Eleven weeks ago, Gracie rocked our world and completely changed our lives for the better. I had no idea that I would love her so much or that she would love us so much. I can't help but laugh when she cries to be held by one of us and as soon as we pick her up, she gives a gummy grin. Josh loves playing with her and doing whatever he can to make her smile. And she just talks up a storm to him. I can't get over how much she's changed in three months and she has so much personality.
Some of the nicknames we have come up with for her are:
Bubbles (Josh calls her that because of her spit bubbles that she creates)
Gracie May May
Punky Doodle
Pretty Bitty
Munchkin
Her favorite sounds are white noise and train sounds that are on the white noise app. She loves looking at the wall by her changing table, where all the teapots and "book" shelves sit. Her eyes wander to the colors and when I turn on the machine in her room that creates images on the ceiling. These are things I want to remember years from now when she's running all over the place and I'm trying to keep up with her changes everyday.
I was re-reading past blogs that I wrote during my pregnancy. Gracie is more magical than we could have ever imagined. I know it's cheesy to say, but she is our reason for everything. I simply want to give her everything the world has to offer and I want to give her all of my love. I think she makes me a better person and helps me grow. Not only would I give up anything and anyone for her, but I have sacrificed things for her and will do so for the rest of my life. If I have to choose, Gracie will always win and that's the way it should be; I'm just glad I realized it before she got shortchanged. She will get every little bit of me and I want every little bit of her; especially those cute little toesies that I love to kiss! I know someday, though, she won't let me kiss those toesies or hug her all the time, so I better get all the snuggles in while I can.
