Three months ago this evening we were on pins and needles, anticipating the arrival of Grace the following morning at the hotel in Hefei. What a grand--and busy--three months we have enjoyed with Gracee home. We apologize that we haven't posted to the site since late August. It's not for a lack of photographs; Gracee has proven herself to be quite the willing model for the camera. She is walking now (three months ago she could barely sit up by herself on the hotel bed) and now talking Gracee-speak. (She barely made a sound the first day or two she was with us.)
Her vocabulary as of today: Momma; cat; gog (dog); night-night; cup; car; yellow; neck; eye; nose; toes; belly; Anna; Niles; thank you; flower; snack; bye-bye; more; and Dadda. About half the words have to be translated by one of us. There are some sounds even we don't know. She is a pro at blowing kisses!
Gracee is so much more of a blessing than we could ever imagined. She loves her family and we love her. She is perhaps the happiest child we have had as a toddler and instantly became a full-fledged member of the family. She is great eater. Her favorite foods are raw carrots, french fries, green beans, potato chips, chicken nuggets, Cheetos, squash, lettuce, bell peppers, and fresh tomatoes--just like her Daddy Ken liked.
