Hello from the Montgomery's and Happy New Year. The new year is here and baby girl is turning into a little girl toddler. We are having fun decorating her room into a Princess room. She has Princess's of all the characters around her room. Gracie loves playing her kitty keyboard, sitting at her table and chairs to color/play with stickers and loves to sing along with the Australian group...The Wiggles. She also enjoys going to the park and climb on the playground equipment. Gracie slides, swings and likes to watch the other kids. Her Grandma Carol just got back from visiting Stacey's brother and nieces/nephews in Australia. She had a good trip. She went to Woodspoint which is a camping cabin, also to the beach and to a nature farm. Josie who is 8 loves ballet, Catriona who is 5 loves to color and Seamus loves to play with cars, trucks and all different animals. Gracie knows the kangaroo, wombat, parrot, koala and the geiko.
Gracie's favorite characters are Winnie the Pooh, Arthur, Mickey and Minnie Mouse (The hot dog song) and Jeff, Anthony, Murray and Greg of the Wiggles. There is a new Greg...but mainly we watch videos (DVD/VHS). Also...we must not forget...Peter Rabbit, Barney and KState's Willie the Wildcat. Gracie just doesn't play with one toy...she plays with all of them. She also has a Snoopy cartoon card game that is advanced for her age but enjoys reading the cards and making up stories. 5 little monkeys she can resite at 22 mos, sing Twinkle, Twinkle little star and count/do her AbC's. Counting up to twenty. Sesame Street comes on PBS at 9am and she watches Elmo and all the characters.
Gracie also enjoys her Grandma Polly. She plays tea party with her and likes going to her house to play in her kiddie corner. We have books, puzzles and stuffed animals for her to play with over at Grandma Polly's house. She has a little red wagon that she pulls her stuffed animals in all the time. It is funny, but everytime she goes to Grandma Polly's she picks up the same bear.
More later, take care---Stacey, Joe and Gracie
