15 and Counting

Our little Gracie is 15 months old today! She fills our world with so much joy. I sometimes feel like life began after Grace. She is a-l-m-o-s-t walking...Carl and I have been sitting on the floor having her practice walking back and forth to us. She can definitely do four or five steps by herself (and resembles Frankenstein) but then she just gets giggly and goofy and unfocused. It's fun to practice! Her preferred method remains the one-legged scoot/crawl. She will finally keep bows in her hair, which is getting quite long. She has seven teeth - two of which are molars! She is quite a ham and makes the best expressions. Her favorite word remains "Hi" to all - strangers and friends alike. She has an excellent appetite - right now her favorite foods are fresh blueberries, bananas and cheese. She loves books, our dogs, anything she can push, walks through our neighborhood, swimming, rides in the car and rides in her new chariot, complete with helmet. (The helmet she doesn't love so much, even though the picture might fool you.) We are so lucky to be your parents on this grand adventure!
