Just recently Grant figured out how to take his diaper off. This morning I was getting ready and he was running in and out of the bathroom to see me. Then the last time he ran in to see me, he didn't have anything on. So we decided to put his diapers on backwards.
This past weekend Champaign had some rain storms that were linked to the hurricanes in the south. This is a picture of a tree in our complex that split in half due to the strong wind storms. Half of the tree fell over into the children's play area.
The other half of the tree fell onto the pool's fence (crushing it.)

Grant is dramatic- I don't know where he gets it from. Grant thinks everything is really cool so he always says "Whoa" with a very gruffy voice.
The other day I gave Grant some diced apples as part of his lunch. When he was full, the problem was that there were some apples left over. To solve this problem, he kept putting the extra apples in his ears.
Grant loves going down slides. Usually he goes down doing the splits, but this time he actually went down with both feet in front.
Anyone who has been around Grant for more than 10 seconds can guess what his favorite word is...Ball. He watched Chris play softball last week and so now he is obsessed with catching/throwing balls with the glove.
He also likes to play softball with our cooking spoons. He always hands me a spoon and then tosses me a ball. Also, try to ignore the fact that he isn't wearing pants- we had a busy morning.

Grant also likes to use spoons for moving things out of his reach.

he is so cute. If you send me a email, I'll send yo uthe short video we have of my mother and grant playing with a ball at the wedding. It's not the highest res but it makes me laugh. I'm still not sure who was having more fun...
oh that little granty-pants. such a boy :)
Hey when I saw that tree I said WHOA too!
Emma actually went through a stage where she asked to have her diapers put on backwards.
Yep, I remember that favorite word.
It looks like grant has a healthy dose of gumption and wherewithal. That's what a boy needs these days, if you ask me.
I can totally sympathize with the mystery wound thing. Ellis is always getting little bumps and scrapes with all her explorations.
I love the spoon and ball tricks.
What the heck. Are you guys beating your child? That's one nasty cut.
what a darling little boy! And that's a great idea to put the diaper on backwards, I'll have to remember that!
KaraLee, that tree picture with Chris and Grant is awesome! I love it that they're making the same expression! I miss you!
