The Blanchard Family: Grace is TWO!

Grace is TWO!

Grace turned two years old on October 17! I can't believe she is already two! At her check-up, she weighed 22 lbs 9 oz, and was 33" long, she is tall and thin for sure! Grace usually goes to be about 9:00 and gets up between 7 and 8. She will sometimes wake up in the night still and then come in bed with us. She hasn't switched to her "big girl" bed yet, but we are going to do that soon! She has 16 teeth, just waiting for her two year molars to come in. She has never had a pacifier and still doesn't use one to this day. She doesn't really have a "lovie" or anything special she sleeps with either. She has a pink waffle blanket she usually sleeps with, but it's not like the end of the world if she doesn't have it. :) She does like to snuggle though and goes to sleep by mommy holding her and walking around, then putting her in her bed when she's asleep. :)

Grace is still a snuggle bug. She loves to snuggle with you or have you hold her. Her personality is coming out so much and I know I always say this, but she is not going to be left behind. She loves to get right in and play with her brother and sister. When they take something away from her, she gets mad and screams. She loves to be silly and run around the house, especially if someone is chasing her or if they are going to "get me", as she says. :) Grace enjoys music, she likes to dance to music and also knows several lyrics to Frozen's "let it go". Swinging is still another favorite activity, Grace could swing outside for hours if you would let her. She also loves to try things on. She will wear multiple pairs of shoes (her own and others) all throughout the day. She also loves different hats, dress up shoes, and random outfits. Grace enjoys helping out too, she always wants to help with the dishwasher and loves "cleaning" around the house. Babies are also a favorite toy for Grace. It is so cute to watch her rock, "shush", bounce and take care of her baby.

Miss Grace,
We love your spunky little personality, you always make us laugh doing something silly. You also have such a kind heart and want to make sure everyone is "okay?" (as you say). You are no longer a baby, but a little girl. We love you very much! Happy 2nd Birthday!
