Grant's Interpreter Gracie has started telling me what Grant is saying when he laughs or fusses. This morning, I caught her feeding Grant his cereal. Wow, thanks Grace. "Grant's hungry. He said, 'I's hungry, mom. Please feed me.'" I was really surprised to hear her say this. When I didn't reply very quickly, she said "That's what he said."
She's caught the map lovebug We came across the world map in her Book of Mormon Reader the other night. She casually pointed to the North American continent and informed me that it was America. Oh. Then she pointed to the Great Lakes. "This is Michigan. It's where we live." Right. Smarty pants.
Her Dad's double agent We had a conversation the other day that made my day. Actually, it made my life.
Me- How did you get so cute?Grace- smiling... smiling... smiling
Me- How did you get so cute?
Grace- Because mommy is so cute!
Me- smiling
I'm pretty sure her dad put her up to that one.
Silly Goose Cori was rough housing around with Grace one night and he called her 'Gracie bug.' She kept insisting that her name wasn't Gracie bug, it was *****. We could not understand what she was saying. She kept repeating over and again, "I's not Gracie bug, I's ******." We kept guessing in vein. Poor Grace was reduced to tears. Finally, Cori figured it out. She was saying, "I'm not a Gracie bug. I'm a silly goose." You can say that again.
Myself! This is her favorite explative these days. She wants to do everything herself. The other day it was getting close to nap time and I gave her the usual 5 minute warning to put toys away and pick out books. I got busy doing things in the kitchen and looked up at the time. It had been nearly 20 minutes. So I went into her room and found her in bed! I was so proud of her. She was barely awake. I sat on her bed and she said "I's in bed all by myself." This was true to a point. Although she did get in bed by herself, she was most certainly not alone. She had 6 animals, 5 books, 2 babas, 1 sippy and an etch-a-sketch.

Beautiful post, Jesse!
What a sweetheart she is! And so smart! Love all those pics.
I love it! Especially the shot with her in bed with all her guys and other treasures - SO what happens at our house.
She is just precious. I wish my little ones took naps like that. It's like blood sweat and tears around here. What a yummy.
Yesterday I read your post about getting her up and getting her dressed and how you put her pjs away and read a book and so I was determined to do that today. Uh, Mason has only made it to wearing shorts and I think his pjs are somewhere in the mess that is my house. Gadfrey. I need to be more put together. You're so amazing.
She is so cute. I love when they get to this age - you just want to record everything they say because it's so precious and/or funny. I loved reading all of your little stories about her - she seems like such a sweet little person.
So beautiful!! She is getting so grown up too, I can't believe how old she looks! Doesn't it seem like they get bigger overnight after you have another baby? I love the funny things they do - so innocent and simple, but they make every moment worth all the work!
So cute! She is starting to look so much like Cori. I love the pictures, the last one is so beautiful.
Oh my goodness--what a beautiful post! Gracie looks and sounds like such an absolute sweetheart (just like her Mom!). I wish I could meet her in person. Thank you so much for posting this, Jesse!
I agree...she looks so grown up and a smarty pants!
Grace is adorable! The story about her saying she's a silly goose reminded me of when Thea was little and we'd tell she was Silly and she'd respong, "I'm not silly, I'm Thea" Love it!
These pictures are amazing!! I must start saving for a big camera for shots like this! Love the stories. Grace has the best personality! I must come visit so I can ingrane in her that I am her aunt...you have to start them off young!!
