Watching Gracie Grow.

During our days at home together, I have fun just watching Gracie as she moves around the house. She explores everything and her favorite things are board books. She loves to just sit with a book and flip back and forth with it and feel the textures on the pages. The fuzzy books are her favorites. But she has just started to look at the ones without. Her new favorite is "Good Dog Carl!
She explores everything with her hands. Her hands must have been her favorite toy in the orphanage because she is fascinated with them.
Today as I was checking my email I realized she had been playing with the little piano we had gotten for Joy Lin--for about 10 minutes! The video is posted is mostly of my future pianist, but it shows how she cracks up when she sees the camera flash go off. Now it doesn't even have to flash, she just laughs at the camera.!?! Today she wedged her way all the way behind the christmas tree and stood there laughing. I don't think there is any sweeter sound than hearing her laugh.
Her other new thing is a little odd and her father hates it. She lays on the hardwood floor on her belly and makes spit bubbles! mountains of spit bubbles? Is you are anywhere in the kitchen or great room you can actually hear her making them up!. It drives Chris crazy! Someday soon I'll have to post video of that.
Oh well. Another nut for the nuthouse. God surely knows where to send them
