It's been a long time...

Oops! Once again, I've let too much time go in between blog posts! It's just so difficult to keep up with everything! I'm going to really try to be better about posting to my blog. Between working full-time, going to graduate school, and raising William and Grace, there's very little time for anything else.

Here are some "fairly" recent pictures of Grace. How cute is she?!?!?! She is now 10 months old (although I would say she was about 8 1/2 months in these pictures). She's growing so quickly! I cannot believe my baby will be a year old in less than 2 months. It seems like just yesterday I was admitted to the hospital to have her!

What is Grace up to these days?
-She can stand up to furniture and walk along furniture.
-She says "dada" and "mama".
-She loves to eat! She will eat anything and everything put in front of her.
-She still doesn't sleep through the night (grrr...). She averages 1-2 wakings per night. I don't mind it too much though, because I love our middle of the night cuddles, and I think my body is so used to waking up. I have no idea what it means to get a full night's rest without interruptions.
-She is way more interested in William's toys and getting into things than her baby toys.
-She LOVES to climb the stairs. I go behind her and say, "I'm going to get you!" and she laughs and tries to climb faster.
-She loves attention, being around people, and being held.
-She loves her big brother! Her face lights up when she sees him and when he gives her attention. She is very quick to forgive too (it's a good thing she doesn't hold a grudge ;)
-She dislikes (hates) getting dressed and getting her diaper changed. She wriggles and squirms all over the place which makes it really difficult.
-She loves to crawl all over the place and she's really fast.
-As much as she loves her freedom to crawl around and play, she does love to be held and cuddled. I call her my little "cuddle bug".
