20 Months

Gracyn,

You are 20 months. Closer now to 2, WOW!

Weight: 26.5 lbs

Diapers: Size 5

Clothes: 18 month & 2T

Shoes: 6

- Lately you've become a master a procrastinating bedtime. You drag it out to say: "more books", "more rock-rock", "more daddy", "more mommy", "more Bedda", "more music" .... anything to stay up a little longer.

- Your vocabulary continues to grow and you're adding words together

New words: Boat, Car, Kakhi, Ketchup, Get Up (you tell me this a lot when I'm not doing what you want), yo-gut, banana, elefant

- You tell Bella what to do when we play fetch or to get a treat: Go Bedda, Bedda sit, Bedda down

- You've developed a picky eating style, we offer you what's been made for dinner but you usually request milk and yo-gut

Asked for a smile & got this face!

Peek-a-boo!

With Bella (Bedda)

First Haircut

It was time. Out with the mini-mullet! Thanks to some personal styling efforts, G has been rocking a mulletesque style lately. It was time to get this situation under control.

DeDe at Seagrass was happy to help.

Baby got her hair 'fixed' too!

Lee thinks this shot is hilarious!

Trimming up the front, slightly successful!

I love this expression. G's thinking "DeDe get that comb out of my face!"

We left with a few strands of hair and headed to Chick-fil-a for lunch. All around everyone was pretty happy!

Last Day at Children's Cottage

Today was a sad day, the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.

Today we left behind friends we've known for a year.

Today I felt the immense love that the sweet teachers of Children's Cottage have for our sweet little girl and it was a wonderful feeling. It's amazing to know that everyday when I say "Goodbye" and head off to work those wonderful women loved my baby!

Gracyn & Ms. Jess (it was waterplay day, hence the swimwear)

We're looking ahead to moving to a new school at Milestones. It's closer to Lee & my offices and we are hoping that it will ease our daily pick-up/drop-off routine. And, I pray that Gracyn will find the same loving and devoted teachers at Milestones.
