~Ducky~

Grace's absolute favorite toy right now is her little ducky!  The duck makes her smile all the time!

Please notice the "Kroger" sticker that her sister so lovingly placed on her shirt.

~High Chair~

Grace sat in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time on my birthday as well.  She did pretty good, but I don't think she was very comfortable.

What a beautiful little profile of her!

~Cheerios~

Grace had her first cheerio on my birthday.  I gave them to her to entertain her while we ate lunch.  I think they were a little hard for her, especially since she hasn't even had a puff yet, but she was definitely entertained.

I just love how she is studying the cheerio with all her might!

~Bath Time~

Grace and Aylah really have a great time taking baths together.  Grace loves to splash and suck on wash clothes.  She has never cried taking a bath, she has enjoyed it from day one.  Aylah likes to play with Grace and show her how things are done.  She likes bath time a lot more now that she can wash her own hair, with shampoo AND conditioner (to get the bunnies out of her hair).

Grace is helping Aylah rinse out the shampoo.

~Giraffe~

 

A little cartoon time and Aylah eats cookies....

 ...while Grace eats her favorite giraffe!

Grace loves the animals from noah's ark, however the giraffe is her favorite.

These pictures were taken in May, Grace was 6 months old and Aylah turned 3 "1/2" years old.

~My 32nd Birthday~

 Aylah wrapped her play money one by one in sticky notes to give to me for my birthday.  I also received a peppermint in a sticky note as well.  She thought it was so cool to give me so many presents. 

What wonderful gifts!

My delicious ice cream birthday cake!  Yummy!!!

Aylah sang happy birthday to me at least 27 times. 

We were in Elkhart for my birthday this year, because we were spending time with family since Mike's grandfather passed away.  Mike took me antiquing, we went to lunch on the lake (where Grace sat in a high chair for the first time and had her first cherrio), had chinese for dinner, ice cream cake from Diary Queen and a whole lot of fun with my girls!  I love that Aylah understands birthdays and has so much fun celebrating with you.  She loves to sing happy birthday all day long and give you many gifts!

~Smiley Face~

Aylah drew her very first smiley face on her aquadoodle.  I was completely blown away, because I've never worked with her on this.  She drew a circle, eyes, legs, arms, mouth and nose.  I couldn't convince her to add some hair, but I think she did a fabulous job!
