Gracie is at such a fun age. She is getting to the point where she notices when I am putting away toys and she helps me. She also has helped me put things in the dishwasher a couple of times and as you can see, helped her dad take out the garbage.
Gracie has also taken more interest in "cooking" lately. She loves getting spoons, spatulas, or whisks and stirring things around in pans or bowls.If you look closely at her lip, you'll see that it's red. She bit her lip the other night(and it started bleeding) when she boncked it on the stereo at Carrie's house (Justin's sister). Gracie started crying and I went over and picked her up. Gracie is kind of famous for holding her breath in-between cries but right when I picked her up she started holding her breath and did not breath for what seemed like forever. We worried she was choking, and as I was basically in shock, Carrie grabbed Gracie to do the baby heimlich. Gracie took a breath and then I heard Justin say, "she's passing out". She woke right back up, but I started crying during all of the drama. Everything is fine, and Larry said that some of Justin's other siblings have done that before. It talks about it in the book What to expect the first year. All I have to say is, I hope I don't ever have to go through that again.

Mags, I remember my little brothers would do this. They would cry so hard they would hold their breath, turn blue and then often pass out and fall asleep. My mom took them to the dr. and was instructed to try to help them calm down but if it doesn't work then to lay them down so if they pass out they wouldn't hurt themselves falling or anything. A little scarey for a mom.
oh my gosh, that is totally scary! i'm glad it turned out okay.
