Grace At 18 Months


My darling girl Grace, such a beautiful age and so many things to love more and more about you every day...



I love the way you like to help. You enjoy unstacking the cutlery from the dishwasher and the other day, I even caught you in the laundry putting Daddy's socks in the clothes hamper.

I love the affection you show for Asha. You love to pat her and give her cuddles and I can see you are going to be great friends.

I love your endless energy and love of the outdoors. You potter around in the garden, investigating things and pointing out anything interesting you discover. Your favourite thing at the moment is your swing (which has been the centre of a few recent tantrums).

I love the kisses and cuddles you willingly give. You rarely object to a request for one and snuggle into my neck like a little koala. The other day when I was reading you a book, you looked up and planted a big sloppy kiss on my lips (without me even asking) and my heart melted at your sweet gesture.

I love your joyful personality. You enjoy making others laugh and think you're funny when you walk around in our shoes or when you pull silly faces. You are such a happy little girl and such lovely company as we go about our days.


I'm so proud to be your Mummy x

  1. GORGEOUS GRACIE GIRL!!!!
    18mths is a very special age isn't it, they are so funny and cute. She is such a little cutiepie and it's funny because we have the same daisies in our back yard and Will loves to pick them and bring them over to me and say 'Ta'.
    Little darlings!

  2. Grace does the same as Will with the daisies :) She's obsessed with flowers at the moment (although not as obsessed as she is with her swing!!)

  3. Such lovely photos and words Amanda, thanks for sharing your special little girl! She's changed a lot in the 6 months I've been blogging and is starting to look a lot like a sweet little toddler girl and less of a baby girl! A very special, precious time, enjoy it!!!!

    Hugs, Christine xx

  5. Christine - yes she's definitely more of a 'little girl' now...apart from her lack of hair which is taking forever to grow :)

  32. I enjoyed reading about Grace! How adorable! She's lucky to have you as a mom! I remember 18 months was sort of a turning point and things got much easier after that since kids start to understand the language. I am sure you'll enjoy her development even more!! xo Kaho
