Summertime Fun!

So Grant and I have been all over having fun in the sun.  I'm getting a nice tan and he's staying nice and pale (hopefully).  Here are some pictures!

At the park (giving the duck a hug)

Practicing for the beach at Pier C.

Climbing!

Pool party at Caitlin's house!

 Puppet show...bubble time.

17 months and Sesame Place!

Grant turned 17 months this week.  Only one month away from being 1 1/2.  Time is flying by!  He has started to talk a lot more this month.  Saying lots of things from hi, bye, mama, dada, book, dog, ball, more, etc to spitting out a couple word combos like "go up" and "i did it".  Fun stuff.  Of course his favorite word is "no" which is pretty tough when he just says no to everything.  He's also running.  Full on flying forward.  We are definitely getting a workout around here between the stairs and the chasing.  I took a few pictures on his 17 month birthday to which he responded "More, more, more".  I guess he likes getting his picture taken.

We also visited Sesame Place this weekend.  I wasn't sure how Grant would respond as sometimes he's a little shy in unfamiliar places.  He loved it!  I was happily surprised that he didn't show any restraint and really enjoyed himself.  He danced at the Elmo show and ran around the Big Bird's Bouncy Nest.  He also loves the water and really would have jumped in had we not stopped him.  Unfortunately it was a little chilly and cloudy, so we'll have to go back to enjoy the Count's Splashdown Castle.  I got some great shots of him with his buddy Mia.  They are pretty adorable together.

So long...

Sorry it has taken me so long to get this post out!  Here are an assortment of pictures from the park, Memorial day and Grant's first time at the water park.

Fun times at the Park!
Hugs with Ben

Memorial Day in Allendale

The water park!  It's just a glorified fountain, but Grant loves it!

And a short video!
