My little helper

This is Gracie "helping" me in the kitchen. She is such a cutie and always says, "I want see" when I am cooking things. She also insists on wearing an apron every time I do (which I've been doing more now that my belly is starting to poke out more). The last month has been really fun to watch Gracie as her vocabulary has grown tremendously, and then as she has started to put sentences together. She can repeat most words and we love that she can communicate (minus all of her "I don't want it"s).

Gracie's favorite drink is noke (milk). She hates to be caught without her blanket, and we think that she might one day become an Olympic gymnast. She loves candy and is better than I am at finding it.

She is so cute! I bet she is tons of "help" in the kitchen--just like my kids are... I just love that blondie blonde little head of hers :)

that's cute that gracie likes to wear and apron. tillie always freaks out if I have one on, like i'm wearing a scary mask or something. I have NO idea why she hates it. she literally breaks down in tears when she sees me with one on. whatever.

i like it that gracie calls milk "noke" too. it's especially endearing when they start preferring "chocate noke" over regular "noke". not.
