Promised pictures and updates!

So I have hit the ground running with my blogging adventures! Not. :( After a couple weeks I realized I wasn't blogging more often and I had made a poorly worded new years resolution. I never said how often I was going to blog. I am going to blog every week. Probably on Sunday because it will be my weekly journal for the week, and Sunday blogging (journaling) is considered a Sabbath appropriate activity! Check! So updates... Grant is walking! He is so little (tenth percentile)! But walking like a pro. He was never even scared and we barely encouraged it! So my little boy has reached all the "first year" milestones that a mother could have hoped for. I thought since Grant is a boy of course, he was going to be behind like most boys with their development. I thought he would be walking by maybe 14 months of age. But no he took his first steps at 10 months and walking well at 11 months and of course still fine tuning turning around. His latest jokester move is to walk to someone with excitement and then at half way he will slyly turn around and laugh about what he just did... getting the parent's hopes up. Oh my.. he may be a clown someday. He has such a sense of humor already!

Grant also has his 5th tooth and is teething the 6th, both on the top. He is sleeping 10-12 hours per night with out waking for a feeding (in the last 5 days that is) and takes 1.5 to 3 hours naps! Boy does mom love him now!!! Of course I love him unconditionally but with a baby like that... even the baby haters would love him! Grant is also learning his body parts. He knows eyes (closes eyes and points at his own), ears (flicks them with his fingers back and forth), and belly. He knows Grant by patting himself in the chest. He knows mole because Aunt Meg has a mole. So I don't know if he knows  her name. Sometimes he said Mole or mamole....... who knows. Anyway, he also knows the words: Rock, bird, dog (mmmf), horse (nneee pbts), sheep (aaaa), truck.. at this point the list goes on. Well here are a BUNCH of pictures for updating since December and probably a few more to come from ones I haven't uploaded to my computer. Enjoy!

Our 7- Layer bean dip. It was good!
