Where has the time gone?
Kenny and I have always celebrated St. Patty's Day, so...since Grant was around this year, we decided to get him involved in the green fun!
Easter was fun this year. I had fun making Easter Baskets and filling the eggs with lots of little Gerber treats. Grant hunted eggs at Aunt YaYa's (Kim) house on Saturday and we spent some time with their family. Grant was in his jumperoo outside, but refused to put his feet down on the grass, I guess he just didn't like the feel of it. Uncle Doug went in and got a rug to put under his feet so he would be comfortable. Can we say, Spoiled much?

Major Update
Obviously Grant does not know who Santa is or what it is all about but...Mommy and Daddy do and I think this was simply the best Christmas that I have had in years!
Around noon the Rabe family made their way over to our house and we had our Christmas together and snacked and just enjoyed being together. Our nephew Taylor and Grant are really quite a pair together. We can tell that Grant thinks Taylor is pretty much it! David and Taylor gave Grant his first soccer ball and cones. So, as soon as Grant is ready he can begin learing to dribble. Grant was dressed in a Santa suit and looked oh so cute!
Saturday after Christmas, my family came over and we had our Christmas with the Rivers family. Kim and Doug made sure that they gave Grant plenty of toys and that all of those toys made noise. They kept saying something about payback. I can't imagine that as a teenager, I would buy my nephew toys that made noise. Dad and Eve came here from Oklahoma. Grant got a Jeep Wagon from PawPaw. Levi got a Wii from PawPaw and EVERYONE loved playing with it. Our time with our families sure did seem to go by fast!
Grant has been battling colds, ear infections, etc. It seems like we can't get him well and keep him well. On December 30th, we took Grant into the Pulmonologist because he had developed a cough, runny nose and fever. They did a little test and determined that he has RSV. RSV is a Respiratory Virus that affects the lungs of young ones. They say it is really hard on them to get over this stuff and that it is highly contagious.
We spent New Year's Eve at home, doing nothing and ringing in the New Year with a Breathing Treatment. Grant has been really good at doing all of the breathing treatments and as of Sunday, I finally feel like he is getting better. Grant will be out of daycare for a total of 3 weeks before he returns. We really need him to get well and stay well. This little guy has been through so much stuff lately and everyone tells me that the first year is difficult when they are in day care because they are building their immune system. I sure hope they are right! I am ready for this year to be over with so we can move on!
Here is a picture of Grant taken this evening, 1/12/09 showing off his happy self and his teeth!
