Gracie has sprouted 2.5 inches and gained 8 pounds in 5 months! She had a slow start, but perhaps getting over Hepatitis A, treating her parasites, and getting her seizures more under control has given her the edge that she needed to turn the massive amounts of food that she can consume into growth!
We had her dedication in church in March and my family was able to come up for it. We wore Liberian outfits (except Josh who was preaching that day - he felt he should at least wear a tie!). Gracie spent most of the dedication kissing Grandpa who was dedicating her to the Lord! So cute!
We also got to go fishing with Partners in Health - Northeast Passage adapted the fishing pole for her - she had a blast, although we only caught sticks! Grandpa (next to her in the photo) was in heaven, finally taking a grandkid fishing!
Finally, with warm weather, we've been able to play at the park. We have a fantastic playground near us - Gracie loves the swing and one of the slides! She's as much a "thrill-seeker" as ever! Guarenteed that she'll reward you with a belly laugh if she's swinging through the air precariously at break-neck speeds!
