Gracie Girl


Gracie I feel is my least talked about child. So I thought I would write about some of the things I love most about my "princess baby."

First of all, I love her name. Mary was going to be a Grace and then I swtiched it up after my mom died and I wanted to name Mary after my mom. But Grace has been my favorite girls name for years. This might explain why Gracie has so many monogrammed outfits!

I love that Gracie was a girl. It sounds a little weird but I had Gracie when I was 30, and she was my 3rd child. My mom had me when she was 30 and I was her third child. I hope Grace and I can have the same special relationship I had with my mom.

I love that Gracie always wakes up happy. When you walk into her room a huge grin comes across her face and she either greets me with "Helloooo Mom" or "Mommy" and I love it. I also love the fact that sometimes she would rather stay in her crib if someone else tries to get her out of bed!

Gracie's favorite saying is "I love you too mom" and I think its hilarious. Its almost like she doesn't even need to hear "I love you Grace" becauase she already knows you are thinking it. Grace has told me she loves me more times than Mary and Jack combined.

I love that she crosses her arms and startstalking in a really low, deep voice when she is mad. Have the time I want to flick her in teh mouth...but I usually just end up turning my head and laughing.

Grace is an absolute joy. She has been by far my easiest kid. So easy that sometimes Greg will say, "doesn't Grace just make you want to have another kid?" She isn't quite that good- but I know what he means!
