Walking...From a few weeks ago
Grace has really taken off walking behind her two toys a few weeks ago. She still is faster scooting and is quick to drop down to her butt.
So Much Fun!
Grace had so much fun playing with Gibson and Aubree. Kristina, the kids and I ate at Ella's Deli and played a ton while Nathan and Brad enjoyed their first Badger game of the season. I was a little worried she would be really crabby because of her sleepless night the night before, but as always she did really well.
Such a big girl
Grace Started to use a fork today. She did such a good job for her first time! now she wants to use the fork for everything. Peas didn't work so well.
So much fun.
Our Neighbors gave Grace this awesome slide. She was so excited and a little dare devil!

Junk Food
Grace had her first taste of junk food about a week ago. She found the bag of Doritos on the ottoman, pulled them down and started gobbling them up.
A Fun Filled Day
We had such a great day. We started out with beakfast at Krispy Kream, then went to some garage sales, played outside and inside then watched the badgers win. A perfect family day! 
Choo Choo
Nathan bought Grace a train set at a garage sale today. I couldnt tell who was having more fun Grace, or Daddy.
Krispy Kream! Yum Yum Yum
We started our fun filled Saturday with a trip to Krispy Kream Donuts. Grace wasnt to sure about the actual donut, but loved the hat and the people watching. She is such a sweetie!!!
Standing all by myself
Grace has been standing by herself a lot lately, and for long periods of time. She feels pretty comfortable walking holding on to things and one of our finders. Now she just needs to catch up in the balance department:) She will get there!

15 Months old
Grace is now 15 months old! More than ever, she is fitting the true definition of "toddler"- toddling all over and expressing her personality at every second.
This month Grace was 32.75" (97.19%) tall and weighed 25 lb 12 oz (76.52%). She only gained 6oz but grew 2inces since her last appointment. The doctor was not concerned, but mom was just a little.
Communication continues to take off around here. I realized that Grace knows a ton more words that I thought, she repeats almost everything we say. She loves to show off her words for Nathan and I, but is a bit shyer around others. I have stopped keeping track of all the words she uses because there are just to many. Grace totally understands almost everything we say.
Grace has almost all of her teeth, and knows how to use them! She eats almost everything we eat, and in bigger and bigger chunks. Her appetite has kind of hit a curb, but she still eats a great verity of fruit and vegetables. Some of her favorites are still berries, bananas, most veggies, ham, chicky chicky boc boc and cheese and yogurt. She still will eat some puréed foods, but less and less. She has been using Sippy cups instead of bottles in the morning and at lunch for a while
Grace is starting to have small tantrums where she throws herself backwards and kicks her feet back and forth there are usually no tears, and she gets over them very quickly but she just dislikes stopping anything she wants to continue doing.
Grace does a great job of playing independently, although it usually has to be in the same room as Mama. The second she notices I’m not there she will come and find me.
Grace still takes two naps a day. Usually about an hour in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. She still sleeps well through the night. Usually from 7:30pm to 6:30 am. It’s been hard figuring out a morning routine since I have gone back to work, but we will get there soon. We start bedtime routine around 7:30. Her routine is snuggling with a few books, a bottle and some more snuggling and kisses before being tucked in.
She has started to take off in the gross motor areas. Shes not walking by herself but will take steps, pull herself up, fall over and cuddle with her pillow pet. She walks around almost all furniture and will transition from piece to piece.
Favorite toy: many different ones
Favorite books: Llama Llama misses mama and Llama Llama red pajama
Favorite words: up, go, no pleeees, elmo (mo) Bert (ber) Ot oh
Tech Babies
Grace and Lindsey were having so much fun playing games on the Ipads. They would "help" each other and watch each others games. It was a fun saturday morning!
Queen of Pillow Mountian
Lately Grace loves to have a bunch of pillows on the floor. She will climb on, cuddle for a while then roll of and do it all over again.
Reading books... still one of my favorites
Grace has and I hope always will love to snuggle up with a good book. She gets so into the pictures and whats going on in the story.
