Two Years!

Our little Gracie is two today! It's hard to believe how fast two years have gone by. Watching her grow into a smart, funny, caring toddler has been amazing.

Grace has a great sense of humor and loves to joke around and be silly. She has a beautiful smile and a cute laugh. She's very smart; she knows her colors and shapes, can count to 10 (sometimes higher), and she recognizes the letters of the alphabet. She's a big talker and I love that we can have actual conversations. She speaks quite clearly and is easy to understand. I couldn't count how many words she has, and she learns new ones every day. Her comprehension is amazing and she has a great memory. She can 'read' several of her favorite books. She loves to sing, especially Twinkle Twinkle and Old MacDonald. She loves to dance and loves music.

She's a big fan of Dora. Her favorite toys are puzzles (though the ones we have are too easy for her now), play dough, and her Little People. She likes drawing with crayons and loves stickers. She loves the playground, especially the swings. She still likes being scared and always has a good laugh when her aunt or uncles scare her. She loves getting a bath.

She's a good sleeper. She naps for 2-3 hours each day and goes to bed around 7:30 at night and gets up between 7 and 8 in the morning. She goes to bed so easily (we know we're lucky!) Her blankie is a necessity for sleep. She sucks her two middle fingers and rubs her blanket on her nose to fall asleep.

She's a pretty good eater. She still likes hummus but doesn't ask for it as much as she used to. Spaghetti and meat sauce is still a favorite supper. She loves oatmeal and asks for it every morning. She loves Goldfish crackers and fruit of any kind.

She's a very caring and thoughtful girl. If anyone coughs or says 'ouch' she will always ask "you okay?" She's a great big sister and is very gentle and sweet with Anna. She'll try to soothe Anna when she cries and rubs her little head. She's generous with her hugs and kisses and I love hearing her randomly say "I give Mommy/Anna/Daddy a kiss" and she'll walk over and pucker up.
