Christmas Post!

So since we spent Christmas with most of you, I'll keep the comments short.  We had so much fun, got tons of gifts, gave tons of gifts and came home.  All I can say is Grant is one lucky kid.

Walking, captured!

I will be back later with a Christmas post, but for now, I leave this video of Grant walking :)

11 month pictures!

Here they are...I thought Grant was feeling better this morning, but guess not.  Boo.  Luckily, I got these pictures before the waterfall.

11 months old!

So I don't have Grant's 11 month pictures today.  He wasn't feeling well and I didn't want to get him all dressed and then have no good pictures.  Instead I will leave you with lots of other fun pictures (Grant meeting Santa, getting suited up for the weather, etc).  As an update, Grant is definitely walking steps here and there and as many as 6 or 7 in a row.  It's pretty cool to watch him figure out that he can get around.  He also no longer really cares about his toys and only wants things he can pull out of the cabinets (ie tupperware).  I can't believe my baby is going to be 1 in a month.  Crazy, crazy stuff.
Here are the pics...

Thanksgiving and First Steps...

Well it has been a BIG week in the Haley household.  Grant's first Thanksgiving and first steps.  Wow!  He started the week being able to stand for so long on his own, but too scared to actually move.  Eamonn said it was like his feet were stuck in cement.  Definitely true.  On Thursday (actual Thanksgiving), he did a couple little shuffle steps, pretty exciting for sure.  Last night, he really brought out the big guns, walking 3 or 4 steps in a row before falling a couple of times.  We did try to video, but it was pretty impossible to get him going and then get far enough away in our small apartment to see him in action.  I'll keep trying though.  I'm sure I'll get one soon.  In other news, we had a great Thanksgiving with tasty food and fun times.  I also attended my first skype baby shower (yay Nicole!) which was great.  What a fun surprise!
Here are the pictures from this week!

Park Pictures and Playgroup!

Here are some randoms from the past week or two...
Grant enjoying the park in the cold (apparently I really like brown)

 With his buddy Caitlin!

Playgroup at our house!  Pretty much chaos, but I think everyone had a good time.

Me and my boy!

10 month pictures...

So okay, getting Grant to sit/stand still is next to impossible.  Even with Eamonn home from work for Veteran's day we got pretty much a very small handful of good pictures...but here they are for your viewing pleasure.

Also Wake Forest sent this...pretty sure it's an acceptance letter.  Grant is very advanced.
