Stephen Matthew

Oh BOY....Stephen likes to point at everything and say, "this?" He is standing alone a lot and still taking a few steps at a time. He and Grant like to play with balls and cars. Grant will sometimes build blocks with Stephen, if he does not knock them down first.

Grant Alan

Grant loves to fight with his brother and it is getting worse. It seems like Grant is telling Stephen that he is sorry and giving him a hug all day long. He's a smart little cookie, he's mean to Stephen when I am not in the room. Little does he know, I have eyes in the back of my head. :-)

The other day we were driving on Hefner and Blake commented on the Jews landscaping, so he said, "THose poor Jews." From the back seat, Grant said, "poor juice".

While at the mall, I was bra shopping and Grant was with me, he goes out to Blake and gets picked up. Grant feels of Blake's pecks and says, "daddy bra too?"

Grant was tired of hearing me tell Blake to get his shoes on and so Grant decided to just go and get them himself. He came to the living room with a black dress shoe and a brown one.

Grant weighs 24.6 lbs.....growing slowly but surely.

His first step.

Saturday, Stephen decided that he would take his first steps. He took 2 full steps all on his own. He has continued to do so every day. He is 13 1/2 months and he weighs 20.4 lbs.

3 years ago today, we moved into this house and I was 6 weeks pregnant with our Grant. The time has flown by and we have since added to our family. Grant is getting so big and talking all the time. He is putting 3-4 words together and he's so easy to talk to. He and Stephen just love playing and they laugh together and it's just so sweet. Yes, they do fight on occasion. Grant is sitting next to me right now and we are watching the NBA finals...."ba-tet-ball", he loves it. Grant loves going to the zoo and playing outside.

Stephen is turning into a little boy. He plays patty-cake and loves to play peek-a-boo. He is saying, dada, mama, dog, ball, water and yellow. He is walking behind push toys all over the plays and even walking along the wall in the hallway. He kinda needs a haircut. His curls are oming over his ears and the back is really curly. I do not plan on cutting his hair for a while. Stephen loves his bubble machine that Nana and Papa got him for his birthday. He also loves the bathtub. One more thing.....I find Stephen playing in the toilet. I hear a splash and then I hear him say "wa-wa". I run in there and he has the biggest smile on his face, it's just priceless. Stephen is my little garbage disposal, that kid will eat anything! LOVE IT.
