my little helper

Grant is always the first to volenteer when I ask, "who wants to vacuum the van?"  We got this small vacuum for Cameron's birthday.... not one of the greatest birthday presents known to man but I wanted a vaccuum and his birthday was coming up so...  in my defence the van, kitchen and carpet has never been more vacuumed.

A new bed

Some friends of ours upgraded to a bunk bed and offered us their toddler bed... we couldn't say no.  Grant was so excited to sleep in his new bed that he had are hard time... aah.... sleeping.  

He tried to show us that he really would stay in his bed but every time we left the room he would start giggling and "sneaking" out of bed.  He's not the quietest sneak I've ever heard. He likes to open and close doors then run back to bed laughing.  We gave him a few trys but ultimately he ended up sleeping in his crib that first night. 

Dallin insisterd on sleeping on the floor next to the bed. 

We've had the bed for a few weeks now and Gramt's slept in it maybe 3 times, the other nights we try, he just gets too excited to stay in bed.  Dallin and Katelyn don't mind because if he has to sleep in his crib they get to alternate sleeping in the new bed. 

Who knew a bed could be so much fun?

Grant at Grandma's house

Grant is in a happy, smiling stage. he loves to laugh and play. at 9 months old he trying to master crawling and finding his mouth at feeding time. he will still eat from a spoon but insist on spitting a bit of each spoonful out so that he can touch it with is fingers.

Cameron loves having his little kids to play with.

I love playing with them too.
