Some highlights of his first year that we will always remember are: his contagious smile and hilarious laugh many times. I hope I can always remember what it sounds like. It always makes me smile! I don't know that anyone could not smile when they hear it. It's not a regular giggle that most babies have, Grant's laugh is a full blown belly laugh! We love it. He rolled over at 4 months, and started crawling at 7. He is a little speedster with his crawl and loves to turn around to see if we are following him and then once we are, he takes off as fast as he can! He's not quite walking by himself, but bear crawls or will stands up and walk with help. He has found a few sounds and signs for his communication and words, and generally now (since about 9 months) sleeps through the night!
He loves to eat noodles, crackers, fruit, and meatballs - and he loves to drink water. He loves to play outside, in the water and with stuffed animals or balls. He is also quite the little dancer and loves to shake it whenever he hears music. He also has developed a love for "Emo" (Elmo) and "Da" (dogs)! And don't try taking anything away from him, he will growl at you!
He has endured 2 moves, as well as camping when he was 10 days old! He has enjoyed family getaways to the Sawtooth Mountains, Las Vegas, and Utah. He loves his big brother Lincoln and thinks most anything Lincoln does is funny. He loves to give kisses to Mommy and his teddy, and he loves for Daddy to play with him. We are so lucky to have our little Googie (Googs) and love him so much!
Hooray...I'm 1 today! :)
We had a fun day celebrating Grant including breakfast at McD's, a picnic in the park, swimming, and of course cake!
He was excited to see the candle...but really wasn't sure about the cake...I don't even think he ate it, I think he just laughed and played with it!
This was the day before while celebrating with Gramma and Pop Watts...he really wasn't sure what to do with the cake this time either, and was sleepy from a big day! Poor guy but..."it's my party and I'll cry if I want to..." :)
Happy birthday Grant...WE LOVE YOU!
