Gracie's personality is really starting to develop (just ask the people sitting around us in church today...ugh!). For the most part she is a happy little girl, but she does get frustrated when she can't communicate what she wants. Okay, she also gets frustrated when we do understand what she wants and she can't have it...don't we all. Anyway, while my family was here visiting the second week in August Gracie decided to start really walking. Before she would push around her doll stroller, but one afternoon while everyone was congregating for an outing in the family room she just stood up, took a few steps and then plopped to the floor. Immediately everyone cheered and boy did she like that. She got right back up and did it over and over. At one point she took a few steps and when nobody clapped she stopped and clapped. Then everyone took her cue and cheered. She smiled and kept going. It was priceless. Now she is really cruising and at times even runs away from me....gotta love that!
Another thing to note about Grace right now is that she LOVES LOVES LOVES animals. She absolutely freaks out when she sees a car drive by with a dog or a stuffed animal on the shelf at the store. It is unlike anything I have seen with any of our other babies....Why do I get the feeling that there will be a dog or cat in our future. It seems as if dogs are her favorite, but we'll see if that holds once she learns that not every animal with four legs barks.
