Grace's Favorites Power Rankings - Week 7

A quick rundown of Grace's 10 favorite things.  Individual people are excluded, though that would make for a fun and deeply contentious post.

1. Feedings - Bottles are king in Gracie's universe, holding down the top spot in undisputed fashion.
2. Ceiling Fans - As her vision improves, Grace is learning to focus on shapes and colors.  So far, her favorite visual discovery are the fans, since she's looking up when she's being held and they make for a sharp contrast against the ceiling.  I'm afraid that when we finally turn one on, we're going to break her brain.
3. Kitchen Faucet - Even though she can't figure out what it is or where it's coming from, the sound of running water hitting the sink is the best way to soothe an apoplectic Gracie.  Combined with the kitchen ceiling fan, it's a killer calming combination.

Sleeping in her mommy bed.

4. Sleeping on People - People beds good, real beds bad. 
5. Baths - The fastest riser in the Power Rankings, Grace has enjoyed her spa days in the baby tub much more than the horrors of sponge baths on the changing mat.
6. Binky - She'd rather be sucking her thumb, but since she usually keeps her hands balled into fists Grace settles happily enough for the binky, especially if it means Carrie and I need to stay close by to keep giving it back to her whenever she spits it out.
7. Bugs - Not real bugs thankfully, but the cartoon bugs in her playset and her musical bumblebee.  And who could blame her, the bee is definitely makes better music than bands like Nickelback.

8. Silly Voices - A red hot up-and-comer, silly voices have scored big over the past few days, getting big smiles and a laugh or two out of Gracie.  On the downside, mommy and daddy's embrace of baby talk likely marks the end of our time as people that can function in an adult conversation.  Oh well, we had a good run.
9. Getting Burped - Getting burped is still getting held, so Grace is down with it, but it's not getting fed or getting to sleep, so she's increasingly quick and skilled at wiggling her way into a more desirable position.
10. Baby Swing - How the mighty have fallen.  After two weeks, the baby swing looked like a long-term panacea, often putting Grace to sleep in less than a minute.  Now though, four times out of five she begs out immediately after getting strapped in.  Baby swing is going to have a tough time staying in the rankings by the next update.
