Growing up.....FAST

Grant had his 18 month (I know!!) visit yesterday. He weighed in at 26.8 lbs and 32.75 inches tall. These marks put him in the 60th percentile. Not bad for a kid who can out eat his nana. Now, for some giggles!! His head measured at 50 cm, YIKES! I gave birth to this kid. That is in the 97th percentile. Although, looking at his parents, we too have nice sized melons, so the kid never had a chance! He is due for a trim from his cousin Denise today so that he can look extra adorable for his 18 month pictures that we are having taken tomorrow! So those will be posted later! Then I am off to Texas for a week for Nationals so Grant will be shacking up with Daddy and then Nana/Papa when Daddy is rail roadin it!! This will be the first time I have been away from him for more than a night in 18 months. I am nervous!!! I know he will make it, but will I???? Miss and love everyone....just wanted to let you know all know how our little guy is growing up so fast! If you blink, you miss it!!

Little Swimmers

Grant hates the little swimmers swim pants. So much that he would rather just play with the watering hose completely naked. So, since he's only 17 months, we let him get away with it. He thinks its great, he waters our plants and flowers out front, lets the dogs get a drink when they are thirsty and sometimes, if we are lucky, we get drenched when we aren't looking. Anyways, we got a couple of shots of him playing in the water, since its been 95+ here for a couple of days. Here's looking at you kid...........

Independence Day

Happy 4th of July to everyone. We had our annual gathering at the house last night to kick off the celebration. Lots of friends, family and food--3 important components! Grant absolutely loved the fireworks. Mike and I were unsure of how he might react, but he just smiled, pointed and said boom over and over. It made for a very fun and entertaining evening. This afternoon, Grant and I joined my parents, grandma Bea and Liz and Craze for another small gathering. Papa, Nana, Grant and I shot off some more fireworks after the brief rain shower that attempted to spoil everything. We won, we got it in!! Grant is pooped and is knocked out in bed, but it sounds like a war zone outside, so we'll how long that lasts! Miss and love everyone--enjoy the holiday!!
