Growing up

This is Gracie outside of our apartment. She was having fun crawling around and exploring her new space. Some good news in the crawling department- Gracie has finally graduated to walking. She has been standing on her own since August and I've been thinking for two and half months that she was ready to walk. Even a month ago, she had taken steps but I didn't really count it as walking. This last week, everything changed and Gracie has been walking all over. We are so proud of her and I'm amazed how quickly she is picking up speed, bending over and standing back up, and how grown up she suddenly seems.This is the view outside of our little condo. I love looking out our window and seeing the temple. We are really close, so I have also loved taking Gracie on walks by the temple and through our beautiful neighborhood.
This is our new bedroom. It feels nice to have our furniture back and our pictures out- we didn't bother unpacking them this summer because we had enough closet space and we didn't want to go through the hassle of packing and unpacking all of our stuff multiple times. For those who don't really know, we moved from Provo to Pine Valley in April, we stayed at Justin's parents' place in Pine Valley for a month and then moved to another home in Pine Valley for 5 months and have just recently moved to St. George proper. Does it make you as tired as it makes me?
Here is the living/dining area. I like that it is really open. The kitchen is just to the left of our table.
I've decided that as a blogger I've become a sick person. I'm heading to Wal-Mart to get supplies to make Gracie's Christmas stocking and I thought about bringing my camera along so I can get a good picture of the tantrums she has been throwing lately every time we go to the store. The other thing I was going to take a picture of was our TV remote because Gracie has been hitting herself in the head with it (on purpose, a couple times in a row) until she does it too hard and she cries. I try to catch her in time and take the remote away but I'm still trying to figure out why she would do such a silly thing. Well, in the interest of not being a sick person maybe I'll just have to describe her next tantrum in vivid detail and forget the pics.
