14 Months Old and a New Year!

Grace is growing and changing and walking so fast these days! Here are some pictures from our adventures to the Beach this weekend- before the rain.

North Carolina Christmas

We made the long trek to North Carolina, (with only a few hick-ups), and had a beautiful Christmas.

Here Grace is practicing her chipping on Christmas eve.

Wanda and I are making traditional Polish Pierogie for Christmas Eve dinner, (13 or 11 dishes - we never seem to be certain on exactly how many to make :)

Christmas Morning: This is Grace, "Trying on", her new Christmas Pajamas.

Grace was definitely impressed with the Christmas decorations this year. Lots of "oooooooooh's"












The Day after Christmas we went to the aquarium and Grace was very impressed, which made it a very fun trip for everyone.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! Hope your Holiday was as shinny and new as ours was this year!

Let's go out!

We dressed up and went out to dinner at the Ojai Valley Inn, with some friends and Grace's playmates. Here she is ready to go on her Fairy Princess Party Bus, (Thank you Uncle Drew).

Play group

Play-group in the park.... lots of fun... lots of friends!

Santa Cruz Island: Prisoners Cove

After a great all-day adventure out to Santa Cruz Island, on the boat ride home we passed through an enormous (aprox 2000- yes two thousand) pod of dolphins. It was sunset and it was amazing!

Wagonista

Grace loves her wagon so much... she could play with it all day long... and she did! (Thank you Mimi and Granpa for the perfect birthday gift!)

Happy First Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Grace is ONE! What a wonderful year for our little bunny.

We celebrated Grace and her friend August's birthday together! It made for a fun and big birthday party in the park.

Now that Grace has turned One, her official stats are: Weight 23-lbs, Length 31-inches. That seems like a long way away from her sweet 7lb7oz, 21-inches just a year ago.

She has been crawling, climbing and getting ready to walk. Grace likes to

eat just about anything that she can feed herself these days. She has been spending her days at Music Class, Play Dates, and with Mom. Life is Great!!!
