Hello readers, work has kept me busy, but I have finally found a minute to give you all a Grace update. And share some cute stories. :-)
While it is on my mind I'll go ahead and start with a cute story from last night. First I have to get you up too speed though. I'm not sure if I already told you all about the present one of Grace's great grandparents got her for Christmas. It is the book "The Night Before Christmas," but it is a recorded book told by Grace's great grandfather, better known as Papa. :-) This is an extremely special book that I personally will treasure for the rest of my life. And based off how much Grace enjoys it I imagine she will too. :-) We let Grace pick out two books to read each night. Last night one of the books she picked was "The Night Before Christmas." We've read it too her before and told her that this is her Papa telling her the story. So when Grace sees that book she thinks of her Papa. However, the book has a lot of pictures of Santa on it. So she also relates Papa with ole' Saint Nick. :-) Last night when we would turn to a page that had a clear picture of Santa Grace would be listening to Papa's voice and point at Santa and say Papa. :-) It was really sweet. I hope next time Grace sees her Papa she recognizes him even though he doesn't have a fluffy white beard and a red suit. :-) I'm sure once she hears Papa's voice she will realize who it is. :-)
Okay, so on to the Grace update: She is growing like a weed and learning so much. The other day was really warm, so I put Grace into some capris. At least they were capris when Mom made them a few months ago. Now they are like shorts. Oh, and her hair. It is getting so long, and it is just beautiful. I know I'm bias, but Grace really is a cutie pie. :-)
One of my favorite things is my ride home from work each day. It has really gotten exciting as of late. Every day I get home and Grace greets me with a big smile and big hug (which she has done for quite some time now), but she is also doing something completely new. Whether it be Grace's speech, or what she is learning, or whatever, every day she tops herself. So I find myself getting excited on my ride home from work to see what Grace is going to do today. :-)
Grace's speech is really coming together too. We have family dinner time every night, and Mom and I will ask Grace about her day. At first she would say a couple words and that would be that. But now she is putting full sentences together. It is really exciting. Oh, and Grace's memory is pretty good. Nothing gets by this girl. :-) Sometimes Mom and I will say something to her about a treat or something like that, and if we forget to give it to her or Grace's forgets about it the next morning she is asking for it. Another good example of how good her memory is getting is how she will have learned a song at daycare and will come home and start singing something Mom and I have never heard. She is also getting pretty good with her ABC's and her 123's. She doesn't have it down pat yet, but she can definitely fill in the blanks if Mom and I get her started.
Last night I was giving Grace a bath, and she had a bunch of her magnetic alphabet and numbers in the tub with her. I started asking her for a particular letter or number and it seemed like eveytime she was giving me the correct letter or number. We may have a genius on our hands. :-)
Grace, Mommy and I love you so much. You are growing so fast and learning so much!!! It is really exciting!!! :-) You are our little angel and always will be. Thank you for blessing our lives the way you have.
Everybody else, thanks for reading. I'll try to get back and post again soon, hopefully.

A Picture A Day!
Well, I fell off the wagon, but only because sickness overtook our house. No worries, everyone is getting back to normal. Here are pictures from the weekend and Valentine's Day:

A Picture A Day!
These were all taken on February 10, 2011:
So, if you couldn't tell Grace is a real Daddy's girl! Not that she doesn't like her mom, because she does! But only when she is sick or hurt! Grace loves to play with daddy, and read with daddy and cuddle with daddy, you get the picture (literally).
So I have some cute stories to tell you. One of them is going to have to wait till I hear from Daddy though. The other one is just TOO CUTE! I dropped Grace off at daycare this morning, and she was being a bit attached to mommy and didn't want me to go. I had her in my arms and her friends (Ayri and Hannah) were at my feet, saying "Hey Grace!" and tugging on her shoes and smiling real big at her, wanting to play! She eventually got down to play with them, so we said our good-byes, and I went into another room to drop off her bag and jacket. On my way out, I pass by the room that she is in. I looked in, and what do I see? Nothing but adorableness (is that a word?) One of the boys in her class Kamron, was sitting next to her on the carpet (they were both sitting indian style - probably not PC) and Kamron had his right arm around Grace and was talking to her, like they were in deep conversation about how to end world hunger. IT WAS SOOO CUTE! I wish I had my camera. I stood there and watch for a few minutes, and they remained like that while I was there. I left with a smile on my face. But only after I told her teacher to please watch him, they are only two, and I don't need him putting the moves on my daughter! ha
Okay, I will be back later today for another cute story showing how much she is like her father: KEV-DAWG!

A Picture A Day!
This was taken last night....again.
Every night when Grace takes a bath, we put in a different color food coloring. It is a great way to make bath time more fun. Now, Grace already enjoys taking a bath, but now she likes it even more!!!

EASY as 1, 2, 3, A, B, C
Hello all, so yeah, it has been a minute since my last post. Sorry about that. Since I got the promotion at work I haven't had any time to get on here. I can't believe I actually have time to get on here today. But I do, and now I can share all the updates about Grace, as well as some really cute stories.
Grace is doing great!!!!! :-) She is still growing like a weed, and learning new stuff every day. It is so exciting!!!! :-) Grace is getting to be such a little grown up. :-) When I get home from work, which is my favorite part of the day, Grace greets me with a hug and kiss. She is such a little sweetie. :-) Then we sit down to dinner and Grace will tell us about her day. Well, maybe not entirely, but she will hold a little conversation with us. And it is so cute!!!!
Then on to bath time. Grace loves her baths!!! That is daddy's clean little girl. :-) She likes brushing her teeth too!!! Now that really excites daddy. Can you tell I love a clean mouth? :-) Oh yeah, and when we shampoo her hair and wet it you get to see how long it is. And it is getting pretty long. Grace's hair is just beautiful. Especially this one curl. For the most part Grace's hair has gotten wavy, but there is this one perfect curl that is hanging around. Mom and I are scared to cut Grace's hair for the fear that this one curl won't come back. :-) I'm sorry I don't have any photos to post today. I promise mom or I'll get some posted soon, and we'll make sure one is of that curl. :-)
After bath time we usually chill for a little while and then off tobed. Now this is where the news gets really, really, really exciting!!!! :-) Guess who sleeps in their own room now? That's right!!!! GRACIE-POO!!!!! Mommy and I still lay down with her when it is bed time to read hr some stories and to help her fall asleep. But she is really a good girl about the whole process. We tell her it is bed time and she starts making her way up the stairs to her room. Then we go read some books, turn the lights off, and that is that.
Okay, now some cute stories: One night Mom and I were sitting with Grace and letting her play an educational game on the internet. The game had to do with the alphabet. One of Mommy's good friends, Rachel, turned us on to the particular site. Anyway, you press a letter and it tells you the letter and shows you something that begins with that letter. We were looking at the alphabet, and mommy and I asked Grace where the letter Q was. What did Grace do? Pointed right at the letter Q. Mom and I did a double take!!! We were both just blown away!!! Then we started picking other letters at random and Grace kept pointing at them: A, N, P, etc. THE GENIUS CHILD HAS RISEN, MUUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :-) Just kidding, but that is pretty impressive considering Grace just turned two in October. Way to go Grace!!!! You keep doing what you're doing, cause whatever it is it is definitely working!!!! :-)
Now for a cute and funny story. Grace and I were playing with a toy she got for her birthday. It is this little laptop like thing that you can hook up to the internet. One of mommy's co-workers, Kamal, got it for Grace. Anyway, it helps teach the alphabet and stuff like that. Grace really likes it. On one setting you press a letter on the keyboard and it will give you a hint of an animal that starts with that letter. Well, Grace and I were going through the alphabet and we came to the letter M. The hint was this animal likes bananas. I said to Grace, "what animal really likes bananas." While pointing her finger at her chest Grace replied, "Me!!!" I got the biggest kick out of this. :-)
As you can see Grace is learning a lot. She is already trying to recite her alphabet. She has a long way to go, but she knows A B C D E and L M N O P. Grace also is learning her numbers too. She cannot do 1 - 10 on her own yet, but she is pretty good about remembering what number is next when mom or I get it started. We'll say one, and then Grace will come in with two. Then we'll say three and she'll say four, and so on. And sometimes we'll ask her to do it on her own, and she can get to three or four.
Lets see. Other than that this last weekend was gorgeous. We took a family trip to the park. Grace had a ball!!! When we first got there she was a little taken back by everything, but after that first trip down the slide she was right at home. :-) Then after about 50 more trips down the same slide :-) we got to go check the rest of the park out. And she loved the rest of just as much!!! Now that was Saturday. Sunday was even nicer. I washed cars with a little help from my little angel, Grace Anne-Marie. Then we went and saw some neighbors. My friend's nephew caught a lizard, and Grace got to pet it. So that was kind of exciting for her. Then he started playing the guitar, and Grace and all of us just sat around enjoying the music and the beautiful weather. I aksed Grace if she wanted to learn to play an instrument and she said yes. So I'm thinking the piano or the violin.
So needless to say things are going very well!!! Grace is moving right a long, and seems to be enjoying life. And that pleases mommy and I so much. Grace you are our everything. We love you more than life itself, and always will!!! Everybody, thanks for reading. Hopefully it won't be as long till my next post.
