The Fish Tank

Dear Grady~ Goodness gracious, child! Your life is on fast forward! Ten months old! I cannot believe it! I had to post the picture above because this shows exactly who you are: crazy hair, drool sliming down your face, and a sweet smile. You have 5 new teeth with another on its way out. Your teeth are so cute and add more personality to your cute little face. They have also helped you begin to eat more solid food which you LOVE. You really don't want baby food anymore. You pull to standing easily and on anything and everything. You have started to stand all by yourself without holding onto things. You walk around pushing cars and whatever else moves. I think you will be walking by your first birthday. You love the freedom of moving around and the ability to climb on and annoy your brother. Jack still loves you so much and is incredible with you! He really enjoys playing with you and being your big brother. Grady, you light up our lives. You are such a joy! You make us laugh and smi...

We are LOVING this glorious weather! Each day just keeps getting better and better! The sun is shining and temps are in the 60s. That being said, we have enjoyed some serious outside time. When you live in a place where it's freezing for months, the first sunny day is like Christmas and freedom and rolled into one! And there is nothing like some bubbles on a beautiful sunny afternoon!

Since today is the day of love, I thought I'd blog about something I adore and want to remember forever! Scott always gives the boys a bath. I am not sure when he started this but a while back he put lotion in Jackson's hair and told him it helps keep the bad dreams away. Now, every night, Jack puts lotion in his hair to help keep those bad dreams away. Just one of those things I don't want to forget.

We have had quite the winter! I cannot believe that we got over a foot of snow! The weatherman said it was going to snow but I didn't really believe them. I figured we'd get a little. Wow was I surprised to wake up to snow everywhere! It began snowing in the middle of the night and snowed all day! Jackson LOVED it! We set up a tent in the living room to have a little camp out since we can't play outside for very long. We did go out and have a mean snowball fight. We had to build a snowman and make snow angels too. Jack went for a little roll in the snow and ate a tom of the stuff! I even made him snow ice cream! All while Grady was snoozing away of course! He is not a big cold weather fan! I enjoy looking out the window at the beautiful winter wonderland! However, I am glad that we do not live where it snows constantly! Bundling myself and the kids up for the snow everyday would be a chore!

Grady's hair has become quite the conversation piece. Everywhere I go I talk about his hair with someone. It's quite funny. I actually don't know what to do with it. It has a life of its own. He is getting a mullet in the back so I am going to have to trim it soon. I am interested to see how this mane progresses. I know that I will always remember Grady's hair when he grows up! The, "I am so over you taking pictures of me, mom" look!

I went to urbandictionary.com and looked up our names. Weird how fitting the definitions are! Scott's is just weird. Scott: a male friend who is extremely intelligent, funny, kind, and always there for you. They usually plan to do something to better the world like going in to the Marines or Army. Liked by a lot of people and usually very attractive Megan: A girl that is very stubborn but at the same time can be the greatest friend on the planet. She loves pizza and is absolutley gorgeous. She is loved by everybody and is hilarious! Jackson: A person of high energy and appeal. His intensity is both a blessing and a curse. His spontaneity and enthusiasm are inspiring but at times exhausting. He is easily loved and a pure joy to all who meet him. His zest for life is contagious. Grady: a person who is likely to make anyone smile do to his good looks and extreme funnines. Wyatt: Defined as "Little Warrior"...we shall see if he lives up to his name;)
