Grace is 14 Months...and Liam 34 Months!


New Things I Can Do:  I'm understanding more and more.  When I hear something interesting, like an airplane, I will point to my ear.  I'm crazy about animals!  I'm so excited and dive bomb when I see chickens or cats--and I love pointing at the birds in my backyard.  I now have 6 teeth and still have two naps a day.  I love cruising around--and can now push my push toys and walk by myself (with the help of Zebra and Liam's car).  I love dancing and doing the actions to the song, "Itsy Bitsy Spider." 

My Favourite Thing To Cuddle:   Timmy, Jenny's cat; Big Mouse and Dolly; My Doudous--and Liam! 

My Favourite New Toy:   I love carrying around the "Little People" farm animals--and hiding them in interesting places.  I'm very grateful for my brother sharing his pillow and rattle with me. 

Foods I Like:  I love blueberries!  But I'm getting to be an even messier eater--I throw EVERYTHING onto the floor! 

Funny Things I Do:  When my parents say "no" to me, I shake my head but keep on doing it!  I'm great at kicking and splashing during my swimming lessons. 




    I'm getting to be so big and really look forward to turning 3 soon.  I know the months in the year...so I'm continually reminding my parents that my birthday is in March.  I love, love, love reading--and like sounding out the letters in everything I say.  I'm still mad about Thomas the Tank Engine and other trains.  I'm always asking to draw--and am getting pretty good at it.  I can sit outside all day and watch the workmen busy with the construction on our street!

Grace is 13 months!


New Things I Can Do:  I now have 5 teeth.  I love holding onto people's hands and walking around a room.  I can even let go of one hand when holding on to furniture now.  I also impressed Liam by pushing the car around and getting onto his car by myself.  I can now stack rings.  I pull everything off of shelves---poor Mommy has to put it all back!

Words I Can Say:   Mama, Roar...lots of bababa, dadadada, lalalala and I point to everything that I want.

Funny Things I Do:  I kick my feet and splash Liam in the bath (we sometimes take it together now).  I love playing football with Daddy and Liam and am getting pretty good at kicking the ball around whilst sitting. 

Food:   I've started to eat rice cakes and I love them.  But I'm becoming pickier and sometimes I refuse my dinner.  I drink now only from a bottle and love my milk.
Here's my cheeky smile!

Santa Claus gave me a new toothbrush for Christmas and I love brushing my 5 teeth.

I love dancing, especially to Katy Perry's Roar!

Christmas

Apron on and baking shortbread.

Despite our colds, we were both excited on Christmas Eve.

"My trains are very happy now that they have a track."

Merry Christmas!

We both don't remember last Christmas....so we were in for a few surprises.

It's nice to meet you Cranky.

My favourite saying at the moment is "Never fear!"  Fire fighter Liam's here!
