Grace is 15 months old!

At 15 months old, Grace is a busy little lady! She loves to run around with Griffin and is starting to enjoy reading too. She loves slides and climbing on anything she can. She also loves to take all the spices out of the spice drawer and put it all back, or just leave them all over the kitchen for Griffin to pick up for her. She is starting to talk and can say "ball" and "Stella" and also attempts to say, please ("peas"), thank you "dank-oo"), book (buh"), peek-a-boo ("pee-boo"), and color ("cuh"). She still loves Stella so much and we often find her hugging her. She loves playing with Griffin and getting in the middle of whatever he is doing, so they're both getting lots of practice in sharing. She gets so excited when we come home from work and she squeals as she runs to us for hugs...she is quite a sweetheart!

At 15 months old, she is still a little peanut:

18 lbs. 4 oz. (below the 3rd percentile)

30 1/4 inches long (25-50th percentile)

and her head is in the 10-25th percentile at 44.5 cm

I often joke that she's 15 months going on 15 years, based on her sassy attitude, so this picture cracks me up!

We had a weekend free of major plans...it was fun to relax and hang out together!

We went for a walk, which took a lot longer once we spotted the fire department practicing, so Griffin insisted we watch for 45 minutes as they sprayed water everywhere. It was fun to see both Griffin and Grace so excited!

A few pictures from the park:

Grace is quite the go-getter, she has no idea she's a baby and is constantly trying to keep up with Griffin.

Grace insisted that we let her ride Griffin's bike

Griffin was happy to help her!

We went to the zoo on Sunday:

They always have fun playing in this buggy thing at the zoo!

G-man

Griffin was being a proud big brother!

Griffin was so brave - he fed the birds!

Fun on the carousel

Grace loves it too

Cohen and Griffin spent almost an hour on the swing set that evening

Grace learned how to climb the ladder and go down the slide by herself and will do this over and over again for as long as you let her!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day weekend, despite most of us being a bit under the weather ...

Griffin's smile when I gave him chocolate cereal in the morning

It was a warm day, so we spent lots of time at the park:

We had a little get-together with friends and lined the kids up, as usual ... Cohen, Grace, Griffin, Eli, Isaac, and Levi

Hilarious.

BeBop, Pop Pop, and skiing!

We were lucky to spend a few days with BeBop and Pop Pop both in Denver and in Breckenridge last week. As always, we had tons of fun!

BeBop and Griffin at the sand park

We spent lots of time playing around the house:

We went up to Breckenridge for a few days where we all got to ski, including Griffin!

Here he is trying on the ski boots and skis

We took him out to the parking lot to practice the night before and he loved it!

Family picture!

Grace and BeBop running around

She was loving the slippery snow!

Griffin immediately wanted to go down the huge, steep pile of snow in the parking lot

We went to the Museum of Nature and Science too, where Griffin spent 30 minutes playing with this machine. He loves to see how things work!

Fun at the sand park

The day Griffin tried skiing was beautiful - almost 40 degrees and sunny!

He's ready to go!

Quick family shot

Griffin wanted to ski with his baby cow, so we tucked him right in his little harness for him

As you can see, Griffin just wanted to look at Baby Cow instead of trying to ski, so we eventually had to take him out.

Grace LOVED the magic carpet! She spent lots of time going up and down it

Griffin on the magic carpet

It was fun for all!

Griffin loved that we both had helmets on so we could bang our heads together
