Gracie turns 4!

My little sweetie turned 1 yesterday! I can't even believe a year has passed by. I am a little sad, but a also excited for what's to come. It's so fun to see her learning and growing. She has the cutest personality.
She loves music and she bounces up and down when I'm singing or Max is dancing around the front room.
She is getting huge! She was over 20 pounds last time I took her in to the doctor.
She loves the bath and will literally try to crawl in if she hears the water running. If she is ever in a bad mood, the tub will cheer her up!
She absolutely loves Max and he makes her giggle all of the time.
She gives kisses, claps, and waves hello really well.
When we leave the room she gets upset and throws a little tantrum by laying her head in her hands and crying. She is very dramatic about everything.
She is a very good baby and is rarely cross unless she is tired or hungry or someone leaves her alone in a room.
Mike taught Gracie to lay her head on his shoulder when he says "ahhh!." It is very sweet and we absolutely love it when she snuggles with us!

Ayla was staying with Grandpa and Grandma Ulrich and she came to Gracie's party with them. She was so cute trying to feed Gracie her birthday cake.

Gracie was very spoiled on her birthday and got musical instruments, a Jessie doll, 2 books, outfits, cowgirl boots, mary jane shoes and stacking toys! The other kids loved her toys as much as she did!
She kept trying to grab the candle off of her cake. It was a bear with a tutu. The colors were very bright and fun just like my little chubbykins!

It was extremely difficult to get Max and Gracie to smile at the same time and the flash was bothering Gracie so she kept squinting.


Here is a spread of some of the toys she got for her birthday. I took the picture before Grandma and Grandpa Lewis and Ulrich showed up:)

She did pretty well opening her presents. She ripped open the paper on her own.


Happy Birthday Gracie Kay! We love you so much and we love watching you grown. You can stop growing now please!
