Grace is 18 months old this week. She loves music, being outside and her stuffed animals, including Tiger, pictured here. When we go for walks, she loves getting out of the stroller and running down the sidewalk. She can say "happy" "airplane" "moon" "shoes" "...pooter (-that is for computer. ) She loves Winnie the Pooh and loves to dance to the Backyardians. Her favorite books are Clifford, Hop on Pop, One fish Two Fish and Caps for Sale. She spends a few days a week with "Poppa" and "Gramma" where she has a great time visiting the bunnies, birds, and being pulled in the wagon. Our 18th month old is solidly in 12 months clothes - and looking like she will blow right past them shortly, so we've packed away most of 9th month old stuff and pulled out the 18th month clothes today. Lately, Gracie has not been sleeping through the night, either waking very early and refusing to go back to sleep, or just waking up. It maybe that she is getting new "teef" or It maybe because Mom went back to work a few weeks ago or that she's on to her paranoid parents mission to remove the giant stuffed animals from her crib as she sleeps, because she is all of 18 lbs and barely outweighs her very favorite, Tiger. She seems to prefer her animals by weight, because
the next favorite is also the second heaviest, "Fat Cat". Or it could be that she's having a great time and doesn't want to miss a second.
