Gracie Girl

I haven't been great at blogging about the twins since Zac was born. Mostly due to the fact that they don't pose for me and want nothing to do with the camera. Well actually they would prefer to be behind the camera taking the pictures. So I wanted to do some catch up.

Gracie and Ty are still best friends, however they know exactly what make each other mad and often times will do just that. On occasion Gracie has been known to take things mostly toys that she knows Ty wants and she will go throw them in timeout or other places where he can't get them. I have found many of Ty's toys behind our loveseat in the corner. Of course she loves her brother like nobody else too and when Ty is crying or having a difficult moment, Gracie is quick to say "Ty sad" and bring him his comfy bunny. People always comment on their special connection and the way they communicate with one another. It is so neat to watch them have a conversation.


Gracie is such a sweetheart. She loves to read books, color, draw, go outside and do chalk. She loves to blow bubbles especially when you let her do it all by herself. She loves water and enjoys playing in the hose and riding her bikes. She is my ultimate climber! And she scares me to death...the girl has no fear. She wants to do all the things that are too big for her at the park but she tries anyway. If she falls, she gets back up and tries to do it again. She is very stubborn and determined.


Sweet but definately has some sass! It hasn't been too bad lately but she tends to talk back to me and gets real upset if she doesn't get her way. She gets mad and yells or just screams and then has a fit. I am hoping this is normal two year old behavior otherwise...yikes! She has become quite the talker, well she has always loved to chat but now I am understanding her so much better. She throws out new words and phrases every day. It's been such a language explosion at our house.


I think she knows she is the only girl in between two boys. She likes to use this to her advantage I think. She is a good big sister though and loves to help me take care of Zac. She loves to give him kisses and gets excited when he wakes up from sleeping. She also loves her baby dolls and especially loves to feed them their "milk". Gracie seems to really enjoy nursery now and always seems to make a new friend at the park. It is usually an older girl that has taken to her and wants to help her out. Gracie has shown a little interest in potty training and I really hope this interest grows!


We just love our Gracie girl! She is growing up so fast and is such a smart girl. She loves her blankets, apple juice and is still addicted to her "night night pie". She has the best laugh and I just love watching her learn.
