A Long Overdue Graycen Update

Did we have the month of April this year?  I’m not sure what happened to it, if we did J

 

At 15 months, Gracyen….

…is learning to brush her teeth – all three of them.  In fact she gets quite irritated if we forget to give her the toothbrush while she's taking her bath.  She will point and grunt until we give it to her.

 ...loves to walk, as long as she is holding our hand, or pushing one of her toys around.  She will stand by herself for a few seconds and has taken a couple of steps, but still doesn’t have the confidence to let go.

 

...has mastered going up the stairs, just need to teach her how to come down.

 

….loves being outside.  Seattle has had some GORGEOUS weather in the last week and we have been outside enjoying the sunshine, grass, trees, flowers, and birds as much as possible.  Graycen is quite content going for a ride outside in her stroller, especially when the ride ends with ice cream.

…talks ALL THE TIME!!!!  Her talking is mostly babbling, but she is able to say a few words/sounds to tell us what she sees or what she wants.  A few of her favorites are:

·         “bir” – bird

·         “mah” – milk

·         “puh puh” – puppy

·         “bah bah” – bye-bye

·         “mmmm” – when something is delicious

·         “uh oh” – when something falls, accident or intentional.

 

 …she LOVES the dogs, especially Halen.  Halen is incredibly tolerant of her pulling and pushing, such a good dog!
