Something's Always Going On Around Here

Can you see my FOURTH tooth coming in?

What? Can't you see I'm busy?

I am so proud of my quadruped capabilities!


Ready to go!

Side view...

Giggly Gracie

In case you hadn't heard, Lola got her fourth tooth this week. Yes, that is 4 teeth in 4 weeks and other places on her gums look swollen. It is just amazing how teeth change their faces. Lily is still all gums, but you never know....

One of Gracie's most fun things right now is going in the car for any reason. She loves it and asks about it everyday after eating breakfast. Coche today? Gracie coche? Mama coche? Lily/Lola no coche. Archie no coche. She really doesn't mind if the babies go, but loves it when it is just us. Archie is low man in our hierarchy as far as Gracie is concerned. She is always kind to him, but frequently tells him what to do.

Apparently the stars have all aligned and all girls are sleeping extra long today, allowing me to post this. This does not happen very often around here.

Quick Gracie update about language. It is literally exploding. She understands tons more these days and is imitating/repeating words much better as well. She is really loving books and that is of course helping.

Don and I really feel like she is jumping into being a part of things much more whole-heartedly than when she first came home. Runs to the garage when Don comes home, screaming "Papa" (what she calls Don). Loves to help do everything, loves to watch Dancing with the Stars or the "baila show". Claps when we have chicken and screams "POLLO!". Fun stuff.

Funniest story of the week:

Gracie goes with me every Tues. afternoon when I do grocery store/errands/bank etc. We had to use the bathroom at the bank and I used my foot to flush the toilet.

When she came home that night and used the bathroom, I caught her hiking her tiny little foot way up to our toilet to flush with her foot also.

All eyes on you, Mom. Ciudado.

Have a good day and Happy Good Friday and Passover!

Love, Mel
