Ada Grace today...

So this is Ada Grace getting the very last drop out of her sippie cup! DRAMA
This is Ada Grace going after the paper that Mommy just told Ethan "NO" about.
Ada Grace has a new interest in books. She is developing more and more words and abilities every day and she can name and sign so many things in the books that she "reads"
Ada Grace and Ethan after the paper Mama has been telling the "NO Thank You" about for 5 minutes...you will notice that Ethan has part of it in his hand!








Anyway, here is a cute story about the things Ada Grace is starting to do. Since we all have had colds for a week now, we have been blowing noses often. Every time I wipe the kids' nose, I say "uky" (is that the proper spelling for it? heehe) Today when Ada Grace woke up and was dressed we went upstairs for breakfast like normal. Well, she went right for the Kleenex box and I was getting ready to scold her when she took JUST ONE and put it up to her nose (didn't really accomplish anything) walked over to the garbage drawer, pulled it open, threw the tissue in while saying "uky", pushed the drawer shut, turned around and looked at me like "now what Mama!"

She thought she was so big, and honestly, it makes me realize all over again how much she has grown up! Next week she will be 18 months, where have those 547 days gone? It is amazing to me that a year and a half ago from today, I had no idea I would be a Mommy and time soon...God is so good! I am sure you will be hearing more on an almost daily basis about the "new" things we are experiencing these days. Do any of you remember how faithful a blogger I was before being a foster mom (to children other than Ethan)? Well, be prepared! Once I get new batteries for my camera so it works all the time we are going to be posting LOTS!
