Dear Gracie,

Today you used a straw for the first time. You hate the sippy cup, even though we have been working with you to try and get you used to it. We went and volunteered at the kitten shelter (you spent more time playing with the cat toys than with the cats), and then we had Mexican food for dinner. After drinking ice water out of a cup, and spilling it all over your purple onesie and your ittsy-bitsy little jeans, we put the straw in your mouth, just to see what happened. After chewing on it for a bit, Daddy was shocked to feel ice water come up through the straw. You often sucked up too much water, and projectile spit it out, but we were so proud. Then you got down, walked around the restaurant (using my cane!) and then made friends with the couple at the table next to us who were very kind and interested in your adoption. I hope we see them again.

Love,
Mama

How sweet! What a big girl, using a straw - what a great talent. :-)

Chel (pronounced "shell"). 33. Mama to Gracie. Artist. Friend. Adoptive parent. Scrapbooker (not a very good one, at that). Long distance swimmer. Animal rescuer. Wife. Beader maker. Vegetarian. Rubber stamp collector.

Why the change? This new face of gingerblue.com is the culmination of three online journals/blog (the adoption blog, the baby blog, the art blog), plus the personal web page I have been maintaining since 1995. Here you'll find updates on Gracie, updates on my jewelry making, what I have going on in my art studio, and what's going on with life in general.
