18 months!

I cannot believe Gracelyn is a year and a half old. It honestly doesn't seem possible. In so many ways now she is not a baby and that is really sad to me.

Gracelyn isn't saying much, mama (for me and her mimi. We are working with her on the long "e" sound,) dada, bye and more. She is signing quite a bit.

Gracie is a master fit thrower. The girl has talent. She knows what she wants and if you say no, she will let you know just how upset she is, even resorting to throwing herself down. Timeout is used quite often these days.

Miss G does love her baby dolls, specifically her "Pretty Princess." Mimi gave her Pretty Princess while she was in the hospital a year ago so PP has been with her through alot. When the surgery center called last week regarding her surgery and told us to bring her favorite toy, we knew Pretty Princess was a must-have. (She came with a crown that when you put it on her head it makes a cute little sound but G doesn't like the crown on the doll's head.)

Sleep is still a foreign concept but I am praying once she heals from this surgery that it will start happening. We both need it!

Gracelyn loves to dance, jump on her brothers for a "horsey ride"  or just jump on them for fun! She is fun girl who is smiling and laughing so much. We read a lot and a book almost always accompanies her in the car.

I told her to smile and this was the result

Just looking at Gracelyn you would never know how sick she was. She has come so far and it's not without prayers, amazing doctors and of course our most gracious
