You are very independent. You want to do things your way and by yourself. You can play for hours in your room, but you like having Mommy and Daddy with you--but just hanging around.
You love TV time, and it is so sweet how you ask for it at night time. Your favorite shows are Dora the Explorer, Diego, Wonder Pets, and Olivia. You also enjoying hanging out with Daddy during his TV time watching DIS (NCIS). You have fallen asleep many nights in Daddy's arms watching this show. Your favorite movies are Mickey's Twice Christmas, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Cars (or race cars as you call them).
You like to give kisses and you have a special place for Mommy (on my forehead) and for Daddy (on his cheek near his jaw line). You love to also give hugs. If you get in trouble for something you instantly ask for a hug and kiss (but you are giving the kisses). You don't get in trouble often, but when you do it is timeout for you. Which you hate and quickly resolve what issue you got in trouble for.
You are so polite, and nearly always say "thank you" and "please". You "God Bless" those who are sneezing around you. Your Aunt Donna has started to rub off on you because I will catch you saying "Yes/No, Ma'am." Mommy is working on "no thank you," because it just sounds so much better than NO, which is also one of your favorite words.
You have such a large imagination. As I said earlier you love playing by yourself. Most of that time is spent playing with Barbies, My Little Ponies, and now your new favorite Little Pet Shop. You can carry on a conversation for a long time with any of them. Just recently you have discovered how much fun your American Girl doll Elizabeth is. She has become your best friend. You want to take her everywhere, she is right next to you at bed time, and you two are always having great conversations.
Eating is not your favorite thing to do. Actually sometimes you just prefer not too. But when we can get you to eat you love Chicken Nuggets, Fruits (grapes and bananas are your favorite), any kind of bread, "NO chocolate...just nilk" (milk) which is odd because this time last year you would only drink chocolate milk, peanut butter and jelly, pancakes with syrup, and sometimes you like macaroni and cheese and fries. The only think you would probably eat and drink everyday are pizza and cold, cold water. You are not a big sweet eater, but you get on kicks like Smarties, chocolate mints, or suckers. But a week later and you do not want any of them.
You are the child of many nicknames. Some of them include Grace, Gracie Lou, Lou Lou, El, and Ellie Belly. You answer to them all :)
You are excited about your new baby sister and are convinced that she will be named Arianna (even though Mommy and Daddy has not officially chosen a name yet). You get pretty mad when we suggest something else.
We are so thankful that God has given us three wonderful years with you, and we are looking forward to the next year as we move toward four.
We love you baby girl.
Happy 1st Birthday
