Happy Birthday Grant!!!

One year ago today Little Grant joined our family.A lot has happened in a year, and it has flown by!

Here's a glimpse at our sweet one year old:

*Grant can crawl and stand unassisted (he's even taken a few steps!)
*He eats like a champ. Sometimes he'll eat more than Trent or me!
*He loves his sister. There is no doubt in my mind that they were meant to be siblings. He'll wait outside her door while she naps just waiting to play!
*He loves to make noise (yelling, banging toys together, pressing buttons on loud toys, etc)
*His favorite places are: the bath, sister's room, the dinner table, or in the dirt
*He has discovered the toilet, albeit not for the object it is intended to be but as a small swimming pool. yuck.
*He can steal your heart with one smile and it now has 3 teeth to make it that much cuter.
*He loves to climb and I will often find him at the top of the stairs, on the top of the table, or on top of chairs/benches/other people. Trent likes this and will get him his first climbing harness as soon as he weighs 30 lbs.
*He has a cute fascination with his ears. They are his comfort objects. He'll tug on them when tired, grab at them when he drinks his bottle, and hold them while he sleeps.

We love you, Bubba! Thank you for being a part of our family!

We spent his birthday today having a waffle breakfast, opening presents, taking a nap, swimming in the pool, having lunch at McDonalds, taking another nap, opening more presents, having dinner, eating cake ( and burning his little fingers on his candle-he just grabbed the flame while we were singing to him!), and lighting off some fireworks! What a day.

We had his birthday party this past weekend. It was a fun night filled with family, food, and fireworks. Here are some pic from the fun evening:

His cakes. Why have just one?

Blowing out his candle with the help of sister. (yes she's dressed like a princess. It's a 24-7 thing)

He destroyed the cake, then the cousins offered to help him eat it.
