18 months old :)
Grace had her 18 month check up today, she hits 19 months march 4th. We had a few concerns with this visit but other wise our little monkey is doing so great developmentally! She is talking in 3 word sentences, repeating just about everything we ask her too, starting to sing songs, and even telling stories. She is so cute walking around saying "Here yago Momma" , "Hi my Daddy" "Come on, Willie" ... what's even sweeter is that she trys so so so hard to say some things and they come out all kinds of jaberwackied! Our favorite is the simple "STOP" Grace yells " POTS!" and as hard as she trys she can not say Elmo (who is her favorite) she says "LALO" And when she is talking about her "toys" she says " play TEES" "TEEs please" She just started doing "pretty eyes" last week.. which is the all too darling batting her eyelashes, such a stinker.
She weighed just over 21 lbs today and was 31.5 inches tall. She's been on the same growth line ever since she was born... 55th percintile for height and less than 10th percentile for weight, no worries as long as she stays on her little line :) They gave us a neat piece of information today.. that little girls, at 18 months, are half as tall as they will be fully matured! So they predicted Grace at 5'3-5'4 tall!!! I'M EXCITED, because as you know I am 4'11 HAHA... So taller is taller is taller. Boys can't be predicted until they are 2ish.
We are dealing with some asthma issues right now, we are blessed that it is nothing more serious than that :) Nothing a couple of steriod rounds and albuteral treatments can't fix :)
We are FIGHTING this child to eat.... I pray for her appetite every day. She lost almost a pound in the last 2 weeks , but she had the flu.. so that can be attributed to that. We cant get her to eat willingly anything but cheese, yogurt, snack crackers and puffs, and those baby "superfood" pouches (which are like capri-suns but fruit/veggie/grain/omega-3 mix). I might lose mind soon. She wont eat any raw fruits or veggies except the occasional banana. She will only eat chicken with ketchup or lunch meat turkey, and we have to give her those by themselves or she'll eat the other whatever it is we gave her first. My goal is to get her eating raw foods by the end of the summer.. those of you who really know me, know that if I don't get my way it only makes me work that much harder to get it! Fight the good fight, ya know?
Its TAKS crunch time with my 8th grade math kiddos.. So I pray that I have the strength and motivation to motivate my kids to have strength and motivation!
I have a good friend at school who just gave us a TON of such great hand-me-downs for Grace, and we have had so much fun playing dress up!

Our little jibber jabber
Grace is starting to have conversations... About nothing, with nobody. Worried? Nahh.
This chick is a hoot, she cracks us up! These are some of the things we are hearing coming our of this wild child?
Looking for willie "willie...are you?!", talking on the phone"dee dee, hello, bye" all the time "hi my daddy" "hereyago momma" "outside.... Coooooooollld" and if she's hungry she said all of her words "eat snack food please" haha
Her favorite thing to do now is listen for my "talk to you later cue" when I'm on the phone and she yells "byeeeee"

The flu and a little snow
Grace came down with the flu monday... so we spent this week indoors recovering. Jill picked her up early monday, I stayed home Tuesday, Grandma Wednesday, Daddy Thurdsay and FRIDAY SNOWDAY!! She is much better today and full of energy! She is desperate to get out of the house, I'm sure we'll find something for her to do in this cold weather.
