One and walking!

An international move means things get a little crazy and blogs get neglected, but I want to make sure I give Grace her due for turning the big ONE! She thoroughly enjoyed her third Minnie Mouse themed family party held by Memaw and Papa even if she was a little tired before the sugar perked her up.

So, what is Grace like as a one-year-old. She's incredibly precious!

She can now WALK! (She is so cute when she throws her little hands up above her head and staggers around.) I will have to post a video soon. (She didn't start walking until a little after the Big Day, but what does that matter.)

She has become quite the picky eater, but she loves cherry tomatoes, grapes, Cheerios, bran flakes with milk, Gerber's wagon wheels (apple flavor only), cheese toast, peanut butter, sometimes fried eggs and hamburger, yogurt and ice cream. (This may, unfortunately, be a comprehensive list of everything she's willing to eat.) This is a new experience for me as Archie is like a toddler garbage disposal. He will even eat lettuce salads, which is a shocker to me. (Even I don't eat iceburg lettuce...)

She loves her new kitchen and pretty much anything with wheels she can push. We love yard sale deals on riding toys! The best is her tree swing in our front yard and playing with brother!

She is slowly warming up to other people although I am still the definite favorite. The other day when I picked her up at nursery it was just a melt-your-heart moment. The nursery worker was standing holding her and her little head was just borrowed into her chest doing these gasping tyring-not-to-cry-from-missing-mommy sobs. Thanks for patient workers who don't call me at the slightest peep!

She is 18 lbs and 31.5 inches. This means she's off-the-charts tall and in the 10th percent weight category. Oh well! We do feed her! The doc wasn't worried.

She's a delight!
