Bob

Because Grace is OBSESSED with the movie Finding Nemo, we decided to get her a fish for Valentines Day. We asked her what she wanted to name him and she said, "Nemo," then pointed to the bubbles and said, "bubbles," then we asked her again what she wanted to name her fishy and she said a few words that we couldn't understand. We asked her one last time and she replied, "Bob." She loves her new pet :)

Everyday stuff

"Playing" daddy's Wii

Grace watching her favorite movie - Nemo

Mmmm....strawberry shake!



Kicking back

Mommy's little helper





This looked like a fun place to sit

These are just a few pictures from the last 2 weeks. Grace really likes to "play" Wii when Matt is playing. Her favorite game is Super Mario Galaxy. She also loves Finding Nemo. She'll just stand in front of the the tv and say "Nemo Nemo Nemo" over and over again when she wants to watch it. Nothing else too exciting to report- I just wanted to share some new pics!

Snowed In

I think I can hear my brother in there...

Peek-a-boo!

Riding the trike & practicing for summer

Weeeeeeeeeee!

Pretending to be a doggie


We had a really bad storm last week and everything ended up being closed one day. It was something like 100 schools in the area including the college and daycare. The police even asked people to stay off the roads unless it was an emergency. So we all stayed home and hung out together. We had lots of fun playing inside for the day!

I'm a big kid too

Grace has to be just like her big cousins. When everyone came over for dinner one night she had to have a big kid sippy cup like her cousins. Then, when she was all done eating, we got her down and she went right over to Wyatt's empty chair to sit at the big kid table and start stealing their milk. She cracks me up!

Caught red-handed

Matt busted Grace going through my purse last night. He sat back and watched her for a few minutes to see what she would do. She pulled out a bunch of stuff, but focused on a pack of gum. She figured out how to open it, then pulled out several pieces. She opened one piece and even put it in her mouth! She is quite the handful, but I wouldn't have it any other way. What a little stinker :)

Sledding

We took Grace & Gabby sledding on Saturday and here are some pics! Grace seemed to like it, although she couldn't move in her snowsuit :) It was freezing outside though so we only made it about 15 minutes, but it was fun while it lasted!!! In the last pic Grace is wearing both of our neck warmers; one around her face & one on her head.

FLORIDA!

Waiting for Dinner

Mmmm...I love Mommy's virgin strawberry daiquiri!

We had a great trip to Florida! It wasn't the most relaxing with our little monster, but it sure was fun spending 10 whole days with her and no daycare. She definitley learned a lot and seemed so much bigger by the time we got home. We spent some time at the pool (which was short-lived because she had to swim in a kiddie pool and that lasted about 20 minutes max). She absolutely loved the beach though!!! We went to Busch Gardens one day and to an Aquarium in Sarasota another; she really seemed to enjoy both!

It was great spending time with the family and Nonnie, Papa & Grams!!
