Tree Lighting & Apex Parade

Another week of amazing growth and development. She loves exploring new things and can quickly imitate any words you say or behaviors. Here she was trying to wrap herself up in bubble wrap. I showed her how you can squeeze and pop one of the huge bubbles. She continually tried to do it herself! She also tried to step on it but her 19.5 lbs just did not have enough weight to make it pop!

 

On Friday night we went to dinner with our friends the Pucketts and Uncle Taylor and then headed to Waverly Place for the tree lighting. We met a lot of Mommy's MOPS friends. It was fun to dance to the music and watch Grace explore the green space. She is one amazing and social girl!

 

 

 

 On Saturday we headed to Apex. We walked around the town during the day and then at night we went back for the Apex Christmas Parade. We watched most of it from inside the mexican restaurant which was very fun! Then we took the back way out of the restaurant and walked down the parade. We had a great time listening to bands, singing, and watching the dances. Grace is so interested in sound and movement.

 

Grace also went to the dentist for the first time! We learned all about how to brush her teeth effectively and tips to prevent cavities. Grace actually really enjoyed having her teeth cleaned which was amazing! It was fun to watch her become such a big girl.

Dear Sweet Girl,
Grace we love you so much. This morning you spent 45 minutes reading books. I went in about half way through your time to read with you. You pointed out all the "nosssss" in the book and of course you showed me your "nose" nosssss as well. You also showed me the "be-bays" on each page. I would say "yes, that is a baby" and you would say "be-bay" and show me how you rock a baby. You are starting to really communicate which is amazing. You also get REALLY frustrated when I can't understand what you are trying to say. I will keep trying my best, be patient with me. We love you sweet girl.
xoxo
Mommy & Daddy
