An update

So here we are August 31st... Gracie is almost 14 months and things are moving and shaking for that little one!
Developments:
  • She is walking! Everywhere! Which means we are running! Everywhere!
  • She had 6 teeth come in within one week (she had 2 teeth for 8 months before)
  • New words: Baby, Kitty, Key, Ruff Ruff, Uh Oh, Thank You
  • She signs for more, please, hungry and thirsty
  • She sleeps through the night (when she is not teething) usually around 5 she will wake up and come and sleep with us
  • She goes outside, pats her chest and says "kitty Kitty" (like here kitty kitty)
  • She kisses icons, books, ducks... everything, but not Mommy and Daddy very often:(
  • Her favorite game is chase... running around the house with mommy and daddy hiding behind doors and screaming when she finds us... SOOO CUTE
  • No longer eats baby food!
  • She loooovvvvess blackberries and peaches (from our land)
  • Takes 2 hour naps! (yippee)
  • Loves slides and WATER!
There are many more, just hard to think of them all at this point. She is so fun, happy, smiley, lovable, huggable, kissable... WE ADORE HER! Even her face when she cries is cute, (not the sounds that come out) I am so happy to spend my day with her, and I am so happy when she sleeps!
I am done working 30 hours per week!! I will work 10-20 now, whenever I can, I continue to baby swap with another mom so we don't have pay for childcare.. In essence... you work 10 hours and get paid for 5 because you're watching someone elses child.... But, in this whole first year, I only paid a babysitter once!!! It's all about who you know!
Stephen works M-F 8-5 and is just an amazing dad. So patient, caring and fun! It is a beautiful thing to see him develop into this fantastic father... He loves every second of it.
Moved in, getting into a normal routine... I love normal, I love my family, I love my life. God has truly blessed me! Thank you God!
