Just a quick Grace Update

Hello all, I just wanted to take a minute to get you all up to speed on how our little angle is doing. :-)

Grace is doing great!!! She is still learning a bunch. Her speech has improved a whole lot and she is saying new words and phrases every day: I love you, what's that, yes sir and yes ma'am, thank you, please, STOP!!!!!!!!!!! :-), book, and a bunch more I can't think of right now. Mommy and I are loving it. It is really exciting to watch (and hear) Grace's progressions. Of course, as far as physical growth goes she is still the tiniest thing. So we are expecting a growth spurt any day now.

Grace is almost 23 months old and we all know what that means: the big 2 is right around the corner. We are all really excited for Grace's b-day!!! I think Mom has been planning Grace's big day in her head since her last birthday. :-) Of course, the plans have changed a couple times, but it will be really nice whichever plan we choose. First, Mom was thinking about a Sesame Street party, where all the guest would where a T-shirt with a differnt Sesame Street character. I thought that one was pretty good, but then we went to Florida for the Fourth of July and Grace got to see a cat. I know, right. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! :-) Well, once that happened Mom decided the party had to be a cat party. (Side note: If you read this please don't decide to surprise us with a cat. I am allergic to them and we can't afford one. Sorry Grace. :-)) So we are planning a cat party!!! Mom is real creative, so I am sure she will come up with something really fun. :-)

Okay, I guess I'll sign off. I don't want to give away to many details about the party. If I did that I wouldn't have anything to write about come October 22nd. :-)

Grace, we love you sweetheart. You are our life. We look forward to this upcoming birthday and all the rest of them. It is going to be a real exciting trip.

Readers, thanks for reading and I hope you will join us on Grace's exciting trip through life. I've decided I will continue this blog through Grace's 18th birthday, so you will be able to hear about it all. :-) Thanks for reading.

Dad
