It's been a while....

WOW.... I just realized how long it's been since I posted. I need to be better about this. We have had quite a few changes since the new year! Dean is now 9 months old. He is crawling, pulling up, trying to learn how to walk and talking... "da da" is his favorite, followed by an occasional "ma ma". He's still pretty bald, although he is starting to grow some hair in the back! He's got an infectious smile that melts all your negative energy away. You can't help but smile when he's smiling at you.

Grant is 3.5 now. He's virtually potty trained!!!!! Yeah - this has been a very long road! But now he will stop what he's doing, most of the time, to go potty. He is such a smart little boy. He's always thinking and remembering things we have told him in the past - like not to stand on your toys or not to step on cheerios that Dean dumps on the floor. Then when he sees a toy or cheerio on the floor, he'll tell me he's not going to stand on it or step on it, without even a word from me. He is so caring and loving and ALWAYS wants to help - from making bottles for Dean to scooping Hudson's poop in the yard. Which brings me to the funniest story of all time....

As I said, Grant loves to help Daddy scoop poop. Even when Matthew's not home, he goes out and scoops Hudson's poop. Two Saturdays ago, Matthew and I were inside tending to Dean and Grant was outside scooping poop. All the sudden, we look out the kitchen window and see Grant with his pants around his ankles. Turns out, there was no more poop in the yard, so Grant decided to scoop his own poop! He made such a mess in the process that Matthew had to strip him and hose him off. It was classic. We're still laughing about it.

Here's my most recent favorite picture.....Adorable superhero shirts compliments of Ms. Cecile!
