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!

New Pics!

Grant has been really into his fruit lately.  Thankfully he'll eat almost any kind of fruit you put in front of him.  Interestingly blueberries have fallen somewhat out of favor, but anyways.  Here's a few pictures of him enjoying his watermelon!  Quite a mess, but worth it.

We also had a lot of fun at the park both this morning and afternoon (hence the two different outfits...there was a yogurt situation at lunch that necessitated an outfit change).

Sidewalk chalk!

 Balloon fun in the afternoon...

Sneak Peek of Grant's photo session

If you want to check out Christie Adams blog there are some new pictures of Grant up.  We had such a fun photo session on Wednesday, lots of romping around in the park in Ridgewood.  I can't wait to see the rest.  She is so great at capturing Grant's personality!  What a talent.

My poorly documented Easter

I have only a few Easter pictures, but here they are.  Grant enjoyed his second Easter.  Kind of crazy that he's old enough for this to be his second Easter!  He's looking cute, my hair looks funny and the Easter bunny brought him some treats.  We had a delicious dinner at the Clinton Social (complete with french onion soup dumplings).  I wish that I had thought to get a group shot.  Oh well...

Happy 15 month birthday!

Grant is 15 months old today. That's 1 1/4 years old here people. Getting up there. He's getting bigger and smarter every day. Lately he loves climbing. Up on chairs, upstairs (thank god), up the slide and onto the park equipment. It's great stuff, very tiring. He's also developed a hilarious fake laugh. I'll have to see if I can capture it on camera. It's very funny. I do have a picture that kind of gets it. He's also becoming a classic toddler, tantrums and all. That part kind of stinks. He gets frustrated easily (more so if he's hungry or tired) when he doesn't get his way. I've done my best to ignore and distract, but it is hard. We're definitely just on one nap these days...ranging from 1-3 hours. It has opened us up to do a lot more in the morning. We've been taking advantage of the park being so close, in addition to the library and puppet shows in Hoboken. All in all good times. Here are a few pictures...

At the puppet show (there's two in town and this one is not the better one..)

Ducks!

Grant at the park...fake laughing in the second picture.

With my Mom!

More park pictures!

Thank goodness the weather is improving.  We have been spending most of our time outside.  It's so great to have a park in your "backyard".  Here are a few more pictures.

Park pictures!

Grant and I had a wonderful afternoon at the park yesterday and one of my very talented friends snapped this shot.  She is so great at capturing the little ones!
