We have had so much fun with Grant lately. It is fun to watch his little world open up as he explores new activities and learns more words. A couple of days ago he picked up a pencil and started drawing on the wall- so I decided it was time to break out the crayons and contain his exploration and fun to paper as he is strapped in the high chair. Now every morning before he eats he wants to color.
Last week a friend of mine invited Grant and I to join her and her son to pick some berries. I was really excited to go- I love doing that kind of stuff and I love raspberries. Even though it was cold and there were a lot of gross bugs, the boys had a lot of fun eating and squishing berries as well as chasing some "Mows" (Grant's Meow and word for cat). You can't really see it, but Grant is holding a stick- so I had to keep my eye on him, because he doesn't know that kitties can't play baseball. Oh and I am happy to annouce that I made Freezer jam with the berries- my first time!
This was a super gross spider that we saw among the delicious berries. The body was probably 2 inches long. After seeing this, I was a lot more cautious where I picked.
Lately, Grant has been doing little tricks for us. One that just cracks me up is squinting on demand.

So many new posts I haven't seen! Happy late birthday Flea!!! Hope you had a great day! I'm glad Grant didn't decide to play baseball with the kitty... And, yum! I want to make some freezer jam now and bust out the bread and toaster! :)
Did you go to Pontious Farms? I went once and they had so many of those same spiders that I could not bring myself to pick anymore and haven't been back. They are just too huge.

That is one crazy gross spider! Yikes! The berries looked delicious until I saw him.
How fun that Grant likes to draw!
