Gameday and a New Toy

It's football season and I am ready.....I have my gameday outfit on and daddy's wallet! Go Gamecocks!

I also got some new Gamecock shoes.....they have squeakers in them and it is so much fun to run around in them. But mommy and daddy took the squeakers out after a while....I will get them back in there soon though.
I love to pull everything out of daddy's wallet!

I got my very own vacuum! It makes noises like the real thing.

More Beach Pictures

Here are some more pictures from our Family Vacation to Myrtle Beach!

Uncle Rhett is going to college right down the road so he stopped by to say hello!

I love this ocean stuff!
Daddy and I chillin' at our pool

Mommy, daddy and me at the beach! I would prefer to just play in the sand instead of this photo stuff...

Daddy dug me a hole and it was a lot of fun!

At the pool again...

Dinner time...

We went to visit my great grandparents while we were there....this is me and Great Grandpa LC

We went to Crabby Mike's and I got my own tee-shirt....check it out!

I LOVE seaweed.....

Very confused by shadows....this is the first time I have seen one.

Salt water....yuk!

Family Vacation Pictures

Here are some pictures from this week at the beach! We are having a great time and the weather is perfect! I would really like to just stay outside ALL the time now.

Whew....this pictures stuff is hard work!

Grant meets the Beach!

We are at the beach this week for Labor Day! I have never seen the ocean or walked in the sand so I am really excited! We are also going to my cousin Drew's 1st birthday party. It is a long drive so here we go....

All packed up and ready to go....

We have arrived at Drew's party and I already spotted some ducks! I love to say "duck" and I really wish they would let me come closer to them.
I am lookin hot today!

At the party.....I really wanted to open Drew's gifts for him but everyone kept telling me no.

FINALLY....they took me to the beach! And guess what....there were birds. I loved the birds so mommy and daddy got some bread and we fed them.

I really loved the sand but not when it got on my hands. I would say "yuk" and shake my hands. I am sure by the end of the week I will not mind it.

This is actually my first time on the beach in this picture. We are staying in the pink house behind me. I didn't know what to think at first but then starting running around all over the place.

I love the ocean! I am not scared at all of the waves and love to sit right where the they come in. A few times they almost knocked me over but I just laughed!

New Experiences....

I decided that I have seen mommy and daddy walk Mason long enough, it is MY turn. I really enjoy it too.....although Mason is not so sure!

Check it out....daddy got me my very own Home Depot apron.
I don't really like milk but I do like drinking from a real cup! So, I decided to try some milk this week. I still prefer my juice but this was really fun.

Got Milk?

I am no Romeo but I do have a Juliet!

Mommy, Daddy and I went to dinner with our neighbors last night. I have a younger lady on my arm and her name is Juliet (she is one month younger than me). We had a lot of fun together running around outside the restaurant after dinner. I wouldn't look at the camera with all of the action around us.

15 Months Old....

I am 15 months old now! Mommy took me to the doctor today for my 15 month appointment and here are my stats...

Height 32 & 3/4 inches (90th percentile).....getting very tall these days
Weight 24lb 7oz (60th percentile)
I got one shot, my DTaP vaccine and I didn't even cry this time. But I did wave "bye bye" to the nurse right after it was over which everyone thought was very funny!

I have 4 top teeth and 4 bottom teeth and I have a killer bite if you dare to put a finger in there! I am drooling like crazy again so my molars are on their way!

I can say a few words now like......"Kick", "Keys", "Cheese", "Da Da", "Balloon but it sounds like Boon"...we are still working on Ma Ma. I comprehend much more than I can say though and I really LOVE to get my way, just like mommy does. Mommy says I may be a "strong willed" child, ha ha! I can point to body parts when asked and make animal sounds like "moo" for a cow.

I have gotten pickier about food lately too. Things I love are....cheese, yogurt, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and most other fruit.....as well as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, grilled cheese, quesadillas and macaroni and cheese.....lots of cheese! And of course my juice to top it all off! Mommy keeps trying to get me to eat different meats and veggies but I just throw them to Mason......he has gained some weight and gotten sick a few times from eating all of my table food I throw him, oops!

I have a new nanny now too. Her name is Ann and she is my grandma Carol's first cousin. I have really enjoyed our time together so far and hope that it works out for a long time!

I love to help vacuum! I know where mommy keeps it and I go and stand at the door and demand that it is opened so we can vacuum! Then, I get my separate (non working) attachment and help the entire time and say "vroom, vroom".

A New Friend...Winston

My grandma came to keep me for a day and brought a friend, Winston. He was about 6 weeks old and so much fun to follow around. She rescued him and now Winston is with a very nice family. I told mommy and daddy that I really want one of these kitties....but we are going to wait a few more years before that happens unfortunately. Here are some pictures of us playing together....

The Art of Sharing!

It has been a long time since my last post, so I apologize. We have been busy this summer for sure. I am now trying to run and enjoying my new found stability. I love to be outside every chance I can get too. Although, it has been soooo hot this summer that we can't stay outside for very long. My cousin Drew came to visit me and everyone found out that I hate to share! The word SHARE has just not been a part of my life. So, every toy that he tried to get....I promptly went and took it from him. Of course, I didn't want to play with it but sure didn't want him to either. And I had a distinct advantage since I can walk and he can only crawl or walk behind things. We did have a lot of fun too and I am sure we will be fast friends as we get older!

Sorry Drew, this one is mine!

Let me show you how to drive this thing!
I can definitely still crawl pretty fast!
Enjoying some pool time......check it out ladies....I have goldfish....
I am a great sweeper.....let's hope "janitor" is not in my title one day though
Enjoying my blow up toy in the living room!
