A Couple of Videos

Grace has been "on" the past couple of days.

This first on is Grace on the swing at the park. This is the first time we'd given her any big pushes.



This one is Grace eating some of Mom's garlic pasta at dinner tonight.

Hanging Out in the Back Yard



Grace got her own chair for the patio so she'd stop trying to climb on Mom and Dad's.

Grace's Trip to Florida

For some reason, these pictures are in no order whatsoever.

On the way back home, their flight was cancelled shortly before it was supposed to take off. The rental car had been returned and the house was an hour and a half away and the airport hotel was probably not going to be very baby friendly so they hopped a bus to Disney World for Grace's first trip to the motherland. Dad quickly established a "no parks" rule so instead they hung out by the pool and walked around the shops until it was time to go back to the airport the next day.

Checking out the flowers outside the house.


Standing in front of some giant tortoise thing.

Swimming in the pool.


This is actually back in Vero Beach where there is a Disney resort that has character breakfasts.


Grace enjoys sitting in chairs for some reason.

Getting ready to go out.

Ready for the pool.

She liked swimming but more than anything else she liked playing with her rubber ducks at the edge of the pool.
