Wow--Grace is a busy little girl these days!
Her birthday is only 3 weeks away. Can you believe she will be 2 years old!??! Where does the time go? In mentioning her birthday, I have 2 reasons: 1)a birthday party is being planned but no details yet! I am thinking about tax weekend. Then at least we all have something to look forward to as the IRS takes everyone's money! 2)There is a registry linked to this site for everyone to use (if you want to). I update it from time to time with things I want to get Gracie and things that she likes. If you are wondering what to get her for the birthday, check that out first. Otherwise, she LOVES Dora the Explorer, Miss Spider, and loves to play outside. Books are on the top of her list too for favorite pasttimes. Clothes---she is already in size 2T! Tall and skinny with blond hair and blue eyes---Mommy and Daddy are in trouble; the boys are going to come knocking on the door before we know it!
Grace's hair is finally starting to grow! In fact, we can put it into a little ponytail. Well, it looks more like a mullet-tail but Mommy doesnt mind---I can finally put little bows in my little girl's hair!!! There is a pic of this most adorable "toddler-tail" in the March photo gallery for you to enjoy!
Aunt Meghan's wedding is quickly approaching and Grace is ready to go. Her flower girl dress is beautiful and her sparkly pink shoes are the most precious shoes ever! We went to Meghan's dress fitting last weekend. The first time we went Grace was scared of the dress! Its gorgeous but something about a big white dress terrified Grace. This time around, she couldnt take her eyes....or her hands..off of it! She likes to pick up the train and carry it for Meghan and as soon as Meg puts it on, Grace wants Meghan to pick her up! Grace also likes to look at herself in the mirrors at the bridal salon........she and Meghan had to compete for mirror space! HAHA!
New pics are posted of Miss Grace! She is such a good little girl and absolutely hysterical!

Last weekend, we took a family road trip to Pittsburgh. Bill's best friend, Tom, and his wife, Hannah, just had a baby boy, Galen, and we were so excited to meet him. What a cutie!
Grace was so good with the baby. She held him for a few minutes and was very protective the whole weekend of Galen. In fact, she calls him "My Baby".
We took her to the Children's Museum where she played in Mister Roger's Neighborhood. We attempted to take her to the arts and crafts section of the museum but when we entered and saw all the paint, we quickly decided not to take that adventure quite yet!
Also went the National Aviary to see all the birds. I couldnt name half of the birds there but they were really neat. 2 bald eagles are housed there----wow, are those BIG birds. One of them was missing her left wing completely but was still the largest bird I have ever seen!!! Very cool.
Grace is growing up so quickly. Every day that passes, she is becoming clearer in her speech, doing more and more things on her own, and really becoming a nice, sweet little girl. She is even growing some hair on that little head. Mommy cant wait to start putting bows in her hair!!

Grace is the flower girl in her Aunt Meghan's wedding. We went shopping last weekend for a flower girl dress; we found the dress after only 10 minutes in the store. Grace loved trying on all the pretty dresses and was the hit of the store. Granted, Mom was about to faint at the price tags! The dresses in her size cannot use more than 3 yards of fabric total and they are charging $135! Ridiculous. BONUS: I found the same dress for $30 elsewhere! I have to give credit to my friend Jenna for that bargain. With a little hemming from Grandma Terry, it will be a perfect dress for my little flower girl. Some pictures of the day are posted in the pictures section but I am not telling which dress we chose! You will just have to wait until May to find out!

Grace did the cutest thing yesterday. We went to go visit Daddy at work on the way home from day care. One of the girls who works with Daddy at the store gave Grace a bag of M&Ms. When we were getting ready to leave, I told Grace to "give kisses". Instead of giving kisses to all her friends at Daddy's store, she leaned down and kissed the M&M in her hand, right before popping it in her mouth! ADORABLE!
