Colorado and 20 months!

Last week we visited our friends Pat and Gibson in Colorado Springs. Grady had his first flight and did great! I was surprised he was not scared on the airplane. He made friends with the flight attendant and he dove across our laps to go to her. She whisked him away (to our surprise) but returned after a visit to the cockpit to get some wings.

Here we are at lunch in the cute town of Manitou Springs.

Grady enjoyed playing with 3 year old Laurel (and baby Freddy).

They had lots of fun in the back seat together..

We visited Garden of the Gods.

This was just supposed to be a pose of Grady climbing, but he took off. (With snack in hand, of course.)

Alex and Pat went hiking and climbed about 1,000 feet.

We felt like Grady learned so many new things on our trip. Lots of new words like Mee- Mou (Mickey Mouse), pee-pop (lollipop), doggie, and outside. He had his 20 month birthday last Friday. He is starting to put words together like "dada night night" when Alex is sleeping and can answer questions like, "What do you want for lunch?" (The answer is always "butt-butt" for peanut butter). He always wants to play outside and will bring my shoes to me and try to put them on my feet so I will take him.

We love to see how he is learning new things everyday!
