Checking out Elmo.

Pat the Bunny.

Relaxing with Dad.

Grace just loves this book!

Playing with the socks -- she thought it was hilarious having Dad's socks on all four limbs.

Playing with her walker.

Mama. Why are you bothering me?

Trying to turn on the television.

Practicing bending over to pick something up. Can you believe that tummy?

Playing in the afternoon.

Sitting for a picture for Dad.

Grace loves playing with the rails on the back of this chair.

Today our friend Petra came over and brought Grace some fun blocks. She really enjoys this one with the mouse hidden behind the door.

Dad and Grace in the ultrasound room this morning.

The Deuce puts in another appearance, looking so much bigger this time! Some video of the ultrasound is here -- you can see the baby kicking, waving and moving its fingers! We decided that we'll all find out whether it's a boy or girl in November.

After, we went to our traditional post-appointment burger place for some lunch.

Nature lover.

Not feeling very well today.

But the hair is as perky as ever!

Grace is getting so much better at getting around with her walker. This video shows her walking away from the camera. This video is even cuter, with Grace walking back toward the camera. Also note her fashionable topknot bobbing away as she walks.

Sweet baby in a great mood.

First sandwich on her own.

Taking a break from reading to watch the World Cup.


Reading with Dad.

Dad taught Grace to feed herself dinner for the first time. Can you tell we're trying to let her be more independent at mealtimes? It's hard, but she's doing great.
