mama! You stopped scooting around when you realized you could just crawl normal! You LOVE to get into the tupperware cupboard and pull everything out! And to mommy's excitement your hair is long enough for a cute little pony tail! Cant believe you are 3/4 of the way to a YEAR! We love you Gracie girl!
