Today Grace celebrated her buddy Andrew's birthday at Appleseeds and had a blast. She exhausted herself, played with her friends and ate pizza. She was so tired, she was practically sleeping at the table. After Andrew blew out his candle, we picked her up to go and say goodbye. Not kidding - as soon as she saw pieces of cake being passed out, she pointed at her mouth, said "eat, eat" and wriggled out of our hands to dive at a slice. After an extra long nap, we went to the Goldstein's holiday party.
It's been about 2 weeks since we took the bottle away from Grace. The biggest adjustment, at least for me, is bedtime. These days after her pajamas are on, we read Goodnight Moon quietly in her rocking chair 3-4 times, turn lights out and snuggle for a few minutes before she goes in her crib. What's hilarious is that she has figured out to to extend the process. Yes: Grace understands the concept of procrastination already! In order to draw out both the book and cuddle times, she sporadically makes eye contact, puckers up and plants kisses directly on my lips. She also likes to look up and wave hi at me. It's very funny, very sweet and very smart. Week 54 Album.

The description of Grace's bedtime routine makes me melt! That's the cutest thing I've ever heard. Glad you guys had a chance to enjoy the snow over the weekend, too. It's a winter wonderland here in Boston!
