It's happening.. we are getting close to the date where it all began..
it brings me into some PTSD, but in trying to stay positive it brings me to a place where
I can honestly see Grace is getting older & bigger..and she's soo smart.. so receptive.
She understands what is said to her.. cognition is spot on!
Yup! Grace will be sporting her new glasses in about 4 weeks.. we did this one time before remember? and she wasn't very good about keeping them on? Well, her eyesight has improved quite a bit since then..but she's got some nearsided-ness (both mom & dad are nearsided) happening..so we're hoping the glasses will help. Stop taking Mama's off & wear your on!!
Is this a Milestone or what???? I mean look at this big girl.. with the right positioning..she stands on her own..
sure, she's leaning on the couch a little..but just the fact that she's up & standing there..long
enough for me to take the picture.. Gosh, I love her!!
And from a friend who recently watched her for a few hours..
I love this picture!! Sitting up straight..(which she has been doing for awhile), her infectious smile
and overall happiness!!
Grace has been 'sharing' quiet a bit lately.. your turn, then mine! her & i play her favorite..drums alot!
She loves to take a book & turn the pages..
She's walking everywhere.. (we rarely carry her).. if she motions to get down, we don't stop
her.. we simply let her slide down & then hold her by hands only & she walks to where she
wants to go..
She's back into Music Together (can't wait to take her on Friday).. it's going to be so different this
time around.. we went a few years ago when she wasn't sitting up on her own.. Our babysitter took her last week & they had a great time.. she's even scooting for her own toys..
She's better at independent play.. I can go to the bathroom & leave her with some toys... (wink!)
And most recently we have started pretend play..
she's always been good with pretending with a baby doll..but we're now pretending with 'soup' & a bowl..
or a coffee mug & 'coffee'...
I can't belive in less than a month she will be FIVE!!! Can you believe it...
In a week or so, I will be have written this blog for FIVE years.. how crazy is that!!
I love you Grace..and I'm soo proud of you!!!!
love,
mama, dada & Maxwell
