Grant 12 months

Grant's 1! And if I thought Tyler's first year went fast, Grant's went by at light speed I think. 

He is beyond walking into almost running, people comment all the time about how fast he is. 

His hair is getting blonder and curlier and I don't see haircut plans in his near future. 

He's really starting to pick up more words now and so far his favorites are mama, dada, no!, dog, ball, down and please (ssssssssss) 

We are just starting to work on weaning, which I may regret saying- I am really looking forward to in a way that I didn't with Tyler. I have been much more present during Grant's first year than Tyler's because I was still coaching then. Feeding Tyler was always a way that I felt instantly connected to him especially after Id been away. Feeding Grant has been just something I do often throughout the day (and night!) and since he never really took a bottle, I've never really operated on my own timeline always his. It's been a good year for us and I'm proud we made it this far, but I'm ready to let him grow up a little and gain a little distance- literally and figuratively between us. I hope he feels the same!
