Well, since Tim is away at meetings I thought I could post an update (without pics since I forgot how to put them on the page) about darling Gracie! The story begins like this...Tim and I whistle at eachother when we are apart and need the other person or want to draw attention to something (thanks Aaron and Jill, we stole your idea). For instance, when dinner is ready, I will whistle to Tim and he whistles back to tell me he heard and then he makes his way to where I am. Gracie has caught on to this habit of ours and goes around saying "dada" and attempting to whistle- a very breathy sound. At that point I will whistle for her and Tim comes to find her!

Since Tim has been away she goes around the house saying "dada" and trying to whistle and seems to be confused that he isn't responding. The other night she did this in the bathtub and after her whistle, she stood up and looked down the stairs to see if he was coming :) It was very cute! We think she is picking up our lifestyle at a pretty quick pace!

Other things she is into right now are baby dolls- dressing them and wrapping them in blankets and carrying them around, singing- well she likes me to sing to her, reading books, playing outside, throwing things in the trash- no matter what it is, if she suspects she wasn't supposed to throw it away she looks at me and says "uh-oh", and dogs- every animal is a dog and every time she hears one bark she says "doggie" and looks to find where it is. She is a silly girl who keeps up on our toes!!!
