1st time at the library!

Friday is the only day Grace doesn't have any

scheduled therapies..soo we ventured out today to the Library..

(it was short lived but we had a good time)

 

here she is.. sitting up like a very big girl

in a chair..

 

how proud she makes me!!

her feet were resting on a little shelf under neat the table..so

she sat in the chair so upright.. it was awesome!!

 

We read a couple of books, she played with that cube..

and then we had to go.. (diaper duty!!)

 

 

And since then, she's been a BEAR.. RRRRR!!

Her poor 2 year molars are really taking there sweet time coming in

and she's having a rough time with the pain!

I feel bad for her!!

 

 

 

Anyway, I have a big event tonight at a local winery with

Tastefully Simple..send happy thoughts when you read this..

for a successful event!

 

Tomorrow is mall walking day with Grace..

 

 

Thanks for reading & catching up with us!

 

love,

pattie & gary, Grace & maxwell



Milestone Monday (I know it's Tuesday!)

Yesterday, Auntie Dalila was over & put Grace down in a sitting position,

and let go.. & this happened

 

 looking up at us..like Whhhaaattt??? :)

 

So today she was playing with her puppy..

Even her OT was impressed with her sitting up..

It feels like it's taken a long time, but these milestones are finally

happening & we couldn't be happier!

She will be great in school...

 

God love her!

so do we!!

 

 

 

Thanks for reading and sharing our joy!!

love,

pattie & gary , Grace & maxwell



Hangin with my friend!

Me & My new friend hung out yesterday..

 

This is my friend, Austin!

 



 Hanging in Vevo's chair.. I think she has had this chair for 46 years (at least)..

Where or Where is Grace??

listening to cool tunes!

 

 

She's getting sooo big.. speech therapy is back tomorrow, our 1st weekly visit

now Grace gets therapies 4x's a week..

she's been making alot more noises lately (like when she's pulling my hair)..

I might just have to let her so speech can hear the sounds!

 

Blowing kisses like crazy too! (to everyone!)

 

 

 

 

Love this little miracle!

 

 

thanks for keeping up!

love,

pattie & gary, Grace & max



Walking & Swinging..

Yup.. we had a great weekend ..weather & family!

It was high 50's yesterday, and high 40's today (heat wave for us)

 

Yesterday we got Grace out to the local mall..with her

walker..& she did soo awesome!

 

(I'll post a video shortly!!)

 

 this is around 5pm tonight.. the sun still out & her first time in the swing for 2014 :) she looks sooo big & still loves it!

 Finally sitting on the dog.. soo tall.. almost there to do it herself....

 loving catching 'bubbles'

 

 

ending the day with a selfie!

 

 

And walking at the mall....  sooo COOL!!!

 

 

 

Tomorrow we'll meet PT at the mall again for some walking!

Her PT will be soo proud of her..just as we are!!

 

 

 

 

Thanks for keeping up with our little miracle!

And this is why she's going to be great...

when she starts school.. and Grace will start a toddler room

(1 day a week for 2 hours) in April..

 

She loves other children.  And she waves at them, and blows

them kisses.

 

We met up with our babysitter & her grandson today..

I put "Austin" near Grace..and she immediately reached

out to hold his hand.. it was 'awe' sooo cute!!

 

 

Her 2 year molars are coming in..so she wasn't going to give up

that blue strap.. but she did hold his hand.. she is just soo loving!!

(she did try to pull his hair too :)

 

 

 

 

 

 And in other news.. I'm trying after 40 something years, not to bite my nails.. and it's helping with this new sticker application of 'jamberry' nails'.. soo this is pic is my nails after 2 weeks of wearing the new 'jamberry nails'..and the pic below is my new jamberry nails this week... soo we'll see how my nails look in another 2 weeks.. they're cute, fun & creative.. :) (like me!)



 

They aren't suppossed to chip or break off, and easy to put on & take off..

I haven't bitten yet!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone up here in New England is tired of the snow..

tomorrow is supp to be high 40's..

(we'll see about that)

 

 

Grace is doing great.. in her walker & with everything else!

(maybe except eating.. :(

 

 

 

 

 

Tastefully Simple is going well too!

Orders, and Facebook parties galore!

Trying to do a little more for me this year.. but busy with Town Government

meetings as well..  trying!

 

 

 

Thanks for keeping up with us!
