Thanksgiving 2012

Happy Thanksgiving!

We started off Thanksgiving with our 2nd annual Turkey Trot and finished with family & food. 

A few highlights I want to remember:

• Burning the wings off the turkey and filling the house with smoke.
• Grammy pouring gravy in a strainer on the counter, thinking it was in a bowl.
• Cousins playing hide & seek and pin the hat on the turkey.
• Hosting our first turkey day!

Thankful for a wonderful day!

Options

Gracie’s new favorite word is options…  For example:

“Those my options, Mommy?” (in response to telling her we don’t go to school or work on the weekend)

“No, those Millie’s options.” (in response to telling her she needed to put on clothes or sit on the stairs)

“Those not my options, those Daddy’s options.” (when above didn’t work)

Things Gracie says...

"I just so happy, Mom!"

Said on our way to pick up some coffee and a special sprinkle donut this morning. Priceless : )

So many pictures & so much fun!  We had a great time celebrating Uncle Paki’s birthday on Long Island this weekend.

Gracie… 2 year updates!

Weight: 27 lb 14 oz (70th percentile)

Height: 33 in (40th percentile)

Head: ??? in (90th percentile)

Once again, you did great at the doctor!  He called you his best patient of the day and sent you home with your own doctor supplies so you can practice.  You loved playing with his tools and making Dora’s boo boo all better. 

Compare to your 15 month updates here.

Talking: Non stop these days! You are forming short sentences and say the sweetest things like, “I love you, Mommy.”  And not so sweet things like, “Go away” and “GG no want to.”  Momma turned into Mommy which is now just MOM.  Daddy is still Daddy and Millie is still “Millie-ill.”

Likes: all things Dora (you no longer love Melmo), going to the playground, running, ticklebugs, being naked, the pool, playing with your baby doll, mac & cheese, melon, yogurt & all sweets!

Dislikes: listening, bedtime, getting dressed or doing your hair, strollers, the characters at Sesame Place

Other updates:  You said bye bye to your pacifier(it broke) and are in a big girl bed now!
