Grace is 1 Year Old!

Boy, that year did fly by. All of those moms were right. This time last year, I didn't think I would ever get to sleep again. Now, she's a happy, active, curious, wonderful little girl. We couldn't be any luckier.

We have reached the milestone! Yeah! This means...
- we get to turn the car seat around, I now have a functional front passenger seat!
- no more bottles, I get some counter space back!
- no more formula, enough said.
- no more baby food, she did this one on her own.

Here are her updated numbers:

I have to play catch-up a little. She received her first Valentine's Day flowers from Pawpaw Bill. She loved them. And didn't try to eat them. I was impressed.

By March, she was crawling fairly well. She sometimes does the traditional 4 leg crawl.

And then there's the more difficult 3 leg crawl. Notice how she is pushing her book in front of her. I guess she was looking for a better reading spot.

Also in March, Grace really started enjoying grown-up food. So much so, she started refusing baby food. So far, she likes most everything. But she does have her preferences. And her likes and dislikes change daily. What she likes today may not work tomorrow.

The dogs don't care as long as some of it makes it to the floor!

Grandma Sharon arrived in the latter part of March to stay with us for a few weeks to visit and help during a very busy time. She and Pawpaw Bill brought her birthday presents. One of which is a green riding/walking toy called an Okiedog. It looks like a grasshopper to me. She loves it. When she is walking with it, she is usually grinning from ear to ear. She is so proud of herself. And so are we. Heading out for a stroll.

Doing a little off-roading.
