14 Months
Gracyn,
People ask me "How old is she?" and I never know how to respond. Do I say "Oh, she's 1?" or "14 months"? I'll just stick with continuing to count by month until you're at least 18 months. I'm sure that'll be here before I know it.
It's a new year, 2011, and I can't help but look back to where you were this time last year. So tiny and small, so dependent on your Mommy & Daddy to take care of you. You've grown so much. You can feed yourself, you communicate with grunts or by pointing, you understand how to get dressed and push your arms or legs through your shirt or pants. It's amazing to watch you grow and learn. And, boy, have you learned a lot since moving into your new class. You've added so much to your vocabulary, you're thriving on one nap a day. They tell me everyday how funny, sweet and happy you are. You really make us laugh!
Here's what you've been up to:
Clothes: 12m + some 12-18m (Yeah for new clothes for Christmas!)
Shoes: 4.5-5
Diapers: Size 4
Naps: Just one a day in the afternoon. Some days just for 1 hour and others for up to 4 hours. You're a great sleeper!
Eating: You really love to eat! You're definitely our child. You got some really great dessert over Christmas - ice cream, pie and cookies - and you love sweets!
When you had ice cream for the first time this month you would take a bite from your daddy's spoon, eat it with your eyes closed, then run off. You would come running back with your mouth open for more, saying "MMM!". You're too much.
Words: Mama, Mommy, Dada, ogg (dog), more, all ga (all gone), baby (anyone in a photograph is a baby), bu-be (Bubbles the fish @ school), Hi (hold her hand to her ear like she's on the phone!), Bye (wave)
Sign: More
We love you, Mama & Daddy

Thanksgiving Day at the Beach
We spent Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach. The weather was just perfect, blue skies and gorgeous warm weather. Sara, Gracyn & I snuck off to the beach for a little time at the park and an impromptu photo session.
We had a beautiful back drop for some pictures with Mommy. Thanks Sara for taking some really great photos!
Dishwasher Helper
Gracyn is learning every day and her latest skill is climbing into & onto everything. From her rocking chair, to her chair & table in her room, into her toy baskets and even the dishwasher.
Bella is always close by at snack time!
She is a very willing little helper.

13 Months
Gracyn you are 13 months old.
Today at Children's Cottage you move up to the toddler room! We're very anxious about this move, because it will cause a lot of changes to your normal routine. First you will only take one nap. All Day! Second you will eat lunch with your classmates at a table together. I can only imagine how this works! And third, you will take a nap, on a cot. No crib. I'm really curious to see how this turns out! Your teacher's name is Miss Jess and she seems very nice. It's sad to see you move-on, this is a big step I feel like, but I know that they only thing you will being doing for a long time to come is growing. And, although I don't have a baby anymore, you're still my baby, so I'm allowed have a bittersweet moment!
Here's what you're up to these days:
Clothes: 12m / 6-12m
Diapers: Size 4
Naps: Just one! From noon-ish-3pm
Eating: Breakfast, lunch & dinner, plus 2 snacks. And man, for a tiny little gal you can eat!
Right now you enjoy breakfast with daddy and he makes you a waffle or cheese toast and you eat 1/2 a banana. You like cheese-its, nilla wafers, puffs and yogurt melts for snack. Dinner is usually chicken, pork or beef. You still love corn, peas, carrots, green beans and asparagus. You loved sweet potato at Thanksgiving too.
Words: Mama, Dada, oog (Dog)
**I'm really hoping for some growth in this area!
