Wow! Where has the time gone. . . .

We have been so busy over the last few months. Grant is a world champion speed crawler. He can flat out move! Sometimes when he is crawling his hands cannot keep up with his legs and he ends of on his face with his little booty stuck up in the air which is too cute. I wish I had a picture of that, but his recovery is too quick. He is also so very close to walking. He actually took two steps the other night unassisted walking from Daddy to Mommy, but the only problem is replication. We cannot get him to do it again. He would rather just crawl over to us because he can do it so much faster, but he can also cruise around furniture with the best of them.

Grant has had a lot of changes other than walking in the last few months. At school, he switched from the infants class to the crawlers/walkers and now that class has been consolidated with the Toddlers class. Who knew that we would have to worry about school consolidation at such a young age and especially when you are paying for it? It was a difficult transition for him. He had been with Miss Linda, Daisy, and Katie since he started at three months old, but it was time as he was crawling over the infants (literally over them) and taking away their toys. Now he is the youngest child in his class and before the consolidation was the only boy in a class of five. He was spending lots of time with the ladies who are all little cuties.

A couple of weeks ago, we started going to Water Babies at the Swim Ranch. Grant has done excellent. The family that owns the Swim Ranch is awesome. You can tell they have been doing this for a long time with lots of age groups. He seems to think the water is pretty okay. He has practiced getting the water out of his face by doing motor boat which he excels at doing. He and Daddy practiced getting in and out of the pool the correct way and jumping in on the count of three. He has not mastered kicking your legs yet, but none of the other kids in his age range have either, so I think that we are okay. I hope you like all of the pictures because we have made many. We also bought him a little blow-up pool for the back porch which he liked quite a bit until his face slips into the water. He did not like that at all and was ready to get out immediately, but you will all get to see how it happened because Daddy got it on video.

Oh, and one last thing, Grant isn't talking other than the occasional Mama, but his favorite word (and person) Dada he says all of the time. He is trying to make the same sounds that we make. He will often imitate the same inflection of his voice that his Daddy just did when Tim has been talking to him. It is so cute, but I have not found much of anything that I don't adore about our little boy.

Have a great weekend & Happy Father's Day!
