18 months- updated


I'm feeling a little brain dead right now as Grant just sobbed for the past 2 hours. He finally fell asleep. He better sleep all night too. Grant is really becoming a little boy. He is saying new words frequently, he gets so excited when he sees a bus on the street, he loves waving bye bye to our neighbors, he's getting more generous with blowing kisses, and he has discovered some big boy books on the bookshelf. This week we've read I'm Dirty many many times and at the end he always wants it "agee." He also is really into Good Night Gorilla and will sit through all of Kittycat Lullabye, asking for it again, when he used to only want the first few pages read. Tomorrow morning he has his check up. I'm really interested to see how tall he is and how much he weighs.

Grant is 34 inches long and weighs 25 pounds 3 ounces.


This is the best Grant has ever posed for a quilt shot since he became mobile. He thought he was so cool laying there for us.

This may look like he's rolling over mid shot, but he's really not. This is what he did when we told him to lay down on the quilt. We were shocked he actually listened!

Vacation: Part 6- Hocking Hills

We made a quick stop in Hocking Hills on the way home. It was very busy and we weren't prepared for a long trek, but we walked around a little bit so Grant could stretch his legs and look around.

This is pretty neat!


Playing in the water.


Water!


Jellyfish are weird looking creatures.


Whoa, shark!


I don't want my picture taken with Mommy, I want to play in the water!

Vacation: Part 1

All vacation I had a bunch of blog posts composed in my head, but now I'm too tired and I can't remember. I'm going to post things, probably in random order, and hopefully get to writing too.


This Elmo phone is so cool!

Relaxing after a hard day at the beach.



Hmmm....


Trying out the bike trailer with Kellen.
