Our 2 month old girl!

Since many of you have requested new pictures of Grace, this post will be dedicated to just that--pictures of our sweet girl since the last time her pretty face "graced" this blog!

The following then is a photographic journal of Grace's favorite things to do (as a 1 1/2 and 2 month old):

#1--Be cute.

We've had the pleasure of seeing increasingly more cute smiles and funny expressions from our sweet Grace that just melt our hearts. Also adorable (and recent) is when she gets so excited that she just sqeals with delight--love it!

#2--Eat her own, and our, fingers.

Not a fan of binkies, Grace prefers to suck on her own, or one of our, fingers instead.

This is one of my favorite Gracisms: To hold her ear while she sucks on her hand--so cute!

#3--Sleep.

Here she is sleeping in Daddy's arms. It never ceases to amaze me how she can manage to flex her fingers while she sleeps, or how she can sleep with her neck like that!

This is how we find her in the morning--wiggled all the way down to the end of her crib, and with her blankets kicked off. Silly girl!

#4--Raise her legs and hands in the air.

Starting a couple weeks ago (while we were moving), she began lifting just her left leg in the air. She'd put it in the air for a few seconds, then lay it back down, and repeat. A few days later, she would lift just her right leg in the air. Then just her left arm. Then just her right. And now, she enjoys lifting both arms and both legs, sometimes all at the same time!

Especially the last few days, she has LOVED lifting both of her arms together. Happy girl!

The funniest thing about it is that when she lifts her arms (one or both), she'll just sit and stare at them, like they're the neatest things on earth and she just can't wait to use them. =)

One of the coolest things about her new trick is that she sometimes looks like an action hero when she's doing it--hi-yah!

"Take that!" she says.


And "that!"

#5--Stand.

Grace LOVES to stand on her strong little legs. It is definitely one of her favorite new things!

Here she is, just yesterday, standing on our living room floor:

And #6: Hanging out with her family, of course!

Here she is with her Grandpa (at Dixie's Diner, just a week before we left Rexburg). (As you can tell, Grandpa's a big fan of Grace, as even the waitresses there now know! And Grace is a big fan of her Grandpa too!)

With Aunt Rachel (who's been so good to babysit Grace for us from time to time):

And with Daddy!

Snuggling...

Reading the Book of Mormon...

..and chatting and smiling!

Hope you've enjoyed this special on Grace. Tune in again soon for a post of our recent goings-on in Ohio!
