So Grant's eats is kind of defunct. It's hard to keep up with blogs, especially when you have an 8 month old daredevil on your hands. When he goes down for a nap, I need to have some quiet time to recharge for the next awake time. He is a super fast crawler and grabs on to anything to stand up. And now he doesn't want to hold on anymore, so I have to be fairly close in case he goes down hard. Unfortunately that can lead to some bumps and bruises. And Grant had himself quite a bruise last night. He was so excited to see Eamonn when he got home from work that he sped towards and dove into the footboard of our bed. Instant purple bruise/bump. Oh man, did it look painful. We actually took him to the pediatrician because it was so instant and so dark. He's fine though...apparently foreheads bruise easily. Here's a pic this morning (looking much better than last night)

On the Grant's eats front, he's been eating all sorts of things, beans, chicken, cheese, bread, pasta....he's not really much into being fed though. He wants to pick everything up himself including the spoon. I guess this is a phase that a lot of babies this age go through because it seems to be pretty common. Here's a picture of him making a huge mess, but really enjoying his cheese
So that's the update...lots of excitement, some frustration and an injury. Here's a picture from yesterday of my happy (bruise-less) baby!
I'm sure that's the first of many bumps and bruises for an active little boy like Grant. He seems like he's doing fine today. You can see the bruise healing already. Love how he's so independent about feeding himself. Can't wait to see him this weekend!
ReplyDeleteaww, his first bruise. I'm sure he took it like a champ.
