10 Month Update

Grace is over 10 months old now. She is developing quite a vocabulary. Her favorite word now is "Daddy!" It sounds a lot like "doggy" but we know the difference because she always follows up with barking sounds and she meows after she says "kitty". The nursery workers at church were talking to each other this morning while Grace was playing and they didn't realize that Grace was listening until the lady said something about her dog being sick...immediately Grace started barking. They all got a good laugh out of it. :) Here are some pictures of her beautiful smile, 6 teeth and all!

These pigtails lasted long enough for me to snap a photo and then she ripped them out. :(

Daddy, Grace and Saki

Grace has to sneak up on the cat from behind,
otherwise George will run away.

We visited my Grandparents over the 4th of July weekend. As always, it was a wonderful relaxing time. Grace couldn't pick enough blueberries. They were delicious!

Uncle Matt's Wedding

Grace took her first plane ride this past weekend. We flew with my parents and brother Andrew to Clarkston, MI to celebrate the marriage of my younger brother Matthew & his wife Natalie. Grace traveled great and didn't cry at all. She actual likes flying better than riding in a carseat...probably because she is held the whole time. Natalie has the sweetest family and friends and they gave her a beautiful wedding. Grace wore the dress that Natalie bought for her. We all had such a great time and now Grace is catching up on all her missed sleep. She didn't nap well because she didn't want to miss a thing! What a social bug!! The next day we took a trip to the Detroit Zoo. The animals weren't very active because it was too hot. But it was great to see God's beautiful creation up close.

Grace got a fun ride down the hotel hallway
