Random Pictures

Grant's new winter hat from Target!
He loves it!
Happy baby
Napping downstairs while I packed for North Carolina
So close to crawling!!!

Wearing Shoes!

Grant HATES wearing shoes or socks. He's gone barefoot pretty much his whole life, but I'm starting to put socks and shoes on him more often so he's used to it before it gets too cold outside. Here are some pictures of Grant's first day in his new sneakers!

In his Johnny Jump Up with his shoes on while Mommy gets ready!
At Grandpapa and Gigi's
Grant is wearing his shirt Gigi brought him back from Greenland!
Almost the same picture...couldn't decide which I liked more!
He hates riding in the car these days! :(

Bath

For about a month now, I've been giving Grant a bath every evening before bed. He absolutely loves his bath! Here are some cute pictures of him playing in the bath and a very funny video of him splashing around like crazy!

Video of Grant splashing :)

Videos!!!

Here are some cute videos from August and September!

Grandpa Wilt taught Grant to "motorboat!" Here he is motorboating away while I fold laundry.

I hate the way I sound in this video, but Grant just laughs and laughs when I make funny laughing sounds!

The videos of Grant eating never get old!

I threw Dexter's toy in Grant's swing on accident. Here Dexter is attempting to be brave enough to get it out on his own! This is a BIG deal for Dexter; he's afraid of everything!

I took this video at Grandpapa and Gigi's. Aaron was across the room making faces at Grant, and he was yelling, laughing, and jumping at his silly daddy!

Playing Before Bed

I just thought these pictures were cute of Grant (and Dexter) playing before bed one evening! Such a big boy playing all by himself!

In Mommy and Daddy's room laughing at Dexter before his bath!
Ready for bed now and back in the nursery playing
YAWN! Dexter likes going to bed with Grant before 8pm!

Fruit!

We've recently started Grant on fruits. His current schedule is to have oatmeal and half a container of fruit in the morning and a full container of veggies in the evening with some rice cereal mixed in with it. Grant's also continuing to have around 4 bottles per day, but he's WAY less interested in bottles than he used to be! He wants his "real" food!

Waiting for Mommy to make breakfast
First fruit ever...bananas!
Hmmmm...
If I remember correctly, this was his 2nd time eating bananas!
Such funny faces :)

New Veggies

We're up in the mountains now, so I'm going to try to spend some time this afternoon updating the blog. I think I have about 9 posts to do. I'm always so far behind! Anyway, a few weeks ago Grant tried some more new veggies: carrots and sweet potatoes. Fun times!

Trying carrots for the 1st time at Grandpapa and Gigi's
Sweet potatoes for the 1st time at Jenny's house for our playdate
The kid loves to eat! He always has a funny look after the first bite or two, but he always opens his mouth for more! I couldn't even tell you which veggie is his favorite, because he eats them all with the same enthusiasm! :)
