Growing Up

Our little Grace Lynn turns two tomorrow. TWO!!! I can hardly believe it. She can even exclaim "two" while holding two Texas Tech Raider guns up. She is hitting so many milestones in her little life...

CHATTER BOX...We won't have to worry about Grace's social skills. She is a talker. She is communicating so well and learning new words every day. After very careful listening I can usually decipher what she is trying to say. It is so adorable how she decides to pronounce new words too. "Cat" is "that", "please" is "peas", "water" is "wawa", "bath" is "ba", "blue" is "boo", and the list goes on. She is also putting words together to make sentences I can understand. She still, of course, is jibber jabbering constantly which I could listen to all day. At least she knows what she is saying.


BIG GIRL BED....To add to her big girl milestones, Grace is officially sleeping in her big girl bed! Her Nana (my mom) bought her a twin bed when Elijah was born, but at that time, she didn't want anything to do with it. She has been consistently climbing out of her crib and, recently, unplugging her fan. So, I got an idea from a friend who "trapped" her toddler in her bed with pillows and blankets. It also makes it feel more enclosed like a crib. Grace fussed at first when I laid her down from a nap (I also removed her crib from the room), but she quickly got comfortable and went to sleep. She has been sleeping in her bed every since.
