Liam is 2 Years Old!

New Things I Can Do: Put on my shoes by myself; drop-kick (volley) a ball; make "silly" sounds; help wash the dishes; run extra fast.

New Words:  I love saying "knee", "Grace", "more!"

Favourite Animal: Ducks

Friends I see often:  Amy, Megan, Oliver, Eva

Favourite Hobbies: Playing with balls (kicking, throwing, everything to do with them!), reading books, and singing and dancing (my favourite song at the moment is Old Macdonald!).

Foods I like:  Just had my first taste of cake and I kept saying, more! More! More!

How I celebrated my 2nd Birthday: I had a couple of friends over for snack time with cake.  I was so excited to blow out my candles, I wouldn't let Poppa try to blow them out!  I got a Mickey Mouse balloon and we all wore Mickey Mouse ears.   And on Mother's Day, I had a second family birthday party at Nana's and Poppa's. 

Grace is 3 Months Old!

New Things I Can Do:  I try to reach for my dangling toys off my chair; I'm staying awake longer and love staring at the pictures on the wall; I love looking at the magnets on the refrigerator.   I've started to sleep more in my cot upstairs and I sleep the whole night upstairs now.  I've also begun settling myself down to sleep without making any fuss and can go a night without crying!

Funny Noises I Make:  I've started to make cooing sounds. 

I smile when... My brother Liam leans in really close to me and makes faces.  I also smile when Mommy and Daddy smile at me.

Cute Things I Do:  Always twisting my neck one way (I quite like looking over my left shoulder).  I love being held over the shoulder and can settle down quickly in that position.  I also love looking in the mirror!

My Feeding patterns:  I know drink every 4 hours and am fully breastfed.  I love to eat and can take up to an hour a feed!  When Mommy feeds me, she is often reading Liam and I a story. 

My Favourite Lullabies:  Gracie Gracie (sung to the tune of Daisy, Daisy) and Little Gracie We Love You (sung to the tune of Mary Had A Little Lamb).
