Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

It's been a great year, and although Grace doesn't understand Christmas 100%, she

sure had a big smile when she saw Santa's gifts.. & she loves the tree & the lights.

 

Grace hadn't been feeling that well in the last five days.. but she woke up yesterday

finally back to her little self.. a slight fever today, but we are chalking it up to teething! (still!!)

 

 

We hope you enjoy this wonderful holiday making memories with your loved ones!!

I know we will!!

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas!!

Love,

pattie & gary, Grace & maxwell

 

 

 Christmas Morning Excitement!!



December pics..

Hey everyone.. Grace is doing wonderful at school..

we've had some proud moments this week, counting today's written in note

says that Grace's 'motor imitation' is at 75%!! (highest yet).. meaning that when they

ask her to touch her belly, nose, hair or stick your tongue out.. whatever they ask her to do

she is at 75% in doing it!!

 

She is signing "more" continously when asking for things..both at school & home..

and KISSES.. she is just FULL of them!!

Last night at Kmart, she waved randomly at a woman & then blew her a kiss!

When we ran into another pre-school teacher who called out her name, she turned

and waved back..and was so excited to see her 'out' in the real world.

 

 

Here's some cute pictures from the last week..

 Grace & her BFF!!

Sitting up like a big girl!! And we have a video of Grace (I'm going to try & post) sitting

up herself from the laying down position.. this is the FIRST time I've seen her do that..

 

PROUD moment!!

 

 

Her pre-school picture!!!

 

 

Visiting with Santa.. & then eating a blue candy cane!

 



 

 

 

She is getting soo big! It's such an enjoyable time with her..

and we are looking forward to seeing Santa again this weekend..and doing a little shopping

& most definitely putting up our tree!!

 

Grace is doing great.. thanks for the continued prayers!!

She goes for her first outpatient PT today.. & then feeding & speech tomorrow..

busy times..but also fun & filled with JOY!

 

Blessed !!

 

 

Love,

pattie & gary, Grace & maxwell

First Christmas Concert

Grace had her first pre-school Christmas Concert today..

me & dada went.. and I had to move my seat, crawl up the aisle & kneel

down through the performance to get some good pictures!!

 

Their song was, "Must be Santa" (clap!)

 

Here's some pictures..

 

  In the wagon.. & looking out into the crowded room...

  Unfortunately, Grace LOVES hair.. she doesn't mean to be fresh.. & doesn't know her own strength..

 

 but it did result in this:

  Sorry, friend!!

And this was yesterday, when they made gingerbread men in school with playdoh..

soo cute.. i'm thinking she needs some playdoh tools at home!

We are definitely going through clothes & toys..

wayyy too much of each!

 

 

all continues to be well here.  extra outpatient PT starts next week..and

an evaluation for more speech & feeding next week too..

 

 

love y'all,

pattie & gary, Grace & maxwell



We're back & with pictures..

Arrived back from NY this afternoon.. Grace did great with the car rides to & from..

you can see in pictures, she looked so big playing with Noni on the floor..

and her cousin, Johnny Jr!!

 

She even had her first chicken leg.. (lol).. tasting it anyway!

She also sipped from a straw the first day we were there..

it was a fun time.. but as always glad to be home..

 

Onward to December..

 

 this is Noni's chair & Grace is copying how Noni sits in her chair..
