The Year of Gracie: November 2012

I promise I haven't gone anywhere, I'm still here!! This last month has been a whirlwind of activities for me! I have been so busy lately, I kind of forgot about the blog! October started with beautiful colors of fall and let me tell you, I love ALL the leaves that keep falling!! YUMMY! Leaves are by far one of my favorite things to eat these days! Nick always tells me I am like a goat because of all the leaves and sticks I find outside! By the middle of October, I got to meet a new friend! Grandma Elaine and Grandpa George became the proud parents to a brand new puppy! Her names is Sunny and boy oh boy is she little!! My nose is as big as her head!! I wasn't allowed to play with Sunny for a couple weeks until she got a little bit bigger now, but now that she has grown a little, we can play while supervised! I'm still learning my size too, so sometimes I forget how big I am!! Luckily I have Em and mom here to help remind me when I get a little rough!! This last month and a half I have also gone through about a handful of new toys! Mom and Nick even bought me a toy that had (notice HAD) 7 layers of stuffing to make it extra tough, but that posed no challenge for me! I made sure I took out all 7 layers of the toy and spread it throughout the living room to show everyone that I need tougher toys than that!! It became very clear this month that I REALLY love the car! I mean we already knew that I loved to ride in the car, but I have started to help myself to going everywhere with the family. I make sure I squeeze through everyone to get to the door so I can make sure I am getting to go with!! I've been pretty much everywhere these days :) I sure do love going with everyone! I discovered this month that one of my FAVORITE treats include popsicles! Mmmm! Talking about food, that leads me to Halloween!! Em was really excited to dress me up this year and thought long and hard about what I should dress up as! Finally she came up with the perfect costume.....A HOTDOG! Ugh. Would you want to be dressed up as a hotdog? I didn't think so. I was super embarrassed to wear the costume around! Luckily Em only made me where it long enough to get a couple of photos! I can't believe I am letting her post them on here. I'm looking forward to spending the holidays with family and getting to hang out with the family as the weather starts to change.

Much love,
