10 Things about...Gracie...

So onto the next family member...Our Gracie.

1. Gracie is a Girly Girl. Which is funny because at home she runs around with all her Boy cousins. And she had always been a Girly Girl, ever since she was one and she would show you her "Pretty Hair" (even though she didn't have any) She loves her makeup, Bows, Tea Parties, Dress up and Princesses.
2. Gracie likes her sleep. Since she was 8 weeks old, she has slept for 12 - 14 hours a night. She actually pulls the blankets over her head in the morning and tells me "Five more minutes". But if you let her, she will stay up ALL night. I once let her stay up to watch a movie with me, thinking "She's pretty tired, she'll fall asleep." But no, she was up till the movie was done, Midnight!
3. She is a Ray of Sunshine all the time (nearly, HA HA!) Brody is serious and things bug him, she is the exact opposite. Things just slide of her back and she goes on with life. She gets that from her Dad.
4. She is very in tune with people's emotions. She knows when things are not right, and reacts to it. She knows right away if you are upset about something, you can't hide it from her.
5. She is a 'Daddy's Girl' through and through. And Daddy is wrapped right around that little finger. She had a talk once with her Dad about having a boyfriend, and he's convinced her she can't date till she's 25. And then she wants to marry Daddy because she doesn't want to leave him!
6. She is our Social Butterfly. She loves people and going to school or the park or church. And if she knows someone, she'll talk your ear off! Funny thing though, if she's in one of her "moods", she won't give you the time of day!
7. She has "mood" swings. ( Here is the nearly part from #3!) If you do something she doesn't like, or change things without warning for her, watch out! There is a melt down like nothing else. We have to give her plenty of warning to live in peace.
8. I swear she never listens or pays attention (Flighty, I call it) but she has a VERY good memory. She often remembers objects or places by sight if we have passed them before going somewhere. And she is always talking about little things that happened ages ago, that you would never think she would remember! Like the necklace she lost last summer at Gramma's, she still talks about it and says she'll get it when we go back. She had that necklace for 2 days!
9. She has always loved to dance! Ever since she was little, (probably with me teaching clogging!) She loves music and dancing. Lately she's been into Hannah Montana, and even though she doesn't know the words, she tries to sing along. She does have quite the moves!
10. Her nick name is "Lou Who", because when Uncle Steve saw her in the hospital, he said she had a nose like the "Who's" from Dr. Suess. He started calling her Gracie Lou Who. And it stuck!

There's my Gracie Dawn. She is such a special little girl, 

and even with 

the Dramatics, I am soo glad to have her in my life. She helps remind me that there are some 

things that just aren't 

important. Just let those things go and live your life in bliss! Love you 

little Lou Who!
