Helen Grace is 9

Helen Grace turned nine on May 25, 2018, the day after she finished the third grade. A few words from my guest blogger, the birthday girl herself…

My favorite thing about being 9 is that I get to celebrate with my friends. Momma is so sad, she says ‘my baby is all grown up’ and I say ‘mamma’ and she says ‘what?!’

Birthday morning. All she wanted was rollerblades. She never really gave us anything she wanted or needed, and while she was appreciative of all she received, she told me we didn’t have to do all of that. She has rollerbladed every available minute since then though, so I can say it’s a hit!

9:21 p.m., her actual birthday moment. Even though I was begging to go to sleep, she insisted on staying up until the very minute!

She’s around 54 inches tall and 62 pounds. Still in a booster and MAD about it. Asthma has been pretty under control with her daily inhaler.

Still wants to get in our bed any chance she gets and likes to talk until she falls asleep at night. All the WORDS!

Just lost her first tooth in at least two and maybe three years. (She lost the middle top four and middle bottom four and then stopped losing them for a long time. This one is just to the left of her middle bottom ones, and it fell out while she was eating ice cream at Grandma’s.)

Loves to borrow my phone and text her grandparents

Loves her iPad and plays Minecraft (and watches videos about it) constantly

Is a very confident and energetic bike rider

Begs to go to EDA so she can climb on the monkey bars. Pretty fearless with physical stuff- cantering, climbing walls, zip lines, etc.

Still loves her horse back riding

Has taken guitar this school year and soccer this spring and enjoyed both. Jury is still out what she will choose to do this coming year.

Loves to read and can read several books simultaneously

While she is good at math, she detests studying for it (or really anything for that matter).

She’s very carefree and worries about very little. Dedicated to her buddies and their happiness though.
