Today I got to paint with big girl paint! No more paint with water for me. I have graduated! Mommy had it all set up and ready when I got out of room time. I was very excited when I saw it, and painted for over an hour. Mommy was very impressed at how neat I was. 
Here is the finished product. 
Gracie is growing up so fast. She is pulling up everywhere now, and even stands up every now and then all by herself. She crawls as fast as I walk now, so she can keep up with me pretty well. I am so proud of her. When she does something new and exciting I tell her"good job Gracie! I'm so happy". This seems to be great encouragement for her. 
I had an exciting day on Saturday. I went to a Fancy Nancy party at Barns and Noble. Fancy Nancy is one of my favorite book characters. I was thrilled to realize Friday night that Target carries a line of fancy Nancy dress up clothes. Just in time for my party!!! Daddy noticed it first and showed it to mommy, who could not resist getting me the tutu.
Savannah and Rebecca came to the party as well. 
Savannah and I all fancy.
Gracie was not very fancy, but I think she had a good time.
Yesterday We went over to my Gigi's house to play. Savannah and Rebecca came too. This is Savannah and I helping Uncle Daniel push Rebecca and Gracie to the park.
I LOVE the teeter totter!!
Gracie poses for the camera. She is turning into quite a ham.
This is my newest trick. I can hold on and swing my legs back and forth. Amazing if I do say so myself. A big thank you to Uncle Daniel for all the swing pushing he did.
I am really beginning to develop my sense of humor. I think the funniest thing I do right now is to pretend to take a nap on my kitchen. It makes me laugh so hard when mommy comes in and sees me like this.
Thank goodness for Little People toys! They are perfect for both Gracie and me. It is a great way for us to learn to play together.
