Okay, so I know it’s been a loooong time since my last post, but I’ve been super busy with a certain birthday party extravaganza! I’ll get to all the birthday stuff in a later blog, but on to the other fun stuff that was February. So I left off on Valentine’s Day. Grace got lots of presents from Mommy, Daddy, Granny, Papaw, Memaw, Grams and even Aunt Judie! Wow, this kid gets a lot of love. We had to wait for sleepy head Daddy to get up to open her presents, which I noticed was starting to really irritate Grace. I got her an oversized Valentine’s ladybug balloon, and she wanted it! NOW! After we opened presents I took what is my favorite picture of Grace so far; her Valentine’s Picture, complete with a red blanket and sweet little red dress. She look like such a proper little lady with her hand on her knee, but let me warn you, do not trust a picture. Grace is as rough and tumble as they come.
Next up was Mommy’s birthday. So the 24th was not only my birthday, it was Mardi Gras and Kelly’s birthday. Happy Birthday again Kelly. I hung out with Grace all day since Jared had to work. Neither one of us are big parade people so we didn’t make it to that. I’m not a fan of the crowds, they make me nervous and I didn’t want to go into a full blown panic attack with Grace there, and a whole bunch of $.25 bead hungry drunks. So instead we played and cleaned and napped until Dad got home. He brought presents and flowers. I got books and a SPA package, all of which I was super excited about. Jared booked my appointment, and I went yesterday. I also got a long overdue haircut, and went shopping, all by myself. It was so much fun and I really enjoyed all of it but I was sad to be away from Jared and Grace all day on one of my oh so short weekend days.
Onto the best part of February. Grace started WALKING! HOORAY!!! I’ve never seen three people more excited about anything. We all jumped around and laughed and WALKED! So Jared was playing with her on the floor and she stood up by herself for a long time, so I stopped what I was doing and got on the floor. Now keep in mind that she’s never really stood by herself for more than a second. So when I got on the floor Jared stood her up and we started coaxing her to come to us and she did. Grace was so proud of herself. We have a little video of it, but it’s kind of dark.
