My sweet little angel!

My Gracie Kay is growing up so fast. She is already 18 months old! I really can't believe how much they change in such a short amount of time. Gracie really is a sweetie. Here are some cute things she has been doing lately.

She has always loved Daisy and wants to kiss and hug her every chance she gets. Daisy was her first word and the only word she said for about 5 months.

She loves her big brother and they are starting to play so well together. It's so fun to see Max taking care of her. Tonight they were both pretending to be puppies.

She LOVES her new motorized 4 wheeler that Grandma Kim got her for Christmas. It is hilarious to see her hop on it and zip off. She is a little daredevil and I kind of love it.

She loves swimming and playing the bath tub. She scares me a lot because she likes to dip her face in the water and blow bubbles. Max is always trying to save her life in the tub. I am always there watching, but he can't understand why she would want to put her face in the water. He has always been very cautious.

She will eat anything and everything you put in front of her and always eats more than Max does. He is going to be a skinny mini. She is just the right size and I'm so happy she has caught up to and passed many kids her age with her weight and height. You would never guess that she was 8 weeks early.

She is starting to talk more and more every day. She mimics me a lot and knows how to get what she wants now, so she isn't throwing tantrums anymore!

She loves to sing and dance. She surprised us at Christmas time when we realized she knew all of the actions to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town,' I had been forcing Max to sing it for everyone and one day we noticed she knew it too. It was so adorable.

She sleeps really well and is always a happy baby in the morning.

She loves her little baby dolls and calls them 'babayee.' She kisses them and rocks them and puts them 'nih night.' She always has a baby in her arms.

She loves to dress up and play in my make up, which kind of scares me a little. I always have to be on the look out for abandoned chap stick. She will put it all over her body if I don't watch closely.

She is a sweetie and knows how to ham it up in front of new people. She blows strangers kisses in the grocery store and says 'Hi' to people when they pass us.

She loves books and if she ever goes missing we can find her in Max's room on the bean bag chair looking at his books or playing his piano. She insists on shutting the door when she does this. It's almost like she already needs her privacy. It's funny.

She is a snuggly baby and will rest her head on my shoulder if I sing to her or rock her. I absolutely love it!
I love my little Gracie Kay! She is so fun to have around!
