Congrats Josh & Alexis! + 18 Months

Our Hebert family has so much happening right now! (Part of why this blog has been lacking in new posts.) Two weddings and a baby on the way! We are so happy to be a part of such special events and to love and be loved by this amazing family.

Congratulations to brother Josh & Alexis, who were married in KC Nov. 20th. Everything about the eve was fabulous. We're just sorry we didn't get a photo with those two! Gracie LOVED the music and was dancing most the night! Mimi and Papa Lear were enjoying the music with her. Carl was a groomsman in the wedding. Gracie and I tried to keep it quiet during the ceremony, but she couldn't resist telling her daddy "hi" a couple times.

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and Grace hit another milestone...18 months! She weighs 25 lbs., 14 oz., which puts her in the 72nd percentile. She is 34 1/2 inches tall and in the 98th percentile! She is a tall girl. Her favorite words right now are definitely mama, no and uh-oh. She says "huh?" like she's hard of hearing a lot when we address her. It's very cute.

She's moved up to the toddler room at church and brings home art/crafts on Sundays! The other day she pointed to my Bible and very audibly said the word. She loves buttons and light switches of all kinds. She likes to close doors and say "bye bye," only to be thrilled once she opens them again. She favors her left hand while eating but we're not sure anything is conclusive with that yet! Her new favorite food is raspberries, which she loves to put on her fingers and show us with pride!

We've put up our Christmas decorations and her reaction when seeing the lights is "wow" or "woah." We love you, sweet girl! Christmas will be such an adventure with you this year...

Halloween

What a difference a year makes! Our ladybug from last year blossomed into a flower gnome this year. She loved toting her flower bucket around putting candy in it – even though she hardly knows what candy is! I'm sure that'll change next year!
