Nakies...

My little Gracie has begun the adorable, yet, often terribly annoying 'naked stage'. All of you mothers know exactly the phase I'm talking about. Every morning when we go into her room to get her out of her crib, we find her in only a diaper with her warm pjs in a pile on the floor near her crib. When we go ANYWHERE she rips off her shoes. If I'm lucky she leaves her socks on. So when we get to our destination, I have to put shoes, and sometimes socks, back on her. She often strips all of her clothes off during the day as well. Thankfully she keeps her diaper on instead of streaking around the house in all her glory. We used to have to duct tape the boys' diapers on them when they went through this stage. I probably wouldn't mind too much if it wasn't wintertime and if we didn't live in an old, drafty house. Oh well, I'm sure she'll outgrow it like her brothers did before kindergarten. :)

She has finally started talking more. Most of what she says is hard to understand but she is trying so that's improvement.
Some her cute little words are.....
DeDe-Gracie
DooDoo-Doggy
Yeah-Zack
YeahYeah-Zack-y
Me-Drink
oo-Food
MaMa-Mama AND Grandma  I once said, Gracie, say G-R-A-N-D-M-A. She said...M-A-M-A
wahwah-sock
wahwah-washcloth
And the ever elusive   ~DE~   Still can't figure that one out. Sometimes it means cheese but other times she says it over and over and cries and gets upset when we can't figure it out. We've pulled out our best charades playing skills but still...nothin'.
