Grace's Favorite Things

Caleb thought it'd be fun to start a list of Grace's favorite things. So here we go, in no particular order...
  • Bananas
  • Dogs
  • Grapes (she knows the sign for this one now too! Unforunately, they were 4.99 a pound last time I checked... :-( She still asks for them almost every day though.)
  • Bubbles! Often while Caleb changes her diaper at night I'll blow bubbles for her, and now she can sign (and say!) "more", so she'll keep asking for them, then throw her arms in the air with a little squeal when I blow a bunch for her. It's pretty darling.
  • Soap suds - She calls these bubbles too ("bah", that is), and sometimes after her lunch while I'm washing dishes, she'll see the bubbles in the sink and ask for them, so I'll scoop her up a handful and put on her highchair tray. Her hands and tray get cleaned (and her mouth!), and she has a blast trying to eat them! (I tasted them once to see why she finds them so appealing, and the suds feel like eating pop rocks, so I can't really blame her. I figure she doesn't get much of them in at least.)
  • Jumping on our bed - closely monitored, of course!
  • Walks - she'll go over to our back door and "hug" it, asking for a "wa".
  • Water - Another "wa"! She loves to stick her hands in Mama's glass.
  • Her doll, Lily. She loves to stick Lily in her exersaucer, or stroller, or sit her on her little box-seat. And she also loves to try to wear Lily's shoes.
  • Shoes - "sho", and she tries to wear everybody's! Especially Daddy's giant A&M house shoes or Mama's crocs.
  • Books - I've started putting a few in her crib when I put her down for a nap, and she'll sit and look at them till she falls asleep. She's gotten really good about not tearing our books now, so I've started reading her some of my old Little Golden books my Grandma gave me when I was her age.
Ok, I'm sure I'll think of more later, but our little one is just waking up and Mama has some laundry to go grab first.
