Gracelyn turns 2!


As of Sunday the 16th of October we have a 2 year old! Gracelyn Paige is so.much.fun! She is a chatterbox and loves to tell long stories but we usually just understand about 1 word here and there. She can say single words: her manners, animal sounds and names, mainly close family, oh and "amen!" Double words she says are "thank you" "love you." and "read me!"

In case I haven't mentioned it before, Gracelyn loves to read. She burnt us out on several of the books we owned so we asked for new books for her birthday to switch out and we can donate those "repeaters." It's one book right after another, especially before bed in order to stall.

With all of her "funess" we do have the 2 year old fits and drama. Gracie can "no" very well.very well. She puts herself in timeout before we have a chance to most of the time,
her first slush, on her birthday.
a little "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see" before bed. Her favorite book!

the night before she turned 2 I was sad about it and she was dressed as SuperWhy and sitting in a box acting like she was flying...

Gracelyn's 2 year well-check was yesterday and in her pediatrician's words, "she is happy, healthy and perfect." I concur. She weighs 31lb,12ozs and is 36" tall. She's in the 95th% for both!
In her birthday nighttime prayer we thanked God for Gracelyn and her first 2 years and asked for a blessed year in the 2's. Gracie replied loudly "UH HUH AMEN!" Amen!
