Who needs toys...

when you have Mommy's tupperware, pots and pans and kitchen towels.
Is this how you ride my John Deer Tractor Mommy???
Grant loves his popper. (I think he is the only one in the house that likes it.) ;)

2nd Hair Cut

Grant went today and got his 2nd hair cut. He did very well with the help of a few bribes (He loves Fruit Loops and Marsh Mellows). ;)

Before...Did not like the cape so much. :)

After...

Grant has 8 1/2 teeth (4 on top, 4 1/2 on bottom). He is going for his 2nd hair cut next week. Actually he should have gone a few weeks ago but, I was trying to stretch it out so he would look handsome for Thanksgiving and his 1st birthday party. YES, I said his 1st birthday party. I can hardly believe it myself. My little baby is turning 1! :( This past year has gone by so fast. My little baby is also starting to take steps on his own. He will talk from the ottoman to the couch or chair. The other day he took about 10 steps all by himself. He will walking very very soon. Grant has a fascination with animals. He just lights up when he see's them. He is always wanting to play with our 2 dogs however, they don't want anything to do with him. When they see him coming toward them they take off running. He has yet to master the whole gentle concept yet. So when he gets excited he swings his arms around and hits them. However him and Jeter have this new thing going on now where they will "talk" to each other. Grant will make a yelling noise and Jeter will howl back at him. They do this multiple times a day. I have to pick Jeter up and put him in another room just to get them to stop because it gets VERY loud and wakes up Jason.

Grant also has a love of climbing now too. He will climb on just about anything, chairs, couches, stairs, ottomans, toys, dogs, you name it and he has probably tried to climb it. This past weekend we moved all my office furniture upstairs to our bonus and turned my old office into Grant's Play Room. Grant loves it. He will go in there and play all by himself. Its nice because he can have all his toys out and all I have to do is shut the door and not have to see all the mess. :)

Happy Birthday Jason!

Daddy loved his gift from Grant. :)

Happy Halloween

Saturday morning we got up and let Grant carve his pumpkin. (Well with a little help from Daddy, of course.) After lounging around most of the day we decided to go ahead and get Grant dressed to go out Trick-or-Treating. Well that was an experience all in itself. Grant decided he did not like his costume. After we finally got it on him he settled down. We headed out a little after 4pm. Our first stop was to my parents. My mom made Grant is own Halloween basket. He really racked up. He got Gerber Puffs, Yogurt Melts and Graduate Lil' Crunchies and an apple. After that we stopped by a few friends homes to show Grant off. After making the rounds with the friends we headed to our church's Trunk-a-Treat. We only stayed a little while there because/ it was starting to get cold and we had a very tired little puppy dog. He actually fell asleep in the car on the way home.

Grant checking out everything he got. ;)

Picture Overload

Okay, Okay... I know this is picture overload but, how could I just pick 1 or 2 to post when they are all so cute. :)

(Look at me... I'm so cute.)

(Look at my new trick)(Who needs a paci when you have toes) MY BIG HELPER!

(Look Mommy, I can help empty the trash can) :)Notice anything different??? Yep, you guessed it NO BUMPER PADS! After trying to escape twice in 1 day we decided we better remove them.

North Carolina Bound

Last Thursday my parents, Grant and I drove 12 1/2 hours to Jacksonville, NC to see my brother and sister-in-law. I was a little worried how Grant would handle being in his car seat that long. Surprisingly enough he did very well. We got him out every time we stopped. The only problem we had was getting him back into his car seat. We had to bribe him with Gerber puffs to get back in. ;) Thursday night when we finally arrived at their house Grant was so excited to get out of his car seat he did not go to bed until 11 PM. Late night for a little boy that is usually in bed by 8 PM. Sunday we decided to take Grant to the beach. He loved it. He would crawl right toward the waves. (Sand... Yum, Yum Good)
