Walking

Last night Gracie decided that she was going to stand up from her princess couch and walk across to the living room to the TV. She was so proud of herself and of course Hayden and I were like cheerleaders, cheering every step she took. She doesn't crawl anymore, she either walks on her knees or her feet. Not sure where the walking on the knees came from, it is a little different. Hopefully now she is going to take off and walk all the time. Every time she stands up by herself Hayden and I clap and act like nuts, so now when she does it she waits for a reaction (it is so cute). When she takes off across the floor she scrunches that little nose up and smiles the whole way (I love it)!!! Way to go Gracie Leigh!!!

Here are a few pictures, I wasn't able to edit them yet but they are cute:

Standing up ready to go...

There she goes...

Whew, I'm tired now...

Hayden and I have been putting Gracie in the bed with us in the mornings, since the time change everyone is getting up earlier. Mark used to put Hayden in the bed with me when she was little every morning before he went to work. She would snuggle up with me and go back to sleep and when it was time for me to get up and get ready for work, I would put her back in her bed. I loved my snuggle time with Punkin! Gracie on the other hand is like a wild baby in the bed, she doesn't want to lay down, snuggle or be quiet. She is constantly talking to Hayden and trying to climb on top of Hayden and I. Hayden says Gracie is no longer allowed to get in the bed with us, she has to stay in her bed because it is not nice to wake her up! The only time Gracie snuggles is when she is ready to take a nap, she will get in my lap with pooh bear and her cup, and when she is ready to give hugs and kisses I take all I can get!!!

As of this morning Hayden has been calling me MOM, I told her that until she is A LOT older I am Mommy. I am 30 years old and I still don't call my Mama...MOM!
