Giggles and snot

That pretty much sums up from February 1 until now, actually, but serves well to describe this week too.

As I mentioned last post, we are finally all back in one place.  It's nice to have the whole family together again.  Besa has decided not to let us go again!


Matt has been really keeping up with his running, and ran a 5K on Sunday to test his time.  He did great, coming in third in his age group at 18:38.  Grady and I came out in the rain to cheer.


Can you see Matt?  (He's in white on the far left.)


We celebrated Matt's successful race with Grady's first "ice cream."  There's a frozen yogurt place down the street from us, and they have little sample cups.  We gave Grady some vanilla, and he seemed to think it was okay but nothing special.


We started walking home, and the next time we checked on him this is what we found!
I guess he liked it after all!

Grady continues to love standing up.  Today he started standing up in his crib too, which is unfortunate since he still can't get himself back down.   Here he is quite pleased at himself for conquering the dining room chair.


And at the table.



I am not up on the child development stages, but Grady started putting objects inside other objects this week, which seems like something. Here he is showing off his new skill.


We were all successful in not getting sick for about a week, but Grady mysteriously picked up another cold earlier this week.  It got bad enough today that I picked him up early from daycare.   He was definitely crankier than usual, but not so cranky that he could frown through a bath.  I had a hard time narrowing down these pictures, so here are a bunch of him having a good time splashing in his bath.

 Big splash!

I'm hoping today was the worst of it and he will be on the road to recovery tomorrow. 

One more random video before signing off.  I forgot to post this video of Grady laughing hysterically at something totally random.  I love it when he cracks up for absolutely no reason.
