bumps and bruises

Wow, learning to walk has been quite the ordeal! So many bruises and bumps and scratches and general "ouch!" moments. We also got some new magnets for the fridge. Grace loves playing by taking them off and walking all around the house holding them! Eventually they find their way back on the fridge.

 

This is a rocking chair that Mama used when she was little. Grace loves to climb up and down and up and down. She also loves to hear stories in her chair!



This week we had another appointment at Duke for Grace's hemangiomas. Currently the plan is that she is back on timolol which is the topical ointment that gets rubbed into both her nose and her back. We go back in February for another look. There is this really great garden area right by the hospital and we spent some time letting Grace get out energy. It is amazing trying to keep up with this kid. She is getting so quick!








This weeks educational activity was putting a string on an empty shoe box. Talk about free entertainment! She loves pulling this thing around and filling it up with toys!

 

We also tried another art activity. This is just flour, water, and food coloring. It lasted about... 10 minutes and then she kept trying to eat chunks of it. I probably shouldn't do this kind of craft so close to dinner time! hehe

 


Raleigh's Christmas Parade! We had so much fun watching the Christmas parade. Grace LOVES the drums and the music. She watched in awe for about an hour, then we decided it was time to go. We missed Santa, but hopefully we will get to see him soon!



Mimi and J-pa have arrived for Thanksgiving! Grace is so in love with her Mimi. I can't believe how she just immediately wants to be held and cuddled by her! I absolutely love seeing these two together!

 

Dear Grace,
Thank goodness you are getting more comfortable on your feet! Mama could not handle all the falling. You don't seem to be too bothered by it, but wow it totally stresses me out! Now that your forehead looks normal and your nose is healed I am loving your "not banged up" look! You amaze us sweet girl. This week you said "Cracker" "Cheese" and "Open" VERY impressive! It is amazing to watch your vocabulary grow.
All our love
xoxo,
Mommy & Daddy
