20 months

Well Grace - you turned 20 months, and just like every other instance that I want take your picture and write a post - you were sick!  Your low grade temp started for a while....and then out of nowhere - you peaked during the night - on the 20th of May!  Your temp, when we took it in the morning - was 104.5.  Every time you are sick Grace, my heart hurts.  I become anxious and I worry - so does your daddy.   It ended up you just had a virus again and with some motrin and a few days at home - you felt much better.  You even got a scary rash after your virus - and were CRANKY - but we understand why.


So...what have you been up to in the last couple months?  Well, in March we went to a fish fry at Lutmers (which you LOVED the fish) and running around with everyone. You are still a very shy little girl - preferring to observe at first and then get involved.  The next week - we went to BRF for Easter. You got to see your Uncle Royce and Uncle Lance - as well as visiting the Easter Bunny.  We were amazed - you sat on the Easter Bunny's lap like it was your business. You werent' scared at all!

In April you had your 18month doctor appt - and you only got one shot (wasn't too bad) and the doctor said you looked like a model citizen again. It's amazing because when you were younger we worried about you being behind in some of the physical milestones (crawling, walking) but now - you've caught right up and even excel is some of the areas ahead of your age.  You are becoming such a big girl.  April went by so fast - with Mommy's birthday, Aunt Sara moving, your daddy traveling a bit for work, and a lot of other fun things. 

In May, we went to a Gopher baseball game (you were HORRIFIED of Goldy) where daddy was honored for being part of the team and also celebrated Mother's Day.  We didn't do much - but spent the time together.  You also had a sleepover at Aunt Sara's while mommy and daddy went to the PwC formal.  You watched movies with her (you especially liked 101 dalmations!)

You've seen your grandparents so much over the last couple months - you even know the words "PaPa" and "Grandma".  You also have become quite the sponge lately - trying to copy everything mommy and daddy say.   Family members all have names, all the animals do things (dogs pant, cows moo, sheep baa, horses neight, pigs snort, ducks quack), and you even point of cars (which have the hand motion of beep) and rocks.  You are such a smarty pants.  I think the biggest and funniest thing I've seen is the fact that you can say your own name.  It's a hard one - but when we ask you who you are - you know it.  You also, however, have picked up on the idea that your daddy's name is Josh. Uh oh.....

I wish I could box you up and save you in this cute, innocent age.  You are the most amazing little girl Grace.  I know I say this every month - and every month I mean it even more:)
