Grace Update

Since it is cold and flu season the doctor recommended keeping the baby home for eight weeks. Eight weeks is a long time. Especially since we were avoiding public places before the baby was born due to the swine flu. So here I am today, home with the baby while Grace and Neil are off at church..... and I am jealous. Grace was so cute last week, she came home and told me she was a "child of God." I'll have to see what she says she learned today. She is growing up like crazy so I am going to document some of her recent sayings and activities. When ask if her pasta was yummy she responded, "Its niice." She has taken to asking for bubble baths repeatedly during the day and since we are stuck at home she usually has two a day. And just this morning I closed my eyes for a second and she had climbed into the baby's bassinet and was giving him kisses. She was sitting on part of one of John's legs but he didn't wake up at all so I'm pretty sure he is unharmed. Her favorite activity is to hold the baby and she gets really mad if someone takes him away. Also Grace received a red wagon for Christmas from her aunt and uncle and refuses to call it anything but a choo choo. Grace is also an expert at sneaking away food and hiding it. While my mom was here she gave Grace a bath in the morning and then when she went to get Grace dressed she noticed Grace was happily eating a cookie. They hadn't been downstairs yet and we are still not sure where G hid the cookie. The same thing happened with a mysterious piece of toast too. Thats all for now- Happy Sunday!
