Eleven Months

This month continued with more language explosion for Grant. He talks or sings all the time, and his new trick is mimicking tunes or songs (mostly from Charlotte's iPod). He isn't walking just yet, but he is trying to master standing on his own - once that happens I think he will be on his way to some first steps. Speaking of steps, he has been climbing them at every chance he gets, and his crawl speed has increased incredibly. He's a quick mover! Keeps me on my toes. He also loves throwing balls into containers, carrying something in his hands wherever he goes, looking up to Charlotte and laughing at simply anything she does and he loves eating meat and potatoes! This little man is really all boy! Tomorrow our sweet baby boy will be one. Tonight we spent the (very hot) evening at our town carnival and he got to ride a train ride with me. Just a year ago at that very moment Chris and I were checking into the hospital preparing to welcome our second-born baby, a son, who would change our world for the better immensely. I've realized just how very fast the first year came and went but in turn we are beyond excited to see what this next special year will bring!

For now, our baby boy at eleven months in the front yard in spring...
