Happy New Year! Gracie is 9 months old and growing like a weed! She is a new person every morning when she wakes up. Her personality grows so much every day. She is such a lover. She charms everyone she meets. She is trying her hardest to crawl, and thanks to a few tips from her friend Clare, she has now learned the worm crawl. She is now eating finger foods, and loving it. I'm not loving the mess. Can't say this is my favorite food stage, but it's fun watching her learn to eat new foods and eat like a big girl. Her new faves are broccoli, bananas rolled in graham cracker crumbs, and cheese. I miss my tiny baby very much, but I have now found a new friend who loves mommy unconditionally. I think I can live with that! Happy New Year!!
