Yummy

Last week when I wasn't looking at Grant, he pulled an almost empty bag of cereal off of the table. When I found him, he was cooking with it (notice the whisk) and then...

Eating it.

Rubbing his hands in it.


Rubbing his hands on his face and eating it. Well, he was cute and happy- I just had a sticky mess to clean up.

And then I just wanted to post some pics of my two favorite guys.


Grant is our little book monster.

Just another side story... this morning I found Grant dipping my cell phone in the toilet. Luckily my phone still works, but I did have to dip it in another lysol bath.

Makeshift Fun

Recently, we've been making our own fun around the house. Enjoy the videos!

Whoa!

Grant had so much fun on the slides at the playground that he decided to create one in his room.

As we have said before, Grant has baseball on the mind.

Our little helper.

101 Things You Can Do with a Spoon and Other News

Last week Grant started crying so Chris and I went over to see what was wrong. We don't know what happened but this is where he cut his eye. Poor baby.


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.

How do you like them apples?

We are happy to be back in Champaign. Chris finished up his first week of school! Yeah, only a whole bunch more to go! We didn't have anything booked this weekend, so we decided to pick some apples at a local orchard. We picked a bag of apples (Ginger Gold) so I made Apple Crisp and it turned out pretty good.

As soon as Grant saw the apples he said "Ball". Good job Grant.

Yeah, Grant- you found another ball.

I think Fall is my favorite season- Good luck to everyone starting school this year!
