Faith and Updates

I can definitely tell you over the course of being a foster parent to Grace I have definitely learned to pray...and have faith. There are times I want to just cry cry cry but I have to stop my self and remember to have FAITH! God is in control and Grace will be where she is suppose to be. He will take care of her. As of last week we found out that 1 of the 2 alleged fathers has signed his rights away. So we only have 1 more hurdle which is finding out the results of this paternity test. If it is negative....October 6 should be the day they terminate ALL rights...if its positive and the guys signs his rights away hopefully we still can terminate. If its positive and the guy WANTS her he has until April. Hopefully if it is positive him and his family will realize she is in a safe, healthy, loving environment and will leave her with us. The best thing he can do for her.

On to Grace:
She is CRAZY! lol In a cute way! Sometimes I forget she is only 9 months old. She acts like a 2 year old!! Throws her self back when she is mad, screams when she doesn't get what she wants, its really kinda funny. Aubrey (at Kingcadekitchen.blogspot.com) lists what M is doing at that time...I love that (im copying you!!)

Grace can:
Crawl...fast!
Stand and walk around holding on to things
Stand by herself....when she doesn't chicken out
Say "uhhhhh yeah!" and "yaya" (no mama or dada yet)
She can WAVE BYE BYE!! ITS SO CUTE!!!
She loves Neesy (our dog)
She lays her head on things she loves....like Neesy! And we say Sweeeet baby!!!!
She likes to throw things...she's got a GOOD ARM!
Finally loves her bath again...we went through a time she hated the bath and would cry! now she has found out how to splash...so she SPLASHES till she's out of breath! If I join in....she DIES LAUGHING!!
She LOVES FOOD!!! Always wants what we are eating! and can eat a lot...since she now has 8 TEEH!!!!
She loves TV...especially Yo Gabba Gabba and Sesame Street!
hmmmm what else....we go for 9 month check up friday so we can see how much she is weighing/height! She's still tiny!! Finally growing out of some 3 month stuff!

We are redoing her bedroom!
Painting it Dark Brown...with purple and white circles!! Her bedding is White with brown and purple cirlces!! Im so excited to see how it turns out!!!!! She currently still sleeps in our bedroom in her crib...hopefully once the rooms done she can start sleeping in her OWN room! :-)
