O'Neal Updates: 2013

Gracie has been an AMAZING baby. There has been so much that has happened in our live since my last post. I will make separate posts for each agenda item in our lives. Coming up: Nikki and Andrew updates, Dog updates, vacations, Nikki's honest first year of postpartum crap.

But for now you get to find out everything you ever wanted to know about Gracie JO.

Nick names: Gracie JO, Girl, Monster, Noodle, Noodle Bug, Noodle Bear, Sweet Potato Pie, Princess Pie, Chick, Chicken Noodle, Chicken Little, Pumpkin Fritter, Turd, Turd Magurd, Turd Bucket, Poop Factory. Sometimes we call her Gracie...
Hair: LIGHT brown, and some red. Auntie Lindsey trimmed it last weekend for the first time
Eyes: mostly brown, kinda hazel
Skin: softest skin I've ever felt.
Physique: Huge belly, tiny hips, no butt. Still in size 2 diapers, but we are moving to 3's any day.
Food: Still nursing, ya I am as shocked as you are. She eats just about everything, when she's in the mood. She hates bananas.
Teeth: 2 bottom and 3 top. She had the bottom 2 for so long and now it is like there is one a day!
Daycare: She is at a home daycare with her favorite cousin, Mia! Nana (my mom) watches the girls once a week. It is such a great set up!
Favorite past time: swimming/bath time, Playing with "Bia" (Mia Bedia), picking her nose, reading books, rough housing with dogs and dad, feeding Barney, being naked, climbing.
Fav Toy: Stuffed animals, obnoxious talking bear
Tricks: Yoga while latched on to me. Prefers to get her diaper changed while upside down or standing. Loves going under water. Climbing. Motor boat sound with her mouth. Dog whisperer.

Accomplishments: She has learned so much very quickly! Rolling over (2 mo), crawling (6 mo), Standing (7 mo), walking (9 mo), airplane trips, sharing, baby yoga, climb, she can run away really fast, she can your phone ANYWHERE, go under water.

what we hope to accomplish next: We are practicing walking in boots, saying words, manners, and her make up application skills (she loves it, just a little sloppy).

She has survived bronchitis, UTI, fever seizure, hand foot mouth disease, several colds, brutal teething symptoms, and a weird yellow toe nail thing. She is one tough cookie and I can't believe she's all mine!
