New Words..

It seems that Grace has been saying quite a few new words since we have been in Oklahoma.

• Strawberry
• Papa
• Abby
• Up
• Zip it (talking about the bag of dog treats she wants to be unzipped)
• Whiskers

Those are just the ones I can remember right now. I think having people other than her Mommy and Daddy around makes her need to talk more. We just know her little cues so I think she feels she can get by with just pointing and saying "that."

She is also becoming pretty sneaky. We have been working on breaking the pacifier habit and have limited to only naps, bedtime, and while travelling (planes, airports, etc). So today she has tricked people into letting her have her pacis TWICE. The first time she told my Mom she wanted to climb the stairs. When she got to the top she went straight to her bedroom and found the three pacis she had thrown out of her bed so she would be able to get to them later. Then this afternoon she got Papa Bill to climb the stairs with her and she told him she wanted in her bed so he just thought she was tired. She searched the corners until she found her paci then asked to get out. She is one smart little cookie!!!
