Good morning my little eye crosser! ;) Happy Christmas!

It was far too exciting a morning to wear her glasses, but she did a little "talking"! Trust us, she can be MUCH louder than this but here are a few sounds and "words":

Note: this is without her trach cap on so she has come a long way! We will be starting with our new speech therapist after the New Year and we are so excited for these in-home therapies (that G has had all along) to focus on actual speech rather than on feeding.

Santa brought Gracie a big Magna Doodle!

She also received some special Signing Time videos (our favorite!) to help with speech delays and potty training- thanks Grandma! Gracie wanted me to tell you that, along with signing, she has also become an accomplished finger-painter and cookie decorator as of late!

This is Gracie with her new bean bag chair and Leap Top "computer"- fancy business!! Please note her use of the pink helmet which she continues to put on every time she opens her Leap Top.....safety first, I guess!
Grandpa and Grandma Mary placed a special order with Santa for this new big girl trike and helmet! WOW!!!
Yahooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Gracie helping Daddy open his gift that she made for him which was....wait for it.... a finger painting! Yippee!
Ramsey and I truly enjoyed every moment of watching Gracie light up over every bow, holiday song, cookie and gift. But the BEST present is that we have the privilege of watching Gracie grow and thrive. She has come SO far since last year at this time and we are beyond thankful. Ramsey and I are also continually touched by the generosity and love shown by our friends and family, but especially from Scout and Ranger, Grandma, and Grandpa and Grandma Mary. Grandparents RULE!! THANK YOU!!!!
