We are still here..

Yikes! It has been three months since a post, and no I have not given up on the blog. Our computer was having some issues and we finally fixed it and it is up and running as fast as ever.

I can't possibly summarize two months in a blog (you know how wordy I can be), so I will post a few pictures and let them do most of the talking.

Grace's new favorite words:
yellow, pretty, puppy, wipes, mine (we don't particularly enjoy this one), uppies, tea, Elmo, peepees, and bottle (she now refers to her sippy cup as bottle and her milk as wawa)
Grace's current favorite books (although she is fickle and this can change at any moment):
Ten in the Bed, Goodnight Gorilla, We're Going on Bear Hunt, and Pat the Bunny
Grace's favorite activities:
eating, petting dogs, coloring, going to the park, carrying around bags and cleaning (yes, she cleans up her messes and helps dust, vacuum, swiffer and wipe up spills).

Grace loves all things pretty and will use that word to describe a number of things: a flower, a necklace, lace, a dress, etc.

Sunday girls day out with baby Shea

St. Patrick's Day dinner: Colcannon with panfried white beans and kale.  

 

  Meghan's first birthday at Midtown Terrace Playground. The Merry-go-Round was Grace's favorite thing!

My folks came for a visit in April. We went to Temescal Park in Oakland and Grace got to put her feet in the water.  We had a wonderful lunch in Rockridge at Wood Tavern.  The best part of the visit (sorry Mom and Dad),was getting to go out to a dinner party with friends. A child free social engagement! Heaven!

Grace with Grandpa. She was shy to walk on the sand in her bare feet, so he had to help her.

She loves birds and "dush" (ducks)

How many people does it take to keep Grace out of the water?

All dressed up for Easter. It happened to be raining that day so we celebrated indoors.

 

Grace went to Alaia's first birthday at Gymboree. She had never been there and let em tell you, she was on cloud 9. She had so much fun!

 

 

 

 Already likes older men!

We finally got Grace a rug for her room. The hard wood floors were so difficult for her to feel comfortable playing on. The day that it was delivered she laughed non stop and for the next few weeks proceeded to do log rolls all over the rug and run around in circles laughing.
