Grace is curious and independent, but also extremely cautious. She tends to run most things by mom and dad to see if they're okay. She likes people to interact with her, but doesn't like them getting too close (which has always been the case).
Her latest fetish: Shoes! She daily insists on which pair of shoes she's going to wear. We can't even walk her by a shoe store in the mall without her yelling "shoes" and demanding to touch them and try them on. She even goes up to other people's shoes and presses on their toes as if to make sure they fit (she learned this from us doing it to her when buying her a new pair). Even in Israel, we'd have to stop for regular shoe inspections. She's a total girl!
After visiting her cousin Jackson in Temecula, Grace and I stopped by a duck pond. If you've ever met Grace, you know that she has a thing for ducks (duck was one of her very first words). She was absolutely captivated!
She made a little friend there that seemed to share her duck love.
This is Grace's angel, Ruth. Many of you haven't had the opportunity to meet Ruth, but she is one of the greatest blessings in our lives. She adores Grace and Grace, in turn, seems to have a lot of peace and joy when she's with her. Ruth is also the reason why Grace only says certain words in Spanish like agua, hola, and silla (chair).
