14 Months

Our little Grant is 14 months old as of yesterday. Wow he is growing up. Each day he seems more like a little boy and less like a baby. Here are a few tid bits about Grant right now.

• His hair is getting curlier in the back and I think it's pretty cute. Sean comments everyday that Grant needs a hair cut, but until Grant decides to sit still when I pull out the shears, his hair will remain long.

• He is a walking machine!! He is all over now and loves the freedom. He seems less fussy in general because he is more independent and can explore the upstairs on his own. (Now that we have a gate of course.)

• Grant loves to mimick sounds that Sean or I make. He says "mama", "dada", "nana" (for banana), and "yummy". If I say "yaba daba dooooooo" he looks at me and repeats "doooo". It's fun that he's starting to interact more.

• Grant absolutely loves grapefruit. Weird huh? He eats one pretty much everyday. I just slice it in half and spoon out the pieces for him. He gobbles it up without anything on it.
• Everytime we go outside and sit in the grass he tries to eat leaves, rocks, and anything he can get his hands on. He swallowed a muddy leaf the other day before I could grab it from him. Yuck.
• Grant now has 8 teeth. I bought him a little toothbrush and he loves to suck on it. Hopefully it's doing some brushing while he's at it.
• Grant refuses to drink from a sippy cup. He only wants to use real cups. This is such a hassle because he gets soaked pretty much everytime he drinks anything. Silly boy.
• Since we got a new, forward-facing carseat Grant is enjoying the view. He's always very calm in the car as he watches the world move by. We ended up getting the Graco My Ride 65. Hopefully we'll love it as much as we loved our Chicco infant carseat.
