The Early Beginnings of Toddlerhood

So Grace is trying to walk now! She has been standing up on her own these last two weeks or so. She is still very excited by this accomplishment and was giggling each time she stood up independently today! She is now trying to take steps independently but has not yet accomplished it. She delights in trying though! Will she be a "toddler" by her first birthday? Hard to say right now...but she seems determined, and she is pretty strong-willed and smart. Speaking of smart, she figured out the "child-proof" latch we have on our nightstand drawer this morning.

Grace recently traveled with us up north to visit her Uncle Mike, Aunt Jen, and 2-month-old cousin, Julianna. We all spent Thanksgiving together! It was nice to be around family and Grace was interested in the little baby! Grace was a bit grumpy during the trip, however! Teething is no fun and Grace is now working on her top teeth!

Every day I am grateful for little Grace. I still marvel at the fact that I am a mom and Grace is my daughter. How lucky am I?
