March 2010

It seems that every month is just as busy as the last. I am really working on trying to figure out how to walk. I have these fun toys with handles that I can walk behind, but I'm still kind of scared to let go and just walk. Maybe next month. I've been trying all kinds of new foods too. I changed to whole milk, I tried saurkraut (which I really like), currywurst, meatballs, cheese. So far I really haven't found anything that I don't like.

There were a lot of big happenings this month. My baptism was a lot of fun. I got my head a little bit wet and then I got to walk around church and everyone was smiling at me, so I started clapping. Everyone started to clap with me which was one of the most fun things I've ever seen. All of my grandparents were here for that too along with lots of other family and friends.

I also learned that I'm going to be a big brother! I hear that this is a big responsibility, but I'm not really sure what it involves yet. I'm sure someone will fill me in before this happens.

Until next month,
Grant

February 2010

As usual, there was lots to do and lots to learn this past month. I decided that while crawling is a good mode of transportation, that working on walking would be far better. I'm getting close and often will let go and stand there for a minute. That always results in falling over though. Someday I need to figure out how to do that without falling down. Then I'll give my mom and dad a run for their money.

I got to go to Orlando to very briefly see Aunt Lisa and Uncle John and then to see some friends of my mom and dad's. They were from Chicago and I hear that it is cold there. Just knowing how cold it has been here, I don't think that anything colder is for me. We did get some time to go out to parks and do some geocaching. Mom and Dad keep telling me that it is fun. I enjoy being outside and the parks usually have some fun playgrounds, so I'm ok with it for now. Maybe I'll get the rest of the idea later.

One of my new favorite things is to get out of my seat when I finish eating and start feeding all of the cheerios that I hid while eating to Visken. He seems to like it too and I laugh when he runs after them or licks my hands. I've also really started to help mom in the kitchen.

Next month is a big month for me. I get baptized and might be walking by the end of the month.

January 2010

As usual, the past month has been pretty busy with lots of things happening. I got to experience my first Christmas and saw my first New Year. Christmas was a lot of fun. There was a tree in our living room which was kind of strange, but it was fun to play with and had pretty lights on it, so I guess it was ok. Christmas was a lot of fun. I got some fun new toys and got to see Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lisa and Uncle John. I fell asleep early on New Year's Eve. Maybe when I am older I'll stay up to see the ball drop, but for now, sleep seems more important.

I've learned lots of new things this month. I have gotten much better at crawling and get around pretty well now. Being mobile makes it much easier to chase my dog around too. I didn't do much traveling this month and spent most of the month pretty close to home. I did get to spend some time going to the gym and to MOPS with Mommy.

Look for more next month.
