More Kisses
Tonight when we put Grant to bed we asked him for kisses. Usually, if he doesn't say "NOOOOOOOOOO," we get forhead kisses on our cheeks. Tonight he gave each of us mouth kisses on our mouths, then signed more. He gave us each another mouth kiss. Sometimes that boy is too cute!

Picture Post
I've been really bad about posting pictures lately. I finally downloaded a bunch off the camera. They look a little distorted here, but if you click on the picture you'll get a better image.
19 months old! Look how big he is on the quilt!
Another picture from the zoo with Cain, G, and PawPaw. Every time we sit down at the computer Grant comes over and wants to see pictures of Cain.
More play time at the zoo.
Watching tv.
Looks like he has something to say!
Grandpa and Grandma let him play with their phones.
Grant loves watching videos of Isaac and Owen. Here Isaac is building and knocking over blocks to make Owen laugh. Grant watched it about 10 times in a row and loved it.
Grant always wants to be outside. This morning when I got him up and changed his diaper the first thing he said was outside. What are we going to do when it's dark at 5:30 and too cold to play outside? I don't even want to think about it.
This is Grant's NOOOOOOOOOOO face in all its progressions. Too bad the pictures a little blurry. It cracks me up when he makes this face.
Grant lets us know anytime an airplane or helicopter flies over by saying airplane over and over until we acknowledge that we see it too.

Labor Day Weekend
Labor Day weekend G, PawPaw and Cain came to visit. They came Thursday night and went with Daddy to a Buckeye party. As you can see from the picture below, Grant was TERRIFIED of Brutus. The ironic thing is that the other day we pulled out a copy of "Hello Brutus" and Grant wants us to read it over and over and over... pointing out Brutus to us in many of the pictures.
Friday we went to the zoo. Posing for pictures doesn't work so well. But we did get to see the two female lions fight and the male lion break it up. That was cool.
Grant had fun squeezing through all the little openings and pretending to hang with all the big boys who were climbing all over the place.
The boys had a great time playing together. Of course Grant wanted every toy Cain played with and Cain had some toys he didn't want Grant to play with, but over all they did really well together. Grant clearly said Cain's name and even now says his name when he sees his picture.
And now Grant takes a turn trying to pull Cain. He even managed to move him a little bit.
Mommy and Daddy went away for one night while the babysitting service was in town. When we came home the boys were sharing a chair and watching Toy Story.
They got to go inside the stadium and check things out.

Grant was on a mission to touch every goat in the place. He'd quickly touch one and then scan the area for the next one.

Loving the slide

Slides are the best

Shades, Cows and Swimmin'
We went to Napoleon this past weekend. The big exciting fair was going on so we took Grant to see the animals. He loved the bunnies and eventually warmed up to the cows. He saw cousins, a St. Bernard, and went swimming. He even slept in the car on the way home!

Baby Signing Time
I don't think I've mentioned before how much Grant loves to watch Baby Signing Time. He sits in front of it smiling and mesmerized. He'll walk up to the tv and sign and say baby when he wants to watch it (which is frequently). We bought a portable dvd player to take on vacation for in the car. I had checked out a bunch of dvds from the library, but forgot all of them but the Baby Signing Time ones that I had already packed. Once he figured out he could watch BST in the car he asked for baby all the time. For a few days once we got home, every time we got in the car said baby.
I was just in the kitchen cleaning up and Grant was in the living room being very quiet. I was just about to go in and check on him when I heard BST starting up. I went in there and Grant was on the couch with the remote and a big smile. Somehow he had pressed the right button to start up BST. I guess if he's that smart* then he gets to watch it for a while. And I think we'll need to make sure the remote is put up when we're done!
*I will add we have a fancy remote that with the press of one button turns on the tv and dvd player at the same time. So he didn't press multiple buttons to do this. But still, there are lots of buttons on this remote, so it is amazing he pressed the right one and had the patience for it all to turn on without pressing more buttons.
