Twenty Months Old

Grace turned twenty months old today!

Grace has such a strong love of learning and a truly amazing ability to understand and retain new concepts. We are so proud of all that Grace knows and even more proud of the delightful, energetic, caring, bright, gentle, social, and very kind person that she is! Grace's speech and language skills have continued to grow over the past month. Grace really loves to talk and she is speaking in complete sentences the majority of the time now. Grace has so many wonderful thoughts and ideas ~ it is the best things in the entire world to hear all that Grace has to say. She is our Amazing Grace!


Here are a few of Grace's favorite things: talking, Ella, family, letters, numbers, shapes, books, figuring out how things work, matching & sorting activities, Maddy's activity bags, animals, her play kitchen/play food, lotions, going for walks to the lake, the beach, necklaces, dress up, shoes, her baby doll, people & children, cleaning up!, art activities, music, dancing, butterflies, rocks, bike rides, & being outside.

To My Dearest Grace at Twenty Months,

I have been making a list of things that I want to remember about you this summer. Lots of them were captured under your picture. But, here are some more of my favorites:

the way I want to eat you up everytime I see you~how you hold up 1 finger to say just one~your great sense of humor~your love of animals and their sounds~the way you sing "tender shepard" before bed~the way you listen for even the quietest sounds~the way you memorize a song in a snap~the way you love to look at your food presentation~the way you refer to yourself as "Gracie Girl"~your love of buckles~the way you carry things that are sooo much heavier than you are~the sweet way you say "please" and "thank you" with a smile~your love of yellow trucks and cars~the way you look me straight in the eyes when we talk~the way you know all the high and low notes on the piano~the way you can dress yourself~your love of having your teeth brushed with your tongue last~how proud you are of you clothes and hair~your love of rocks~the way you pick up expressions~the incredible way you know all the letters uppercase and lowercase and their sounds~your counting~the way you know right and left~the ever so sweet way you take just one wipe or pick just one flower~the way you say Maddy and Poppy....the best words to hear

I Love You, Gracie Girl.
I want to remember everything about you at twenty months!
