Grace

Today I would like to introduce you to my daughter, Grace.




We call her Gracie, 96% of the time.  I thought of naming her Gracie, but went with Grace because she can always go by Gracie if she want, but Grace is just classic! and looks good on resumes and such.  I often call her, "Gracie-Girl" and her uncle John called her "Cracie" and it fits and it stuck.  I call her that sometimes too.  Just don't call her "wiggle worm" -she really doesn't like that one.  She is self conscious about the fact that she is wiggly and squirmy and I know it breaks her heart that it often leads to people becoming annoyed by her sitting next to them.

The following images were taken seconds apart:




Gracie is so full of energy, life, laughter and spunk -it's hard not to just want to drink her up!  She was such a cutie pie baby with her bald head (such a stark contrast from her big sister's full head of hair at birth).  Here are a few pictures of her from her infant days.




Gracie is not only adorable...she is a mischievous lil stinker too!  Look at these photos, for just a sampling of her impulsive "what if I..." nature. :-)

Gracie has a big heart. She is so sweet to me, always offering back rubs, hugs and laughs. She looks up to her big sister, Katelyn.  They may fight like cats and dogs, but she loves Katelyn with all her heart.

She loves being a big sister to her baby brother, Rockwell.  Even if he's feeling smothered by her, she is standing by ready to give one more hug, one more kiss or one more tickle.  She tells me all the time she is going to marry him because they "love eachothers."



I'm in love with the way light reflects in Gracie's eyes.  Here are some pictures that show her eyes over the past 5 years.







Grace loves Minnie Mouse,

and singing (she is going to be taking lessons soon).  She is also really into her rock climbing class and seems to have little fear of heights!
