Well, that is Little Froggie or Freddy. We really haven't come up with a proper name. Suggestions are being taken. "He" is very boy looking so girl names are out. Grace has chosen this animal as her security item. She picked him out all on her own. He DOES NOT leave the crib, for fear that he could possibly be missed placed. Which would probably cause more trauma to me then her. If you peek in on her during nap or bed time. Froggie is there. Sometimes she uses him as a pillow. Usually she all snuggled up to him. With out fail she throws Froggie out of her crib in the morning. We can not start the morning without placing Froggie back in the crib safe and sound. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDPxe-SoaJoCsYEIfHiQE740a8f1sf-NrrqGBCrGNZEfCZjqnMyZNGhO7-0hXpCoUDCZ8t4SHOmLbHCiZqe595GnHjuFh3LsitS7BQxL93PM2uHtVREVIkeHvzqHQvZyOCGv6-RyqkwYU/s1600-h/IMG_2100.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310675165745341090" style="DISPLAY: block;

You are 1 years old today. Thank you for picking us to be your parents. Thank you for your sweet spunky personality. You were dreamed about and loved before you were born. We loved you the minute we knew about you and our hearts were even bigger the day you were born. We prayed for you and thanked the Lord for you so many times, too many to count. Your our little blessing. Thank you for all that you are and all that you will become.

<br /><div>25. I have the world best husband!! He's kind and patient, loving and sweet. SUPER helpful, always willing to do anything anyone asks. He puts up w/ my family. He works really hard so that I can stay home w/ Grace. He's a wonderful DaDa, just watch Grace follow him around and you'll know that. He can take her for the WHOLE day if needed. (not kidding whole day) Once a month he gives me a Saturday morning off and I get to do whatever I want!</div>

<br /><div>So yesterday I was doing some stuff around the house. Grace was playing with her toys and I turned around to do something for just a minute and saw this!! It was sooo funny. I was laughing out loud. The funniest part was as soon as I grabbed the camera she went from whining to big smiles.<br /><br />Another big change in Grace's world is that she has decided that she no longer wants baby food. She loves fresh fruit, whole wheat waffles, whole wheat english muffins, grilled cheese and chicken. She is also not drinking from a bottle during the day anymore either. It's a sippy cup and good old whole milk. She loves it and I was really dreading the change. She did really well with the transition. It took about 2 days for her to not "ask" for a bottle. Now that she drinks milk she can have cereal in the morning and she thinks that's great!!!</div></div></div></div>Miranda Karl Christiansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00244948524800122873noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303324480314744660.post-52552029606222821842009-01-21T10:54:00.001-08:002009-01-21T10:55:36.649-08:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE LIZA!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguZXvHFf19W5neFYSMTcimUdcOKugb_t5P4JvU9rjVK1EMYxyPfLyNMBhnSApLLWAdj0rlVOwWS_uyJOPFBENWHZ2OPHJatQq2nUPCklLu4Ki0v864v8nqjAodsctBoEuaOuevJsAR-jg/s1600-h/001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293822597432836898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguZXvHFf19W5neFYSMTcimUdcOKugb_t5P4JvU9rjVK1EMYxyPfLyNMBhnSApLLWAdj0rlVOwWS_uyJOPFBENWHZ2OPHJatQq2nUPCklLu4Ki0v864v8nqjAodsctBoEuaOuevJsAR-jg/s320/001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Happy Birthday to you....</div><br /><div>We love you Auntie Liza.

I have a blog. After lots of convincing by Emily it's here, thanks to her! She says it's easy she better be right. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">No but really I've been wanting to do this for a while now. To keep our far away family and friends updated. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">SO here it is...don't pay too much attention to the spelling and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">grammar</span> and ENJOY!!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Grace turned 11 months yesterday and I can't believe it!!! She is turning more into a little girl everyday. She loves to dance, it's her new thing. Whenever music is playing (or your singing) she start bopping up and down or back and forth. She loves to wave "Hi" and "Bye". She'll even wave at the phone. She gives great kisses and hugs but ONLY when SHE wants too. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">DaDa</span> is still her only "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">official</span>" word. If you say "Grace say <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">MaMa</span>" she respond by saying "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">DaDa</span>"...nice!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span>Miranda Karl Christiansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00244948524800122873noreply@blogger.com4
