Gracie really wants to walk! She pulls up on everything! She still isn't cruising along furniture but today she stood up to the dining room chair and started pushing it. Earlier in the day, I had gone to Target and bought a baby stroller for her to push around. I loaded it with weights and tried to get her to walk with it. It took a while but she finally started getting it. Then she surprised me with this while I was doing dishes. Soon, she will be getting some SMO braces for her feet. Hopefully that will make it a bit easier for her to walk and I am sure she will enjoy not having the inside of her ankles touch the ground when she stands! She'll be cruisin' around the house before we know it!

Grace At The Window
Gracie has recently learned how to pull to standing and she loves practicing this new skill. Here is a little video of her at the window yelling outside. I think she was yelling at the bird that was on the lawn with a few "Bruh, Bruh's" in there just to make sure Grant was watching (which he was not). Pardon the horrible lighting, the fact that Grace looks like Raggedy Ann (she had just woken up from a nap), and that the end of the video is a series of crashes, etc. Enjoy!

Pushover?
I am pretty sure that I am a pushover.
push·o·ver (p
sh
v
r)n.
Why do I say that? Because I cannot resist the cute faces of my children and the cute wiggling nose of a baby bunny. You've got it folks...we bought ANOTHER pet! I am pretty sure Adam isn't too happy with us. :-) But honestly, it was all very innocent. The kids and I are visiting my parents in Georgia and we had to go to a farm supply store to pick up some things. Those dirty bounders had a trough filled with adorable baby bunnies. Grant was in heaven and Gracie was in heaven. We held a few and then we picked up Socks. And like I said, there was much pleading, many giggles, and bright smiles so I became a pushover and bought the bunny. He has the cutest little white feet and he is so good with the kids. He doesn't try to run away and LOVES to chase Grant. We put him in with Patchedees (after checking with a Vet to make sure that was okay) but quickly learned that they would need separate cages. Patchedees thought Socks was pretty cute and just couldn't stay away! (wink, wink)
And for your viewing pleasure...here are a few pictures (okay like a million of Grace) of the adorable children who have turned me into a pushover.
At what age will I be able to get a normal smile out of my child? Regardless, he is blasted cute!
He asked to use the camera so he could take some pictures to put on the blog to show daddy. I am quite impressed with his photography skills...now let's just train him on photoshop.

And sister--I told her to take out her binkie and was surprised she listened.
Now what mom?
This is her face she pulls when she does something she thinks is funny and that she knows she is not supposed to do...like throwing things out of the basket while shopping, putting tape and random papers in her mouth, ripping off her glasses, trying to put a bottle of hairspray in her mouth (which she had just started to do)...you name it!
Gracie LOVES to take things out of cabinets!
Then she carefully puts them back in.
I've been caught!
