Gracie's 2nd Birthday today!

Gracie’s 2^nd Birthday!!

This year we thought it would be fun to get Gracie a cake and have her blow out the candles.  Her expressions were priceless, as usual, and she had a blast getting the fire out.  The only hard part was teaching her not to put the candles out with her fingers!

At first she was pretty scared when we put the cake in front of her…

…but she caught on pretty quick!

That was easier than I thought... 

Now can I eat my cake!?!

 Here she is having fun eating all that Chocolate!!!

It just wouldn't be Grace if she didn't give some of the classic Gracie facial expressions…

Get your own!

“LAY OFF MAN I’M STARVING!!” 

Sugar makes me HAPPY!!!

BYE BYE!!

Getting ready for TERRIBLE TWO's!!

Last night Tamra's youngest sister, Christine, walked into the bathroom but then walked right out again and seemed upset. My first thought... 'did I leave the toilet seat up?' She looked at me and asked "Did you leave the water running in the bathroom?"

I simply answered "no" and didn't think much of it. Then today I caught the perpetrator wet-handed! Until I saw it for myself I wouldn't have believed that 'sweet little Gracie' could even reach the water to play in it, and especially not be able to turn it on by herself. She proved me wrong, and showed me how smart she is becoming...

First she grabbed the stool and put it up to the wall to turn the light on...

Then, she casually moved the stool over to the toilet, closed the lid, and proceeded to climb right up like she had done this a thousand times!

Clearly, she was loving EVERY minute of this, and probably loving it even more seeing that daddy was enjoying water play-time with her instead of quickly putting an end to it like she's used to. :)

Then, like every other kid, she proceeded to take drinks from the seemingly never-ending fountain of goodness and at a great length too! See her on her tippee toes?

After the many, many drinks from the fountain, it started to get her hair wet!! She realized that the fountain was out to get her so of course she beat it at its own game. What a smartie. :)

The End.
