the potty..florida..the big bed.. and more!
Wow.. we have had so much happen in the last month or so :) I'll blog in chunks tonight!
Potty Time!!
I am going to say that Grace is 90% potty trained. We have been working on the potty for the last 6 months or so, and she has gone when we placed her on the potty or randomly asking, but this last 2 week she has flipped the switch from potty training to potty trained! We have WAY more hits than misses. She stayed dry DAY and NIGHT from friday to monday while we were on vacation :) She is such a big girl :) We stayed in panties all day today and she was able to run in the restroom, undress herself, and pull her panties back up :) THOUGH one time she came out inside out and backwards.. but I'm not complaining :). She says "Gracie do it HERSELF!!" I can't believe my baby isn't a baby anymore.. :(
FLORIDA!
We took Grace to Florida to visit my dad's side of the family in St. Augustine. We left on Friday and drove to Houston where we flew straight shot to Jacksonville Florida. Grace did pretty good on the way there. She definitely knew we were in the air. She sat sooo still when we first took off and told me to "Closa window momma." She didn't like to see us "up high". She kept asking to "Put it down". She only panicked when we were landing and experiencing a little turbulance :) Daddy calmed us down and held on tight.
She was the most well behaved kid EVER in florida.. She listened, stayed close, was flexible, napped in the car, LOVED the beach and the sand and the water and the sun and ALL of the family. She fed the turtles, rode in a horse drawn carriage, dug in the sand, collected shells, ate pizza, danced to a band, and slept in between Mommy and Daddy at the hotel. We got so many complements on how "good" she was, and of course how cute or little goober is.
It was SOOOO great to see all of our Florida family and for Grace to spend time with her G and Cha-Cha.
"NO MORE BABY BED"
So we get home from Flordia and Grace sleeps perfect in her crib that night. The next day, I put her in her crib for nap and she starts fighting immediately. She is fussing and whining and then all of the sudden I hear blood curdling scream.. I RUN in there and my sweet baby has her leg stuck in the top and is hanging by her leg! I pulled her out and checked her out.. no limping, just and ugly bruise on her knee and thigh. She napped on the couch, while I called Mike to prep him for us having to move Grace to the bed that night. We had a rough first night. I take all of the blame for that.... I underestimated her and completely changed her routine and patted her to sleep. Big mommy no-no. She woke up PANICKED about 12:45 that I wasn't in there. I quickly switched to my nanny mode and just sat at the end of her bed until she was quiet... then I stood in the doorway... then in the hall, until I saw her flip on her tummy (3:35am) then I went to bed. She slept till 8 the next morning. The next night we went back to the original night time plan, which is GRACE puts GRACE to sleep.. no rocking, no patting, no holding, no laying down with her. Harsh huh? Don't judge, I'm growing a self soother with great sleep habits and no bedtime fears :) Mommy and Daddy read her a story, we gave our kisses and hugged all necks, we turned off the light, turned on the music and I sat at the end of the bed facing away from her. after 2 minutes I got up and stood in the doorway, after 2 more minutes I left. DONE. No crying, no whining.... she slept all night long. Tonight, so far so good. We did the same routine, and she was asleep before I even left the doorway :) Praying it stays this smooth :)

So grown!
Grace has started using a "big girl cup" This week and is doing really well! They are moving her to 2 year old room July first and they only drink from a regular cup soo we are practicing! She did sooo good with it last night drinking her "lemmyaid" hah.
Ok soo little miss sassy is becoming more and more independent. She wants to do everything by herself. She tells us "Gracie do it HERSELF!" From holding her cup, wanting to mop, button her pants, you name it! Though, mike did ask her to throw something away this morning for him and she told him "Daddy do it himself" HAHAHA. When she plays with her blocks we hear non stop "ooo watch this! look at this! watch mommy!" Our little chatterbox is doing really well with talking in full sentences. She is struggling with the "f" sound.. using "tsss" insead. But that will come in no time. She is using the potty really well, even waking up to tell us in the middle of the night (uhhgg for mommy).
She wants to be a BIG GIRL soo bad!! Haha, our neighbor Madison is her all time favorite person. When we go outside she immediately asks "Where did Mad-ni-son go?" :) We will celebrate her 2nd birthday too soon!!Thursday, June 16, 2011

We are thoroughly enjoying our nightly evenings outside in our little pool. Just look at the joy on that angels face!

Sweet girl.. Rough day
Sweet baby had a hard day at school today... Started of the afternoon with a phone call that she was crying, they were thinking teething pain because she had 6 teeth coming in :). Jill brought her tylenol and she did better. Then at 4 they called to say her eyes were swollen and she had sensitivity to light.... Off to upa where we found out she had a laceration on her corneas, from what? who knows? So we have an eye patch for a little while. I swear this child knows how to stir my nerves everytime we get ready to go on a trip! Praying for a quiet,uneventful, tylenol induced sleep for miss priss. :)
