Busy, Busy, Busy!

Grant is sooo busy these days! He is crawling faster everyday and is always getting into something. He pulls up on EVERYTHING and doesn't even hesitate anymore. So today we decided to go get a couple baby gates. We got the Superyard and I felt bad about putting him in a "cage" so we just wrapped it around his play area in the living room. This was the best idea ever-to get a gate-now I don't have to keep chasing him if I am trying to get something done and I don't have to worry about him pulling the TV down on himself. He doesn't seem to mind being in there and Oakley can get in and out just fine, so Grant never feels lonely! I'm sure soon he will be trying to crawl over the gate, but for now it keeps him in one area! We also got two smaller gates, one to keep him out of the kitchen and one to keep him out of our bedroom, when he is not in his play area! The only thing I don't like about the smaller gates is that you have to step over them instead of walking through them, but that's ok because they are not that tall.

Hmmm...now how do I get on that side?

Okay let me out now!

Well, I guess this is not so bad!

He is growing up waaaaaay to fast. Just last week he starting holding his bottle all by himself. Chris said that he was able to do it a while ago, but I didn't want to believe it because I still want him to by my little baby! But it does make it a little easier for me, because when he is hungry and I have something I need to do, I can give him the bottle and he can feed himself! :)

If you know my family or have ever been to River Oaks to eat with us, you know how we feel about our melba toast and thousand island dressing (don't judge until you tried it)! It is something that we have been eating since I can remember. Everyone in my family loves it (Chris, doesn't really like it-but we still love him). Well, last weekend it was time for Grant to have his first taste and he LOVED it! I didn't doubt that he wouldn't like it, he is my son and part Marshburn! :)

Yummy!!

Grant has been spending a lot of time over at Nonnie and Poppy's lately. They are sooo sweet to watch him for me while I go to work for a little bit, go get my hair done, or even just run to Target by myself (always nice to have a little time to myself). I know that he loves going over there because he has two people there (sometimes three if my mom is there) who give him their undivided attention! The picture below is his mode of transportation while he is over there. He loves to sit in this buggy and walk the halls and see all people that are out at Non and Pop's. If they pay attention to him long enough, they will probably get to see his patty-cake and a HUGE smile! Thanks again Non, Pop, and Mom for all that you do to help me on days Chris is working (or fishing)! :)

Hope everyone has a good weekend! I am so glad that its finally here!
